Now that Winter's in full throttle and flurries are a mainstay in most parts of the country, we often find ourselves facing a dilemma when getting dressed each morning: should we wear a skirt and freeze or just forget it and opt for pants? It's a tough choice, but luckily one that just got easier with this helpful roundup of sweater tights. We searched high and low for the best-rated, fleece-lined, knit, and overall-warm legwear and included them (along with some review highlights) in the slides ahead. Now you can focus your attention on more important things — like what you'll be wearing for tomorrow's #stylinghacks challenge.

Gap Maximum Heat Tights

The name alone — "maximum heat" — would be enough to sell us on these Gap tights ($20), but the comments were pretty great too. One in particular, titled "Amazing!!!" (note the four exclamation points), really caught our eye: the reviewer said they were so warm and soft it was like "cuddling the fabric softener bear." We'll take 'em.
