Gifts she’ll adore (and actually use.)

Some people prefer winter to summer because they’d rather be cold than hot. In fact, more than one person has confessed to me that winter is easier to deal with because you can just “throw on layers” to get warmer. And they’re not wrong at all. A good winter coat is key to keeping you cozy in extra harsh winters. Another crucial component? Cold-weather leggings. These are importantly different from their fair-weather counterparts—at least, the best winter leggings are.

Keeping warm is easy when you opt for thicker materials, like faux leather or nylon. It also helps to have weather-proofed or insulated textiles, like thermal fabrics, cotton, and wool. This will help keep the warmth in and the cold out—but you have to know what you’re looking for. Usually, you want to shop for heavier or fleece-lined leggings so that you can be snuggly. But if you’re not in the mood to scour the internet or rummage through stores, it’s your lucky day.

Below, find our list of the 10 best winter leggings to snuggle into this snowy season.
