I've been cold for weeks. It starts on the school run, continues all day WFH, then is properly consolidated on the next school run.

In desperation I've tried various things, but the fur lined leggings from Primark are AMAZING. bit of a weird concept admittedly, but bloody hell they are toasty.

I imagine you could wear them under other trousers if you wished.

Honestly, game changing for any other freezers out there.....

I love mine - I bought them for working from home as I'm too stingy to put the heating on just for me (I've wfh for ten years so not just a covid thing). They are amazing!

The only problem is, I have massive cankles so I can't wear the leggings out in public as they add about an inch to my already huge lower legs Grin

@sparticle they certainly add girth to the leg, but I'm willing to live with that for being actually warm for the first time in weeks Grin. I think I'll buy a couple more pairs, I dont think I'll be willing to be without them now.

I have fleece lined ones from matalan. Not particularly bulky and very warm. I put on some joggers yesterday and was freezing compared with them. They’re back on today.

I have some "cosy" leggings from Primark that are slightly fluffy on the inside but more of a normal pair of leggings. Far warmer than ordinary ones but not as bulky as the furry ones (which I also have but they're too short)

B&M sell some that have a tog rating. Seriously toasty.

Are you talking about the Velvet plush leggings?!! They are a dream!! I have 4 pairs, worth every penny!

Redlorryyellowduck · 26/01/2022 11:02

I can't believe I'm so late to the party on this. I assumed someone would have mentioned them before if everyone knows how warm they are. Have you all been keeping them secret? Grin

I’ve never even heard of them — don’t they make your bottom half look weirdly artificially inflated? Like a lagging jacket for your legs?

SirChenjins · 26/01/2022 11:06

They’re brilliant, aren’t they?! Between them and my Dreamland heated throw I’m toasty warm, and I really feel the cold.

They do fleece lined tights too which are amazing.

I need something warmer for my legs for watching DS play football. I have a long down coat which is very toasty and I can put warm socks and boots on but it leaves my legs exposed and chilly. Do you think these would work on their own or would I need to put them under other trousers?

Redlorryyellowduck · 26/01/2022 11:09

@Tullig they are very stretchy, and the lucrative sort of flattens the fur against your leg. So you don't look like a lagged pipe. They may add a few millimetres to your legs, but they are so worth it.

@IToldYouIWasFreaky you could definitely wear them alone, but with a pair of joggers on top you'd practically combust

I love these! Can't say I've noticed any extra bulk. I bought a pair for my best friend for christmas too - also loves them for her outdoor work. Bought some for my boyfriend too Grin. He also loves them, but does not publically admit to wearing them...

They are amazing under trousers. I actually got too hot the other day, while walking in literally freezing weather. I just wish they had some kind of top version!

Herja · 26/01/2022 11:13

So much warmer than all the proper thermals I've owned.

Sounds fabulous! I'm going to buy some

I used to wear them for DS Sunday morning football under my jeans. Toasty Warm
