In the winter, it can be challenging to maintain your style while still appearing to have some. The combination of Storm Eowyn, icy temperatures, and rainy showers means all we want to do is stay inside in our dressing gowns.
However, if you’ve got to head out into the real world, whether that be into the office, a mid-week meeting or out to dinner, and want to avoid wearing your usual cold-weather trousers or leggings, we’re here to help you out.
If, like me, you wonder how they aren’t freezing to death when celebrities and influencers post their winter looks wearing tiny skirts and dresses. We’ve found out the clever hack used to keep your legs warm in the chilly weather, and it involves a pair of sheer-look fleece-lined tights. Our personal favourites come from M&, S for £15.
We believe that M&, S’s nude lining is a game-changer because it gives you that sheer tight look that other lined tights don’t, and the sheer aspect will give your look a more sophisticated twist.
For added warmth, these tights have a 140 denier design and brushed nude fleece lining. In cold weather, they let you wear skirts and dresses while also protecting your legs.
If you want to try this hack out for yourself, we’ve found our favourite fleece-lined tights on the high street below…
Best fleece-lined tights…
Calzedonia Sheer Effect Thermal Tights, £24.99 here
The selection of tights in Calzedonia is incredible. Whether you’re looking for vibrant block colours, fun fishnets or simple, high-quality black tights, they’ve got it all. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that they also have some sheer thermal tights on sale. £25 is slightly pricier than some other pairs we’ve found, however, Calzedonia’s quality is really unmatched, so we think they are well worth the investment.
To make sheer tights that help keep body temperature in cold weather, this pair combines two different products. The first pair of black sheer 30 denier tights to wear on top are nude-colored tights, which have thermal properties against the skin. This eliminates having to compromise on style and chilly legs.

Next Black Fleece Lined Sheer Look Tights, £20 here
Next is another retailer that sells fleece-lined tights. This pair, which is currently priced at £20, has a fleece lining that is ideal for the winter. We suggest purchasing knee-high boots to wear over the tights if you want to add a layer of warmth. Not only will this keep you warmer, but knee-high boots are right on trend for the coming season.
Because they work well against darker skin tones, we adore this pair from Next. This is because some of the market’s other tights’ linings are not as light as others.

Amazon 2 Pack Fleece Lined Tights, £14.99 here
If you’re looking for a pair that is not quite as sheer but isn’t a block colour, Amazon’s 2-pack of fleece-lined tights is the perfect mix. This pair’s stretchy high-waist elastic band helps shape the waist, flatten the stomach, and prevent binding up, in addition to keeping your legs warm.
Because they come in a two-pack, you get essentially shapewear and thermal tights in one, making this pair undoubtedly the most affordable. What a bargain!
