After a few years in Southern California, this is my first winter return to the east coast and I’m playing no games when it comes to keeping warm: from socks to coats, every layer will be scrutinized for its ability to retain heat.
Finding comfortable pants that didn’t look like shabby pajama bottoms was my latest mission. And I have good news because there are plenty of stylish sweater pants, fleece-lined fleeces, and other cozy, stretchy items to choose from.
Whether you’re heading to the office, enjoying a holiday party, or just lounging with friends, there’s a pair of winter pants for you.

These Old Navy fleece-lined leggings, which easily pass as pants thanks to their wide-leg silhouette and heavy fabric, can’t beat the price. They also offer plenty of sizing options, with three available inseam lengths (regular, petite, and tall) in sizes XS–4X.
Choose from black, navy, gray or cream, some of which are already sold out in select sizes. That price again!

You could easily wear these long draped jumper pants out of the house with the right styling (try a turtleneck, wool coat and leather boots). The vertical lines of the wide rib knit combined with the high rise give the illusion of elongated legs and, bonus points, they have pockets. Plus, they come in five go-with-everything colors like black and navy.

FYI, Lululemon has a lot of pants and leggings on sale right now. These extra skins aren’t built for the weather, but would be comfortable at home with a chunky sweater and your favorite slippers. Ten colors are currently up to 58 percent off, in sizes 0-20.
Don’t suffer in jeans this winter. Stock up on warm pants now and thank me in February.
