The thermometer is dropping and the days are impossibly dark and windy, but you still have to get out of the house and go to work, school, and run errands. These are the days of the year when your favorite pair of jeans just isn't going to cut it in the warmth department. You're already layering on thick sweaters, hats, and winter gloves, so why leave your lower half out in the cold?

Fleece-lined jeans are the wardrobe addition you need to protect your legs from the worst of the season without donning a full-on snowsuit every time you leave the house. These pants have the cut, length, and overall style of the trendiest jeans of the moment with a secret inner layer that's keeping you snug and cozy, regardless of the forecast.

Take a sneak peek at the best fleece-lined pants and jeans:

Fleece-lined pants have been around for years (if you grew up somewhere snowy, you probably had a pair as a kid), but fortunately styles and materials have evolved with the times. The pants on this list include popular styles like boyfriend jeans, wide-leg trousers, and straight-leg pants, as well as stretchy fleece-lined leggings that are great for traveling.

Now's the time to update your winter wardrobe with a pair of lined pants that will insulate you from whatever winter brings. We've researched the best-performing pants from across brands and price points. By combing through hundreds of reviews and product descriptions, we've found the best fleece-lined bottoms for every size, shape, and sense of style.

True Shape Jeans

Outwear giant LL Bean gave their popular True Shape Jeans a wintertime upgrade by adding soft fleece lining. The jeans come in petite, regular, and plus sizes as well as two inseam lengths. The sizes range from 2 to 20.

They have a classic straight-leg fit with a high rise that stays in place.

Rave review: "These are terrific: warm without being bulky, look like regular jeans- can't tell they have a lining unless you cuff them."

Ultra Soft Fleece Lined Denim Leggings

These pants from Hue unite the warmth of fleece-lined jeans with the stretchiness of a great pair of leggings. They come in three color options and sizes XS through XL, plus the details around the waist (and functional back pockets) add a touch of sophistication to an otherwise athleisure-like fit.

Rave review: "Very happy with these and I own three pairs. They fit nicely, although a little long for my shorter height."

Relaxed Fit Fleece-Lined Jean

These jeans have a trendy relaxed look with a 100% polyester fleece lining that protects against chilly temps and blowing wind. The lining has a cute flannel pattern that you can show off by cuffing your pant legs. This is a solid mid-rise pair of jeans with enough room and give to stay comfortable all day long.

Rave review: "When it's not raining, these fleece-lined jeans are perfect for walking my dog, doing some gardening. I love how warm they are and would sleep in them, except then I'd be too warm."

Recover High Rise Straight Leg Flannel Lined Jeans

These jeans from Lands' End are made from a blend of recycled and low-impact fibers that make these one of the most sustainable winter clothing options. They have a cute straight-leg design with a high-rise that stays in place. The fleece lining is flannel patterned for a touch of festivity in your outfit.

Rave review: "I’m so happy I bought these pants! The flannel layer helps to keep my legs warn and they’re nice looking too! I couldn’t ask for more!"

Voyager Fleece-Lined High-Rise Jeans

These close-fitting jeans have four-way stretch for added comfort and range of motion with the look of a classic pair of jeans. They have a "Slightly Curvy High Rise" cut and a slim straight-leg design that looks great with a cozy sweater.

Rave review: "These high rise jeans look great. They are so warm and comfortable I want to wear them everyday. I asked my husband to buy another pair for me for Christmas."

Winter Jeans

These lightweight, super stretchy jeans are comfortable and forgiving enough to wear on a long travel day. They come in 15 different colors (including hot pink and blacK) and washes to work with any wardrobe.

Rave review: "They are not two ply, so the fleece doesn’t bunch up separately from the denim. They are warm, and not bulky."

High Waisted Fleece-Lined Wide Leg Leggings

Sitting somewhere between sweatpants, jeans, and leggings, these wide-leg pants have an elastic waistband that won't budge and spacious flared legs for maximum movement throughout the day. They come in four colors, three lengths, and sizes XS through 4XL.

Rave review: "They washed well and I usually have to hem pants. I'm 5'5 and they're long, but not too long!"

Rugged Flex Relaxed Fit Fleece Lined Jean

These hardy Carhartt jeans are designed to withstand wear and tear if you're spending a lot of time outside this winter. They have just enough stretch to accommodate activities like hiking and yard work, but not so much that you'll be yanking them up all the time. The fleece lining is ample and warm, so you'll stay comfortable even on the most blustery days.

Rave review: "Buying clothes online can be a challenge. That being said, great look and feel with slightly more length than expected."

Boyfriend Flannel-Lined Jeans

Get on the boyfriend jean train with these stylish flannel-lined pants from Eddie Bauer. With two length options and both regular and plus sizing, these jeans are a natural fit into anyone's winter wardrobe. The fabric has a touch of spandex for added mobility, so you can comfortably sport these jeans on a hike.

Rave review: "Perfect flannel-lined jeans. The jeans are comfortable, warm, and fit well."

BeanFlex® Jeans, Mid-Rise Straight-Leg Lined

The flannel lining of these straight-leg jeans are woven with CoolMax fibers that are designed to wick away moisture, making these a great pair of pants for strenuous outdoor activities in the winter. Sweat can cool rapidly, leaving you shivering, so it's important to wear quick-dry clothing if you're sweating outdoors in the winter.

Note that many reviewers report that the pants run small, so your best bet is to size up.

Rave review: "I usually take a size 6 pants from Bean and with these jeans I had to order a size 8. But they are stylish, warm, and long lasting."

Arctics Fleece-Lined Jeans

Forget boyfriend-cut; these jeans are designed for men, but look great on anyone. They have a super-cozy sherpa lining that's thick and worth showing off with a cuff. With three inseam lengths and waist sizes ranging from 28 to 44, these jeans could offer a cute oversized look in the winter.

Rave review: "Here, in the Northeast, pants are only going to be so warm. These jeans are a great way to start preventing the cold from finding its way to my lower half."

Skyler Cozy Fleece-Lined Travel Pant

These stylish tight-fitting pants are designed for travel, so you know they're comfortable. They're also cute enough to wear around town and cozy enough for a day at your always-freezing office. With two color options (black and navy), you can fit these functional pants into your wardrobe with ease. Plus, they roll up into a compact ball for easy packing.

Rave review: "Perfect weight for winter days! Comfortable and you can dress them up or down."

High Rise Flannel Lined Straight Leg Jeans Black

This is a solid pair of jeans that looks great with many outfits, is comfortable, and just so happens to be equipped with a soft flannel lining for added warmth. With a high rise and straight leg cut, you'll be able to count on these winter pants to stay in style for years.

Rave review: "Bought these for those cold hours at the horse barn and very glad to have them. They fit perfectly and launder and machine dry well and retain their shape and feel."

Heattech Warm Lined Pants

These pants have a trendy baggy design for comfort, but they're easily dressed up for a put-together fit appropriate for the office. They have a soft elastic waistband and smart-looking fastener pockets. The inner fleece lining is the same color as the pant's exterior, so they're more subtle than the flannel patterns on other lined pants.

Rave review: "They remind me of high-tech fabric dress pants for women that are 4x the cost, almost identical fabric, but lined. Perfect for windy, chilly, wet New England days."

Fleece Lined Jeans

If you love the skinny jeans look, these fleece-lined jeggings are made for you this winter. They're made from a cotton/spandex blend that offers plenty of give without sacrificing the classic denim look. The pants are warm but not bulky, and plenty breathable so you can hike, work, and run errands in comfort.

Rave review: "True to size. Very comfortable and warm. While lined, they're not so thick that they look like it. Good quality."
