Warm winter leggings that still feel light and comfortable

When it's cold outside, it's lovely to have leggings that give you a little extra warmth.

But if you've tried winter leggings before, you might know that they're not always very comfortable.

Some feel heavy and thick, others are stiff, and some fit so tightly that moving around becomes a chore.

We wanted to change that.

So we created Bea Winter Leggings, a warmer version of our popular Signature Leggings.

What makes a good pair of winter leggings?

To us, good winter leggings are about more than just thick fabric.

Of course they should keep you warm, but they also need to feel lovely to wear.

There are three things we'd look for in particular.

A soft inner lining. A brushed inner lining feels cosy against your skin and can give you extra warmth on cold days.

Plenty of stretch. Even with thicker fabric, you should still be able to walk, sit and move without feeling restricted.

A good fit. Winter leggings should stay in place without pinching or feeling unnecessarily tight.

It might sound simple, but finding all three isn't always easy.

Bea: Our Signature Leggings, only warmer

Our Signature Leggings have become a favourite with hundreds of thousands of women thanks to their incredibly light, soft, stretchy feel.

So when we created Bea, our aim was simple: keep that feeling, but make the leggings warmer.

Bea is made from a thicker 290 gsm fabric with a beautifully soft, brushed inner lining.

The fabric is 75% polyester and 25% elastane, with plenty of four-way stretch.

That means you get extra warmth while keeping the flexible, comfortable feel that Signature Leggings are known for.

They don't feel stiff or bulky, and you're free to move even though the fabric is thicker.

The same fit as Signature

One of our main priorities was keeping the special Signature fit.

After all, warm leggings aren't much use if you're constantly pulling them up or the waistband digs in when you sit down.

That's why Bea has the same high waist and comfortable fit as Signature.

Happily, that also means you can choose the same size.

If you already have a well-fitting pair of Signature Leggings, you can confidently choose that size in Bea too.

Bea at a glance:

• A warmer version of Signature

• Lovely soft, brushed inner lining

• Thicker 290 gsm fabric

• Plenty of four-way stretch

• High waist with the same fit as Signature

• Pockets on both sides

• 100% squat proof

• Keeps its shape and colour wash after wash

When should you choose winter leggings?

Bea is ideal when you want a little extra warmth in everyday life.

They're lovely for walks, chilly mornings, active days out and about or simply a cosy afternoon at home.

You can also wear them for lighter workouts in colder surroundings.

If you're spending a long time outdoors in very cold weather, you may still need extra layers. Bea is designed to provide additional warmth, but it isn't a substitute for all other winter clothing.

Should you choose Signature or Bea?

If you want leggings for year-round wear and prefer lighter fabric, we'd choose Signature.

But when the temperature drops, Bea makes a lovely addition to your wardrobe.

You get that familiar, super-soft Signature feel in a warmer fabric.
