Back in December, we recommended these fleecey leggings ($75) from the appropriately-named brand Plush as a great gift for the freezing fashionista on your list. Now, upon their endorsement from our buds over at Refinery29, we had to scoop you to these equally-warming (and much more budget-friendly!) Anthropologie fleece-lined leggings ($18). With all this rain and snowy weather, we know you want to tuck these into your Hunter boots and slosh around town without fear of frostbite.

Check out our guides to the best leggings (under the “pants” category, because that’s what they are), black pants for your shape, and patterned stockings and tights.

Santa’s little elves must have been fast at work in the warmth category. Tugging up cold jeans is so last year. How about stretching out the icy leggings that have been sitting at the top of your closet? Ick.

Cue Plush Fleece Lined Leggings ($75), the instant tush toasters and will almost feel like the sunshine is beating down on those tanned calves. Your friends will pour thanks your way for such such a plushy, cozy gift.

An easy, go-to gift this season, the plush leggings can be worn with next to anything – boots, flats, heels. You may find them among holiday parties kicked up with a  sequined top or around town with this signature blouse. My chilly friends will be toasty and satisfied in no time. A no-brainer if you ask me.

Ahh, your workout-aholic friend who obsesses over every inch and “just doesn’t feel right” if she doesn’t run 10 miles a day and do two hours of yoga. If you need her, she’s probably at the gym.  She met her last two boyfriends at Equinox, she’s besties with all of the Lululemon sales girls, has been known to wear yoga pants to her corporate job, and she’s no stranger to marathons. Get her something she’ll actually use: that gift certificate to a pottery class might have been your thing, but she certainly didn’t use it.

J Brand seems to always have the pulse on what our bums and legs want most. And as the temperature drops and the warmth and coziness factors come into wardrobe play, we found an especially svelte option with J Brand Velvet Leggings ($183).

Warm and festive, the leggings create a little toaster for your tush (plus, they fit incredibly well). Perfect for tucking into black riding boots or dolling up with pumps (Brian Atwood?), these versatile leggings give a little oomph to the cotton kind.

Stacked next to plush leggings, cold jeans never looked so unattractive. And when else can you adorn yourselves in the covetable velvet fabric without channeling 8th grade school dance dresses (crushed velour anyone?).  Let J Brand steal your gift giving show this holiday season.

Or, while you wait, be sure to shop our holiday gift guides to the 50 best gifts under $50, gifts for men, and gifts for the home.

Cue the fireplace.

What could be more festive than this perfect lounge wear outfit for opening presents, making breakfast and snapping holiday pics? About a million times better than those cheesy pajama bottoms (sorry, true!) this look is also more comfortable, and your little brother doesn’t have the exact same pair. If you’re visiting in-laws, this is the perfect combo, too, especially if the fam spends a lot of time in their PJs.

Bonus: you won’t be embarrassed if photos show up on Facebook, or if the UPS guy shows up at the door at the last minute, either.

You kinda need some gifts, too: see the best gifts for her, 2011′s Most Wanted Gifts and 50 Gifts Under $50 (it’s totally ok if you cheat and get something for yourself…)

Confession: I bought up a bunch of these before I published this post. #sorryhadto

Winter is a LONG season. So even though spring is supposedly around the corner, you can never be too prepared for next year. Which is why I’m excited to tell you about this sale on Plush Fleece Tights ($25.90, from $37). The best thing is that the fleece is so thin, it doesn’t make your legs look big, and bonus: you can wear dresses all winter long without freezing your butt off.

While they’re worth the entire $37 even when they’re not on sale, it feels better to save some moolah.
