Choose your color
All 3 colors share the same knit, cut and sizing. Screens and lighting vary, so your pair may look slightly different from the photos.
| Color | What it looks like | Pairs well with |
|---|---|---|
| Black | Deep, solid black with a soft matte finish. | Any top, from white tees to bright knits |
| Charcoal Gray | Dark gray with a cool tone and a soft, heathered look. | Cream, white, camel or burgundy tops |
| Oatmeal | Light warm beige with a soft, heathered finish. | Chocolate, olive, navy or cream tops |
Black is the easiest to style and hides marks well. Charcoal gray is a softer option for daily wear, and oatmeal gives a light, cozy look that suits knits in warm browns and creams.
Warm, but not bulky
The knit is medium to thick, so you feel the warmth the moment you pull them on. It is thicker than a standard legging but slimmer than a lined pair.
That makes them easy to wear under a dress or a long sweater, and they leave room in your boots for warm socks. The stretch moves with you when you walk, sit or climb stairs.
Where to wear them
Everyday outfits
Pair them with an oversized sweater and sneakers or ankle boots for errands, school pickups or coffee with friends.
Work and travel
A long knit tunic or cardigan turns them into an easy outfit for the office or a long trip. The high waistband stays put when you sit for hours.
Under dresses and skirts
Wear them under a knit dress, a sweater dress or a midi skirt for extra warmth on cold days, with tall boots to finish.
Cozy days at home
The soft knit and stretchy waistband are comfortable for lounging, working from home or a quiet weekend morning.
How to style thick winter leggings
Balance the slim leg with a longer, looser top. These pairings work well in all 3 colors.
Casual and cozy
An oversized sweater, sneakers and a crossbody bag. Browse our women’s tops and t-shirts for easy pairings, or read our guide to wearing leggings casually.
With boots
A long knit, ankle boots and a wool-look coat. Oatmeal looks good with chocolate brown boots.
Dressed up
A fitted turtleneck, a long blazer and heeled boots. Black or charcoal gray works best.
Layered
A long cardigan or puffer vest over a plain tee, with a scarf for cold mornings.

Fabric, fit and details
The fabric is a blend of cashmere and rayon. It is soft and silky against the skin, with enough stretch to keep its shape.
The waistband is high and wide, and it stretches from about 22 to 32 in (56 to 82 cm). It sits above the navel and holds the leggings in place without a zipper or button.
The cut is slim and close to the body from hip to ankle. The leg ends at the ankle, so you can wear them with low sneakers or tall boots.
The colors are solid with a soft, heathered look in charcoal gray and oatmeal. Shades can vary slightly between screens.
Size guide
Choose your size by height first. The waistband stretches from about 22 to 32 in (56 to 82 cm) in every size, so the main difference between sizes is the length.
- Measure your height without shoes.
- Find your height in the chart and note the size.
- Check the length against your inseam and boots. For a full walkthrough, see our guide to taking measurements for clothes.
| Size | Suggested height | Length |
|---|---|---|
| M | 5 ft 1 in to 5 ft 3 in (155 to 160 cm) | 31.5 to 32.3 in (80 to 82 cm) |
| L | 5 ft 3 in to 5 ft 5 in (160 to 165 cm) | 33.1 to 33.9 in (84 to 86 cm) |
| XL | 5 ft 5 in to 5 ft 7 in (165 to 170 cm) | 35.0 to 35.4 in (89 to 90 cm) |
| 2XL | 5 ft 7 in to 5 ft 9 in (170 to 175 cm) | 36.6 to 37.4 in (93 to 95 cm) |
Measurements are in inches, with centimeters in parentheses. Allow 2 to 4 cm (about 1 to 1.5 in) either way, because the pieces are measured by hand. To compare with UK, EU and AU sizing, use our leggings size chart.
How to wash and care for them
Follow the care label on your pair. In general:
- Wash at up to 40 C (104 F)
- Do not use bleach
- If you iron them, keep the iron on low, up to 110 C (230 F)

Frequently asked questions
What colors are available?

What are they made from?
They are made from a blend of cashmere and rayon. The knit feels soft and silky, with enough stretch to move with you.
Are they 100% cashmere?
No. They are a cashmere and rayon blend, which gives a soft, silky feel at a much lower price than pure cashmere.
