Beat the freeze: These fleece-lined leggings are 'amazingly flattering' and only $18

I have zero tolerance for the cold, and am shivering just thinking about the freezing winter temperatures to come. Luckily I have found a secret to staying truly, deeply warm — my fleece-lined Iuga leggings. (In fact, I have them on right now!) Last year, I lived in these top-sellers from late October through early April and stayed blissfully cozy. But these high-waisted leggings have another trick up their pant leg — they keep everything looking slim, trim and sucked in, thanks to light compression and a hidden tummy-control panel. You can grab a pair for yourself right now for just $18 on Amazon because of October Prime Day!

Why is this a good deal?

At a mere $18 at the moment (down from $21), you'll be saving a sweet 15% off these snuggly leggings, which might not sound like a lot but they are actually the cheapest price they've ever been. And with temperatures falling swiftly, we doubt the price will go lower as we get further into winter. It's a good idea to stock up on a pair (or two) of these warmers before we hit the "Big Freeze."

Why do I need these?

If you've resolved to work exercise back into your life — especially with New Year's resolutions right around the corner — these supportive yet stretchy leggings are the perfect winter active wear. Great for random acts of yoga or, if you're like me, rolling around with kids and pets. Also, if you are not like me, great for long runs. They keep everything high and tight!

Oh, wait! Did I mention these fleece-lined beauties have deep pockets? The only days I don't misplace my iPhone are the days I'm wearing these. And my phone fits fully and securely inside the pocket and never slips out when I bend over or go to the loo. Attention: Pockets are much deeper than they appear in photos. Seriously!

And these leggings are durable. The two pairs I picked up last year are still in excellent shape, but with the current drop in temps, I'm going back for a third. (Again, I live in these.) See, I grew up romping around the Deep South, barefoot and in tank tops year-round. When I moved north, I resented bulky, restrictive winter clothing. Now, I'm finally getting the hang of this dressing-for-winter thing. These svelte little leggings let me move unencumbered and stay warm!

What reviewers say

Some 7,800 five-star Amazon reviewers (myself included) are gaga for these Iugas. "These pants have an amazingly flattering fit," wrote one five-star fan. "They are warm for winter walks outside and are still sleek. The warmth doesn’t cause them to make the legs bulky. They are my new favorite pant."

Other shoppers are equally thrilled with how they keep out the cold and stay firmly secured as they suck everything in: "These are fantastic!" wrote a shopper. "I’m a runner, and with the temps falling in New England, I wanted to find a warmer pair of leggings. I’m a mom of two and prefer something high-waisted, and pockets are a must ... The best part is they don’t move when I run. No constantly hiking them up. The first day I had them, I ran a 10K and did another 5K today and just love them so much."

A fellow superfan wrote: "I pretty much only take them off to wash them so I can put them back on. I wear them constantly. They're warm without being bulky. ... If you're on the fence, JUST BUY THE DAMN PANTS! I'm also obsessed with the pockets on both sides. They fit my iPhone with room to spare, and it's never slipped out even when I'm sitting, crawling around playing with my dogs, etc. I'm so spoiled now that I'm replacing all my other yoga pants with ones that have pockets."

One thing to note if you're on the shorter side, like this reviewer: "My only complaint is that they are quite long and bunch a little around my ankles, but that’s my height’s problem, not the leggings." That said, they did call them "great leggings!"

And for even more fleecy goodness, this fuzzy hoodie is another cold-weather fave that's also on super sale today.

“It's so fluffy!” raved a fan. “It fits exactly the way I wanted it to — a bit baggy but not too huge where I'm swimming in it. The material is so nice, my dogs have been wanting to cuddle with me since I've worn it. Definitely will buy more in different colors.”
