These £22 M&S thermal leggings are perfect for winter: 'Extremely comfortable and warm'

Now that temperatures have dropped and the frosty air is building, there's no better winter wardrobe staple to turn to than a pair of leggings.

But not just any leggings, thermal leggings, particularly this affordable pair from our favourite high street stalwart, Marks & Spencer.

Costing just £22.50, they come with rave reviews from satisfied shoppers, with many saying they're a repeat buy from last year because they're simply *that* good.

Thermal High Waisted Leggings

Stay toasty on chilly winter days with this pair of thermal leggings.

£23 at Marks & Spencer

They're the perfect piece in your closet to wear during frosty morning dog walks, running errands on the weekends, or layered underneath dresses and skirts to keep you feeling toasty when walking to work.

Here's why we love them and think you will too.

Why we rate it

Firstly, thanks to a cotton-blend fabric, they're super soft and have a skinny fit which customers say are true to size.

The high waisted design is elasticated for maximum comfort and you won't have to put up with the dreaded feeling of the waistband rolling down every time you wear them.

This cosy pair of leggings are perfect for teaming with a chunky knit and big coat to keep warm. (Marks & Spencer)

£22.50 at Marks & Spencer

Available in sizes six to 20 in petite and long ranges, and size six to 22 in regular, you can shop them in Midnight Navy, Black and Charcoal.

But we suggest you shop fast, as some sizes are already selling out.
