Winter skirt pants for movement: Everlast Women's Bootcut Pants

What is the design of these winter fleece-lined skirt pants like?

These are the Everlast Women's Fleece-Lined Skirt Bootcut Pants that I wore often as an everyday piece this winter. Rather than the sporty feel of regular fleece-lined pants, I chose them because I liked the layered skirt-and-pants design.

On the outside, they look like a neat A-line skirt, while bootcut pants are attached underneath. The slit at the back of the skirt made walking and climbing stairs feel less restrictive. I also liked how the skirt naturally covered my leg line.

How were the brushed lining and stretch for winter outings?

The lining is brushed nylon-spandex fabric, so it felt warm when I wore it. With the skirt blocking the wind once and the fleece-lined pants adding another layer, this combination suited me well since I get cold easily.

The built-in inner pants are stretchy bootcut pants, so they were comfortable even when sitting, and I never felt tightness around my knees after wearing them for a long time. My lower body did not feel cold when I wore them at work, went out with my baby, or drove for long periods.

What shoes did I style them with?

The bootcut silhouette made them easy to pair with sneakers, ankle boots, and long boots. Of black and brown, I chose black because it was easy to match with winter clothes and could also create a more polished look. The woven label in the center of the skirt also looked like a subtle accent rather than too much.

What kinds of days were they good for?

• They were good for work outfits and everyday outings.
• They were comfortable for outings that involved movements such as holding my baby or bending down.
• I wore them when I needed lower-body warmth outdoors, such as on winter walks, camping trips, or light hikes.
• I chose them on days when I wanted to naturally cover my thighs and hip line.
