Winter skirt pants for work: Everlast fleece-lined bootcut pants

What felt comfortable when I wore them as a winter work outfit?

Every winter, I find myself looking for pants that are both warm and neat, and this time I tried Everlast Women's Fleece-Lined Skirt Bootcut Pants. Because the skirt and pants are joined into one piece, they look as though they have been layered separately while still being easy to put on.

I do not usually wear winter pants that look bulky or overly sporty, but with the skirt covering the bootcut line, these felt like they took away some of the concern about showing the pant line.

How did I style the black skirt pants?

The color I chose was black. As a basic color, it was easy to pair with tops and nice to wear for a clean look. There is a slit at the back of the skirt, so even when I was walking quickly during school drop-offs and pick-ups, I could move without feeling restricted.

How did the bootcut and skirt layer feel on my body?

The subtly flared bootcut line and the skirt wrapping the top made the overall silhouette look more put together. Lately, I had felt self-conscious about clothes that reveal the pant line, but these skirt pants eased that worry to some extent, so I wore them with confidence. I also liked that they were comfortable without looking only like sweatpants.

Were the fleece lining and stretch enough for winter?

These use nylon-spandex fabric with brushed fleece processing across the entire inside. The lining felt soft when I wore them, and they were not uncomfortable even on days when I wore them for a long time, such as for work, picking up my child, or weekend outings.

For cold commutes, I usually make sure to wear thick leggings or an inner layer, but these pants felt warm even on their own. The fabric has stretch, so there was less of a constricting feeling when sitting down, standing up, or moving around.

What are the design and color options?

The woven label made a minimal accent, and the unfussy details meant I could use them for work outfits too. They were as comfortable as activewear, but gave an overall neat impression.

They come in two colors: black and brown. I chose black for its versatility, but I think the brown would also go well with winter coats or padded jackets, so I would like to try it next time.

How did the elastic waistband and sizing feel?

There was a range of sizes, so it was easy to choose one that suited my body. Compared with pants I had worn before that felt tight and uncomfortable, the elastic waistband did not squeeze too much and the pants felt comfortably fitted. Even after wearing them for a long time, my stomach did not hurt or feel uncomfortable.

Who are these winter daily pants suited for?

I often wear comfortable clothes when I go to work, and these skirt pants were great for looking put together while still feeling comfortable. I have been wearing them often to work lately, styling them with padded jackets or knits as a winter daily look.
