Dresses and skirts are a staple of my wardrobe and leg warmers have always helped me with that awkward transition from summer dresses to winter skirts and sweaters. In areas with long and drawn-out fall seasons, it’s great to have a lot of small accessories- like these leg warmers- to take the chill off a sunny day or to brighten a cool rainy one.

The delicate lace pattern and open stitches allow the fabric to breathe, and the blend of wool, alpaca, and bamboo in the yarn provides welcome insulation. Fancy enough to wear to Sunday dinner, you’ll want to keep these handy all year round.
