Winter may have officially started about one month ago, but freezing temperatures are just now beginning their steep, glacial decline. If you haven't already, you should probably start preparing for even colder conditions over the next few months. I broke out my favorite cold weather accessory as soon as I felt that first chill in the air. No, it's not candles or jewelry or even scarves — even though all of those things are great. It's actually my coziest socks!
I would wear fuzzy socks all year long if it didn't mean sweating profusely during the warmer months. I've amassed quite the collection of these cuddly socks and slippers over the years — and I look forward to expanding it every time a new winter rolls around.
Whether you're a seasoned warm footwear aficionado or are just looking to stock up, we scoured the internet for some of the best-reviewed fuzzy socks and slippers. Plus, we shared a few favorites of our own!
