Winter is on the horizon and temperatures have already begun their steep decline. If you haven't already, you should probably start preparing for some brisk temperatures 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 pumpkin spice lattes — even though all of those things are great. It's actually fuzzy 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 cozy 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, slippers and sandals. Plus, we shared a few favorites of our own.
