As far as I'm concerned, the best slippers for women will make dark mornings and cold days just a little easier. Dressing cosy goes a long towards beating back the winter chill and that starts with the feet.

That said, slippers are a worthwhile investment all year round, as much of a wardrobe staple as jeans, silk shirts, cashmere jumpers, camel coats and trainers.

Whether you're after a a snug pair to wear with your favourite dressing gown or loungewear, something stylish to elevate an outfit for house parties, or even slippers you can leave the house in (think Russel & Bromley's clog loafers or Max Mara's camel hair slippers), I've found a style to suit every scenario.

There are open-toe slippers for those who don't want full-on coverage or want to show off their pedicures all-year-round. There are shearling-lined slip-ons for those - like me - who have perpetually cold feet. Or for those with the opposite problem, slippers in breathable fabrics that will keep feet dry and cool.

As for styles, I've found some classic suede and faux-fur moccasins and mules, clogs that give Normcore vibes, as well as some more lavish designs in satin and velvet finishes.

In terms of budget, there is something for everyone. You'd be surprised how many designers have entered the slipper arena, with extravagant designs. Yes, they are on the pricier end of things, but when you think about it, the cost-per-wear factor is definitely advantageous.

With that in mind, enjoy some guilt-free shopping with my pick of the best slippers for women, available to shop right now - and while some of them are a little bit pricier, this is reflected in their quality and durability. I always splurge on sheepskin slippers and I've found they last me a good couple of years, wearing them every single day.

She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
