The best slippers for women for cosy feet all year round
Cosy season is here
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.
Best slippers for women to buy now:
These are a great affordable option if you are looking for slippers lined with real sheepskin.
You can't beat a pair of slip-on Mocassins for comfort and ease. These come lined with a Sherpa interior to keep your feet warm all winter.
Gucci's shearling-lined slippers were an instant hit when Alessandro Michele created them in 2015, and they're still going strong today, so now's the time to invest. Definitely a pair to wear both indoors and out.
These leather mules are so stylish I would absolutely wear them outside the house. They are shearling-lined, so they'll ensure my naked feet are kept warm even on the coldest winter's day.
A new style for Just Sheepskin, the Kara, like the other slippers in the collection, features Patented DREAMstep® technology, a gel-infused memory foam layer that creates a long lasting fully customised fit, plus it boasts the JUST Guard®, a water-resistant treatment to ensure your sheepskin stays looking fabulous. I personally own these and I am obsessed with them.
If Carrie Bradshaw were to wear slippers, these would be it. A low-heeled version of Manolo's iconic 'Hangisi' heels, these too have been made in Italy from lustrous satin and topped with the brand's signature crystal-embellished buckle.
Stylish and versatile, these are a true hybrid—working just as well with nightwear as loungewear and daywear. In a timeless camel colourway, metal buckles on the two straps ensure you can adjust them for the perfect fit. I've had the same pair of The White Company slippers for years, so they are definitely worth the money.
Birkenstock collaborates with Tekla for these powder off-white Nagoya clogs, which bring you minimalist apres-ski vibes.
I cannot recommend Zara slippers enough as they are so affordable and such good quality—and this pair will transport you straight to a cosy ski lodge with their super fluffy finish. These slippers make me feel like I'm staying at a fancy hotel when, in reality, I'm sat on my sofa.
Crafted in Italy, these chic Deji Studios slides are made from wool and feature a rubber grip flat sole, with a super chic finish. Kind to your feet and comfortable to wear, they're crafted from naturally breathable and antibacterial Australian wool. These are the kind of slippers that are so stylish, you'll want to wear them outside the house, too.
Prada's black loafers are crafted from the signature nylon which was first introduced by Miuccia Prada in the 1980s, that can be seen throughout some of the label's most iconic designs, including backpacks, ankle boots and shoulder bags. An extravagant purchase for sure, but given that it keeps selling out, you might regret not taking the plunge.
Treat your feet to the effortless comfort of these soft suede moccasin slippers. The soles are textured for extra grip and a neat bow on the toes adds the finishing touch—did someone say grandma chic? Perfect for those chillier evenings, this is a study pair of slippers that will last for years to come.
Featuring 100% premium wool, these slippers are every bit as cosy as they look. They'll be sure to keep you warm throughout winter with a generous lining and super fluffy finish. Plus, the slip-on style means that they're super easy to slip on and off as you go about your day.
If you're after a luxurious slipper, these Christian Louboutin slides are an iconic choice and will keep you cosy while being incredibly stylish. With a suede outer and a wool-fleece interior, they're sure to keep you toasty. I love the slingback style too—very on-trend for autumn/winter.
There's a reason UGG slippers are such bestsellers, such is their quality that they last forever. This starfish pink shade is perfect for anyone who wants to try something a little different, though the chestnut version is also a total classic. Not sure about either of those? There are a total of 11 shades to choose from.
