The Best Fuzzy Socks for Women

To help make the colder weather a little easier to tolerate, it is time to get yourself a pair of the most fluffy and fuzzy socks that will keep your feet toasty warm all winter long. Fuzzy socks are perfect for anyone who loves to be cozy and comfy at home but are especially useful for women who have feet that are always cold. They are perfect for wearing to bed if you get cold feet overnight and are a must for cold weather lounging.

Fluffy hosiery also makes a fantastic gift or stocking stuffer since they are small, relatively inexpensive, and are luxurious to wear. If you haven’t tried fuzzy socks yet, beware because once you try them, you’ll never want to take them off.

Nordstrom Butter Crew Socks

For a lot of women, the Nordstrom Butter Crew is the ultimate fuzzy socks. They are comfy, amazing quality, and not overly expensive. You can get this design in a range of pretty patterns and colors, and Nordstrom sometimes has distinctive holiday styles that are very cute.

The Butter Crew are only available in one size but can fit shoe sizes from 6 to 10.5. If you need a bigger size, the butter fabric is also available for men in a larger size (although they aren’t quite as soft as the women’s options for some reason). Somehow this design is slightly silkier and softer than other fuzzy options.

Nordstrom has a deal with this style where if you buy three, it brings the price down to about $10 a pair, which is pretty reasonable for the quality.  Butter Socks are also excellent to give as gifts because people love the feel and the look of this style. Overall this is a lovely design to lounge in or wear to bed on freezing nights since they are beautiful and thick and will keep your feet toasty warm.

Barefoot Dreams® CozyChic™ Socks

If you have had a chance to check out any of the super-soft Barefoot Dreams’ cardigans or blankets, you will be happy to learn that they also make socks out of the same plush CozyChic fabric. The Barefoot Dreams’ options are soft, warm, comforting, and will definitely keep your feet warm at night.

This CozyChic design is everything you’d imagine Barefoot Dreams socks to be; they are thick, luxurious, and come in attractive color options like charcoal, stone, and pink. These are one of the slightly more expensive fluffy choices available, but if you don’t mind splurging or are looking for a unique gift for someone who loves to lounge in luxury, these make a great option.

Barefoot Dreams styles feel great on your feet since the fabric is so soft and cozy. The design is somewhat slouchy, but it is made for lounging, so that is to be expected. The material doesn’t have any grips on the bottom, so it can be a little bit slippery if you are walking on hardwood floors.

UGG Pom Pom Fleece Lined Crew

UGG has several fuzzy styles that are worth checking out, and their Pom Pom Fleece Lined Crew is an excellent place to start. This fleece-lined design is slightly thicker than your average fuzzy sock; you could almost consider it a slipper sock but not quite since they don’t have any grips on the bottom.

The Pom Pom Fleece Lined Crew is super soft, cozy, and warm, but doesn’t get too warm. They are adorable in person and have a beautiful snuggly winter design that makes you just want to curl up in front of a fireplace. You can get them in a wide variety of elegant colors, and it comes with the added pom-poms for a stylish touch.

Unfortunately, this UGG design does seem to have a slight issue with the heel-wearing out somewhat quickly.

UGG Cozy Chenille Socks

UGG also has a chenille style that is known for being ultra-cozy. The UGG Cozy Chenille is a crew design that is soft, stretchy, and warm. It is one size fits most, but they are quite stretchy, so most women don’t have any issues with the fit. The UGG Cozy Chenille is known for being very comfy and outstanding quality.

This is another slightly pricey style, but they are UGG’s, so it isn’t a big surprise. You can wear this stylish design for lounging, or you can wear them out with boots since the elastic is pretty good at the top. The Cozy Chenille comes in a great color selection, and the fabric is marled, so it has a slight heather texture to it.

Most people find them very comfy to walk around the house and sleep in since they are warm yet let your feet breathe and not sweat.

HASLRA Premium Soft Warm Microfiber Fuzzy Socks

Amazon has several excellent fluffy styles; one of their best options is the HASLRA Premium Soft Warm Microfiber Fuzzy Socks. These are a budget-friendly choice that is perfect for around the house. They will keep your feet nice and warm, and you will love their super soft feel. This HASLRA  design is beautiful and thick and feels very plush.

You can wear these for sleeping at night, especially if your feet are always cold. They are offered in a vast assortment of colors and patterns, and you can either buy them as a set of three or a set of five. The material is fuzzy and won’t pull in the wash.

These don’t have any grips on the bottom and would probably slip on anything other than carpeting. For the price, this fuzzy style is fantastic quality.

Women’s MUK LUKS Patterned Cabin Slipper Socks

This MUK LUKS design is an excellent slipper sock option that will keep you cozy warm. Slipper socks are a good choice if you need to keep your feet warm, but you don’t love wearing slippers. These are a beautiful style that is inexpensive yet very durable.

These MUK LUKS have a lovely fluffy cuff and come in various winter patterns in an Acrylic knit. Since they are slipper socks, they are thicker than the other styles we listed above and also have the bottom grippers, which are essential with this type of fabric as, without them, they would be very slippery.

The MUK LUKS come in two sizes, either a small/medium or a large/extra large. They are an affordable price and come in a fantastic color assortment. One thing to note about this style is that it is two pieces, and the liner inside comes out, which makes it easier to clean.

What to look for:

Thickness- Some of the styles can feel super soft and fuzzy when you first get them, but after a couple of washes, they lose a lot of the fluff and get somewhat thin. It tends to happen more with the budget products, but it also occurs with higher-end styles. To avoid losing thickness, ensure you follow all washing instructions, especially if they are intended to be air-dried. The dryer can be tough on these types of fabrics.

The other thing to consider is whether your feet tend to overheat. Some of the very thick options can get pretty warm, so you may want to look for fabrics that are breathable yet thick and warm- the UGG Pom Pom style would be an example of that.

Durability– Another issue that can be a problem with fluffy fabric is the bottom wears out and gets holes really fast. If you are looking for outstanding quality, you could try the Nordstrom Butter socks or the Muk Luk slipper sock that both have reputations for being very durable.

Height– Crew length designs are the most common length in fuzzy socks, but you can get a few ankle or knee-length styles. Many of the fuzzy styles are also designed as a lounging style, so they tend to have a slightly looser fit and are slightly more slouchy. The elastic at the top won’t necessarily keep them firmly in place like it would with a regular sock.

Grips-Grips or non-slip rubber pieces on the bottoms of the hosiery can have pros and cons to them. Primarily the grips will stop you from slipping, but if you plan on wearing the product with shoes, they become uncomfortable.  If you are worried about slipping but love the soft feeling, you could try a slipper-like design such as  Snoozies that has all of the comforts of cozy socks but also have grips on the bottom.

Sizing– Many of these types of socks are one size fits all or offer minimal sizing options, so getting a great fit can sometimes be a bit of an issue, but generally, fuzzy socks are very stretchy, so they can accommodate a wide range of foot sizes.

Cleaning– Most styles can be machine washed and air-dried. Some styles are a little bit delicate, so when cleaning, you may want to wash in a mesh bag to avoid them catching on zippers or buttons of other items.
