Well, the cat’s out of the bag…the middle of winter is officially upon us and so is the spell of being a homebody.
With the days shorter and nights colder, you’re probably spending less time out-and-about and more time on the couch in your PJs binging Everything I Know about Love or the new season of Stranger Things.
But sometimes, a tracksuit set or throw just doesn’t cut it when there’s more than a slight nip in the air. Cue: the Oodie.
Almost a love child of a blanket, a hoodie and a dressing gown, Oodies and other hooded blankets have become cult buys of the past few winters. Usually made from flannel and sherpa fleece for luxe softness and warmth, one of these babies makes the perfect a-night-in accessory.
Below, we round up some of the best Oodies and Oodie alternatives for winter that are just cute as they are cosy.
