The best oodies for surviving winter

It's a hoodie and blanket in one. Genius! - by Olivia Hart
  • 02 Jun 2022

Keeping active during winter is a tough task, especially when you'd rather cosy up under a blanket on the sofa. 

WATCH: How to stay active and happy during winter

Electric, weighted, and wool are just some of the best types of blankets for winter, but none are as convenient as an Oodie.

Oodies are wearable, oversized hoodie blankets that you can throw on first thing and get your day started without the winter cold interrupting your morning. There's no need to take them off either, since they also pass for a hoodie (making them completely Zoom-meeting-friendly). They’re the ultimate cosy, laid back attire for a day at home, whether that’s a day of productivity or relaxing.

Featuring soft lining, a hood, and deep front pockets, oodies are a step up from pyjamas but blur the lines between sleepwear and lounge wear. Move seamless (and warmly) from the office chair to the dinner table to couch to bed.

Wear it on repeat through wintertime and you can even match with your kids or pals. Here are our top picks for the best Oodies and hooded blankets available...

1. Oodie, $109 for two (currently buy one get one free)

Starting with the original Oodie, this cosy fleece promises to be longer than its competitors and is made cruelty-free with high quality material, flannel fleece on the outside and Sherpa fleece inside. Pick one up in an adorable print featuring the likes of avocados, sloths, corgis and unicorns, or take a gamble and grab the family, twin or mega pack for your next group holiday or camping trip.
