What do you wear at home to keep warm

[Wherecanitbe]

I am looking for suggestions for what to wear when at home, to keep warm during the autumn/winter months.

I don't have a huge amount of money to spend, so cheap and cheerful ideas please.

Also, it needs to be comfortable and something that I wouldn't be embarrassed to answer the door in!

My friend has this - it's amazing. It's not flattering by any means and there are cheaper versions out there (which I bought) but they are not comparable at all. We're small in height and can curl up inside it it's so amazingly wonderful. I feel I should be on commission!!

They're expensive but my Oodie is seriously the best thing I've ever bought. Like PP said you can get ones like it like the Sienna online.

My heated blanket was from Aldi £30 last year. Soooooo worth it.

Rules out dressing gown then!

why?

I brought a thermal vest and leggings from Asda last year, which were really toasty. Wore them under my normal clothes.

Cashmere wrist warmers, amazing!

Indoor scarves are the way forward
I admit to owning a lovely posh cashmere pashmina that is practically stalkless to me from October onwards ( and worth every penny DH paid for it )
Decent slippers

A mens hoodie, they tend to be made out of much better quality, thick material. totes toasties on my feet.

Or a big fluffy dressing gown and I will answer the door in it!

2 pair of socks: cotton socks and wool socks. Cotton long sleeve T-shirt and fleece, fleecey trousers and cotton leggings underneath,

Fingerless gloves when working from home most of the year it stops my wrists rubbing on the edge of my desk and being sore too.
Fleece PJ bottoms a big cardigan and a normal tee shirt when working from home.
I always buy good quality socks I find the better quality ones are warmer.

I wear M and S long sleeve thermal vests. They have been a game changer.

I’m so confused by this 😂 A long sleeve vest is just…a long sleeve top, right? I even googled them to see if there was something especially vest like about them but alas, couldn’t find them.

I bought us all an Oodie last year and they were worn everyday by all of us. I had to put the heating down so we could wear them constantly.

Pre Oodie was a dressing gown.

I wear a vest and a long-sleeved merino top under whatever else I’m wearing.

Works like a dream for me, and isn’t obvious that I’m rugged up.

And totally agree - wearing dressing gowns and throws around the house is so unappealing and impractical.

I Wear leggings and a t shirt or vest . My daughter always feels cold so the house is far too hot for me , but she pays the bills so not my choice .

Answering the door is not something i have to do, so i can wear anything!

I have soft pj pants from primark, along with hoodies and thick socks, and a hot water bottle and a fleece blanket.

I actually can’t wait!

I also have the ankle fluffy slipper from primark. They are really warm and actually really durable on the bottom too

[quote MaMelon]Oh - I think I may have found it. Is it the Relaxwell by Dreamland? www.argos.co.uk/product/7074572?clickSR=slp:term:heated%20throw:1:37:1[/quote]
Yep that's the one I have too! In pink

I’d like to invest in an oodie, put it on and never take it off.

Vest, then close fitting long-sleeved t-shirt (Primark do good ones which will be in the shop in next few weeks), then a fleece. Wear a scarf too - just a decorative cotton one from the supermarket will keep you warm. On the bottom, woolly tights under trousers/midi skirt. Could wear leggings over the woolly tights if really cold. Fingerless gloves good too. Thick socks, slippers.

Big fluffy dressing gown over clothes. Whip it off on the way to answering the door if you feel embarrassed. But I don't bother personally.

A big scruffy old men's cardigan from Matalan.

I got an Oodie for Christmas. I get really hot in mine and TBH it's a bit like wearing a fat suit so not very practical when trying to do stuff like cooking etc. But I do love it when I'm just sitting on the sofa.

Wearing layers close to the skin helps me. So leggings with a vest or t-shirt. Then a jumper on top.

I like Lucy Locket casual leggings, they're made from a really soft and cosy fabric. I work from home and last winter lived in those with fluffy socks and hoodie.

I got a roll neck fleece poncho last year. Kept me very toasty!

A hat, warm socks, and concentrate on your core so a nice warm vest works the best.

You can whip the hat off if you need to answer the door.

Sticking a fleece onesie (bought a size or 2 too large) on over your usual loungewear is great for keeping all the heat in. I buy them in plain colours and usually then pop an oversized hoodie over the top so I can answer the door embarrassment free!
