AIBU?
To buy an Oodie?

DH says they’re basically a form of contraception. I want to avoid using the heating at much as possible your feet will be freezing in the winter so I’m thinking of getting an Oodie and keeping a couple of blankets near the sofa in a box for on an evening?
Are Oodies really that vile?
Am I being unreasonable?

I hate snobbery, but all this talk of getting an Oodie is making me feel like a terrible snob!! Leggings under trousers and layers must be better surely? Aren't Oodies just made of polyester? Oh no I'm sounding worse now!
I do this and then put the oodie over the top. Maybe you wouldn’t catch Camilla or Kate in one (although as far as I can tell, most really posh people couldn’t care less what other people think of them) but since I’m not a multimillionaire who doesn’t have to worry about money, I’ll be warm now and worry about being downmarket later.

Has anyone got the primark version? I'm not sure if it's going to do the job of keeping me toasty this winter.
Yep, mine's a Primark and is so soft and warm. I can't compare to the real thing as I don't have one, but it took me through last Winter fine. underneath I wore a long sleeved thermal vest and fleece pj top and bottoms and fleece socks in (yes you guessed) fleece slipper socks. I'm getting a meno flush thinking about it now.

Kate and camilla can afford to keep their heating on though 😂

I've got a tesco one, not sure if it's as thick as the oodie/kuddly but its warm enough with a tshirt under and joggers and boot style slippers. I am a bit of an electrical storm after a day wearing, but I'm warm. And if it gets cold this year I will want to be warm.

I have one but I don't really get on with it because the cuffs are so long and so tight. I much prefer my ankle length knockoffs - I have two so I can wash and alternate. This thread reminds me that I need to get some better slippers.
Can I ask which ones have legs as I haven't seen any? The only ones I've seen are knee length and open like a dress. That's what puts me off bothering tbh as I know my legs will still be cold.

I have the cheap Amazon knock off one - Sienna? It’s brilliant if you work at home or for the evenings as you just tuck your legs up into it. It’s incredibly warm. My DDs both have them too. I couldn’t face spending £50 on a massive unsexy hoodie with bamboo eating pandas splattered over it but £15 seemed reasonable for staying cosy!
