Can anyone recommend a really soft, loose-fitting comfy hoodie or sweatshirt?

Hoping MN can help me out. I’m currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment so spending a lot of time at home, in the garden etc. can’t really risk going to shops as immunity is very low, so I need to buy online. I’m struggling to concentrate a bit and have a bit of chemo fog I think.
I have discovered that I don’t own a single comfy hoodie and am hankering after one!
I just want something super soft, generous fit (pretty sure I’ve put on weight) , easy to get on and off but NOT one of those fleecy long ones that go down to your knees! Can anyone recommend anything?

ASOS does oversized/'boyfriend' hoodies and sweatshirts that are perfectly roomy - the ones that are 100% cotton are best and are incredibly soft and thick.

I've got this Borg lined hoodie from salt rock, it's lovely and warm and soft.
Good luck with the treatment.

Have a look at Nap Loungewear. Lots of lovely ones on there.

Hi @Toughie

Thought I’d say hello as I’m also having chemotherapy and quite fancy some loose clothes too. M&S have got some nice looking lounge wear at the moment.

I know what you mean about it not being good for weight loss - I’m only 2 weeks in and already feel like I’ve put on weight. I always assumed people lost weight if they were having cancer treatment. It’s particularly galling as I did really well on Weight watchers at the beginning of the year and lost a stone. 😥

Anyway, good luck with your treatment x

Hollister do nice soft hoodies . Hope you are feeling better soon .

I hope you are feeling better soon.

Sweaty Betty do very soft, comfortable hoodies. Lots are long line as they’re designed to be worn with leggings. I’ve got a really old one that is still going strong.

I have a lovely longline hoody from Passenger. It's open fronted and feels halfway between a hoody and a dressing gown! So cosy. Hope you're feeling better soon.

I love Land’s End serious sweats , especially the mens. I’m a 16 and a mens medium is a good fit. I’m quite tall with a long torso and I always find women’s tops too short.

Good luck with the chemo @Toughie - I’m sure you’ll live up to your username! DM finished 8 cycles last week. She also wanted a hoodie to slop around in. I wish you the best of luck for your treatment.

I originally bought this in Large for my son but ended up keeping it as its the most softest cozy hoodie I've ever had... and quite trendy for an old bird like me lol. My son approves!

M&S longline hoodie

Sizing isn't generous so you'd want 18 or even 20 if you're a 16/18. I have three in different colours and live in them at home and also when out walking.

I live in my River Island zip up hoodies which are oversized and long. There are a few on there as well as sweatshirts, including this soft pink one

Sorry I’ve only just come back to this! Been feeling a bit rough these last two days. Thanks for all these suggestions, I’ve started to look at them all and it’s a pleasant distraction ! Who knew hoodie shopping could be so entertaining!
Also, thanks for all your get well wishes. Feeling quite low today but it’s surprising how complete strangers can lift your spirits.
Good luck to GettingMarriedAgain with your treatment. Let’s both hope it all works!
Now to look at some more hoodies …
