Fluffy “oodie” that is warm and not too oversized

7 replies

Notcontent · 09/10/2023 14:11

I know this is not exactly stylish but…
I want to get something warm for teen dd to wear while she is sitting around and studying but that can also be comfortably worn around the house - so not a huge oversized oodie or heated blanket.

Last winter we looked but all the “oodie” style tops are so incredibly bulky. We also ordered a couple of onesies but they were all really thin and terrible quality.

Any ideas? Bonus points for something aesthetically pleasing!!!!

Can I piggyback on this thread to ask for suggestions that might suit an elderly parent too? Oodies and their ilk are just too oversized and bulky for someone 5 feet tall. So any suggestions for a slimmed-down Oodie style garment, with similarly warm fabric, would be gratefully received!

You don't mention if you've considered a dressing gown. This one is so comfy, I found oodies a little too warm but this is like wearing a fluffy blanket and ankle length.

I'm looking for the same thing! I had a lovely fluffy hoodie from Sainsbury's years ago, but I'm not keen on this year's colours https://tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/product/tuc142896261

Might be what you are looking for though.

I had one from Dunelm but it didn't wash well at all.

Thanks @swimona. I had thought of dressing gowns but the wrap-over/belt combo isn't ideal. Need something like a housecoat (zip or buttons).

Thanks to your M&S link I've seen these:

I don't know if the fabric is as warm as an Oodie, but at least they're available in different sizes.

The M&S Borg hoodie is the closest I have found so far too !

I think there is a gap in the market.

I have just been given this one from Matalan. No hood but is nice and warm and more compact than my other one.
