Alternatives to my oodie

6 replies

Five (!!!) years ago, my mum bought me an oodie (it’s like a blanket hoody hybrid) and I’m ashamed to admit I’ve worn it every single day at home. It’s finally worn through and I have to replace it. Could anyone suggest alternatives which mimic the feeling of an oodie, but are more presentable so I can answer the door/ pop to the shops?

I don’t use the hood element, so don’t need a hood. What I love is how plush and cozy it is. I’ve had fleeces before but not on this level of coziness. I love I can pull it over my knees but I’m only 5’1” so something shorter will probably look more presentable. I’m 39 and live in London, so something at least a tiny bit trendy would be nice. I have long dark hair. Budget £50ish.

Why not just get another Oodie? They do a smaller size now and allsorts of variations.

I want to know this too. I DO go to the corner shop in mine, but I'd like to not feel like quite such a slob.

I think it's a really big gap in the market, and the person who starts making this garment will make a fortune. I WFH too and would really like something I could wear on camera for a meeting.

such a good idea! Like oodie fabric but a nicer fit

I really like this one! If only it came in black. I might buy it in grey though, strictly for meetings on camera when WFH.
