The new loungewear essential.

One thing's for sure, the UK's craze for blanket hoodies isn't going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, the uber comfy style is only getting better in 2023, with fresh designs made especially for travel, and chic long-lined numbers guaranteed to up your loungewear game.

The best blanket hoodies are designed to keep you toasty and warm, no matter how chilly it gets outside. Our favourite styles are crafted from soft fleece and lined with fluffy sherpa, with cuffed sleeves and drawstring hoods to trap the heat. But there's a whole array of styles out there to suit every mood and budget – from chic cream versions at UGG to jazzy printed styles and bargain buys over on Amazon.

The secret to the super comfortable fit? It's all down to the oversized shape of blanket hoodies. The best versions have generously wide sleeves, trapeze silhouettes or are poncho shaped to make them super easy to throw over anything: pyjamas, cashmere matching sets, you name it.

As well as investing in one for yourself, blanket hoodies also make fabulous gifts and they're usually one-size-fits-all, making it that bit easier to choose the right fit for your loved one.

Suitably convinced you need a blanket hoodie in your life – we thought as much. Keep scrolling to see our 14 favourite styles to shop now.

The lining of the famous Oodie is crafted from the softest sherpa while the outside is designed to be a touch more durable with flannel fleece. We also love the XXL pocket that is big enough to house everything you could possibly need for a cosy night on the sofa.

M&S' poncho-style blanket hoodie is actually unisex; and there is a kids' version too, so you can kit out the whole family at once. This number is more blanket than hoodie, but the oversized shape means you can wear it over chunky jumpers or squeeze a hot water bottle underneath for the ultimate cosy night in.

If you're looking for a more fashion forward blanket hoodie, UGG's snuggly cream iteration is as chic as it is cosy. This long-line version features a split hem for ease of movement, cuffed sleeves to keep you warm and a handy kangaroo pouch for your lounging must-haves.

Wearing John Lewis' oversized blanket hoodie is basically like getting a comforting hug – and who doesn't want that after a hard day's work? We particularly like the drop-shoulder silhouette and elasticated cuff design on this number.

Loved by thousands, The Oodie has gained a reputation as the brand to go-to for blanket hoodies. This tie-dye style is crafted from the same cosy fleece as the original version, but has been designed with travel in mind: it has an in-built neck pillow ideal and rolls into a handy shoulder bag. Genius.

Less of a hoodie and more of a wearable blanket, you can choose to wear this teddy style from Etsy like a dressing gown, or turn the jacket round and wear the sleeves at the front for ultimate cosiness. Either way, we guarantee you'll never want to take it off.

If you're worried about spillages, we advise opting for blanket hoodie in a darker shade – tea stains are far less likely to show up on this charcoal number than a cream coloured alternative, that's for sure.

If in doubt of where to buy the best blanket hoodies, Amazon is always a safe bet. The e-tailer has so many oversized options, there's truly something for everyone. If you're looking for an extra long iteration, Sienna's sherpa-lined style is just the ticket.

How sweet is this heart-printed blanket hoodie from Simply Be? We love the cosy sherpa-lined hood, contrast cuffs and pom-pom drawstring detailing.

With over 500 five-star reviews on its website, Dunelm's oversized hoodie is a real winner. And at just £16, it's a great bargain, too. We love the soft teddy fabric and generous kangaroo pocket that's big enough to fit all your essentials for a cosy night in – snacks, the remote control, we could go on. This style is also available in grey, pink, cream and khaki, if the charcoal black isn't for you.

We love Dreamscene for its cosy throws, irresistibly soft bedding and snuggly loungewear. The brand's got quite a few blanket hoodies on its website, but this tartan version with its contrast cuffs and sherpa-lined hood is our all time favourite.

ONY is another brand loved for its oversized blanket hoodies – and we can see why. The trapeze shape and slimmer-fitting top half ensures heat is trapped in, which makes this cream number even more cosy.

If you're not into neutral loungewear looks, check out Pretty Secrets' hot-pink blanket hoodie. The vibrant cheetah print and glitter drawstring toggles are perfect for those who love a maximalist look.

You can easily slip this blanket hoodie on and off thanks to its unique zip up design. It also comes in one size only, so is ideal for sending as a gift to a friend or loved one.
