13 Best Blanket Hoodies 2023 For Your Cosiest Winter Yet

The best blanket hoodies – or wearable blankets, as they're often otherwise referred to – are not the most sartorially savvy purchase you'll ever make. There's no denying that one. While a Max Mara wool coat, logo-adorned piece of Loewe knitwear or a pair of winter boots from Jimmy Choo are all guaranteed to elevate your style credentials, a blanket with sleeves will sadly not. That said, we're on the cusp of a long, cold winter – one which, may we add, is also amidst a cost-of-living crisis – so warmth just might have to conquer all RN.

It would seem the rest of the nation agrees: our trusty sales data shows us that wearable blankets are moving from the wishlists to the checkouts of many GLAMOUR readers. Particularly on Cyber Weekend, when brands like Oodie are running Black Friday Mega Sales and reducing their bestselling oversized fleece hoodies by as much as 60%.

When we're not out and about donning trend-led staples from the hottest autumn/winter 2023 collections, we're quite clearly keen to be at home, snuggled up in a soft fleece wearable blanket in front of Strictly. Underneath the best electric blanket. And a duvet. With a mug of hot chocolate to keep our hands toasty. Needs must.

Wearable blankets – also known as blankets with sleeves or blanket hoodies – are ideal for keeping you comfy and warm when energy prices are too high to contemplate. In short, they're unisex, oversized fluffy hoodies with giant kangaroo pockets and sleeves which you can wear while working from home or relaxing on a Saturday night. And even the most trusted of retailers are releasing them (John Lewis, we're looking at you). Here are the hottest new arrivals.

1. Best blanket hoodie overall: Oodie

Size range: One size fits all. The Oodie is based on the size of a 6XL hoodie and fits most people.
Colours available: There are actually too many to list – we'd be here all day – with the brand bringing out new designs almost weekly. Plain colours include pink, black, navy and grey – while printed options include the avocado print poncho, tie-dye, cat print, love heart print, cloud-print and penguin print.
Made from: Soft flannel sherpa fleece.

Why we love it: Oodie – an Australian brand that stocks OG blankets with sleeves, loungewear and women's pyjama sets – are the brains behind the first-ever wearable blanket. And to be honest, they're still the best on the market.

Oodie describe their oversized blanket hoodies to be a like a “jumper crossed with a blanket, crossed with a cloud” – and each Oodie boasts an ultra-soft flannel fleece exterior, sherpa fleece interior and a giant pocket for hands (or snacks). They are 100% cruelty-free, can be purchased in bundles to save when you're shopping for the whole family, and you get free shipping (and free 30-day returns) with every order. They come in a plethora of colours for the whole family, but their original plain pink and grey designs have got the GLAMOUR stamp of approval. Look no further than here for the best hooded blankets galore.

2. Best borg blanket hoodie: M&S

Size range: Medium, large, kids.
Colours available: Cream, light grey and neutral.
Made from: 100% polyester, at least 30% of which is recycled.

Why we love it: Not quite as long as the Oodie but cosy all the same, M&S' teddy fleece hooded blanket for adults is the perfect companion for cosy nights in. It has been made from a snuggly faux fur which has an Ultra Warmth Heat Rating: M&S' rating for the chilliest of days, which means that this fabric is proven to show enhanced thermal performance helping you keep warm. Reduced energy bills, incoming. It feels soft to the touch, and it comes with a kangaroo pocket on the front which is the perfect size for fitting a hot water bottle.

7. Best heated blanket hoodie: Amazon

Colours available: Grey, pink, black, navy – each available with or without a heating power bank.
Made from: Flannel fleece.

Why we love it: Sure, you can fit a hot water bottle in the kangaroo pockets of most of the wearable blankets above, but what if your blanket hoodie came ready heated? This sherpa fleece lining design by OHS (as stocked at Amazon) does. It features three heat panels to keep your entire body warm during use. The triple heat setting is controlled with a button, and you can select low, medium or high heat. Simply plug in the battery pack and hold the button to turn it on.

8. Best printed hoodie blanket: Skinnydip

Size range: One size fits all.
Colours available: Pink and red.
Made from: Polyester.

Why we love it: Mood-boosting and so soft, Skinnydip has designed a range of hoodie blankets from their studio in London. They're cut super-soft polyester and each have an oversized pocket for stashing your snacks and phone away.

8. Best sherpa hoodie blanket: ONY

Size range: One size.
Colours available: 7 – purple, red, pink, blue, cream, grey, black.
Made from: Sherpa and flannel.

Why we love it: Rivalling more expensive options on the market, the ONY comes in under £40 at full price and is extra-thick in composition. Even for those 6ft, it's long enough to provide ample coverage whether you're curled up on the sofa or working from your desk – and the extra-long sleeves and front pocket make it practical. It's machine washable and comes in seven colourways – you just might not have full choice, since they sell-out so quickly.

10. Best black hoodie blanket: OneSnug

Size range: One size.
Colours available: 8 plain colour options (black, pink, grey, dark grey, navy, khaki, sky blue and red) plus a further 8 printed options.
Made from: Sherpa fleece.

Why we love it: Vegan, cruelty-free and a market-leader in the hoodie blankets world, OneSnug blankets are a more affordable alternative to the Oodie. And just as insulating. They come gift wrapped with a bow, which makes them the perfect gift, and they come with a storage bag (with most other options on the market don't). The breathable sherpa fleece interior feels like a warm hug on a cold winter evening, and the pockets are big enough to keep your hands toasty. We loved that it was machine washable and came with a returns guarantee.
