WINTER has well and truly arrived and it\u2019s freezing outside so it\u2019s time to wrap up warmly \u2013 and what better way to wrap up than with one of the best hooded blankets around this season.<\/p>\n

This relatively recent phenomenon is now everywhere and it has rapidly become a wardrobe must-have for everybody, no matter what their age. A hooded blanket is also a supplement to central heating \u2013 once you don one of these you can afford to turn down your heating while still staying toasty warm.<\/p>\n

As the name suggests, the best hooded blankets sit somewhere between a giant wearable hoodie and a cosy throw.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re typically made from thick, soft fleece and come in an almost ridiculously large size \u2013 think down to your knees, and wide enough to fit three of you comfortably inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most usually have a front pocket for keeping hands warm (or holding snacks) and, unlike some actual blankets, they\u2019re also machine-washable.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s hooded blankets are a world away from embarrassingly old, greying loungewear you wouldn\u2019t be seen dead in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s perfectly acceptable \u2013 dare we say, almost cool \u2013 to snap a selfie swathed in fabric covered in pictures of avocados, cartoon kittens or Yoda (we admit that we haven\u2019t built up the courage to wear them out past the front door yet though\u2026)<\/p>\n

Australian brand Oodie is perhaps the well-known brand, going viral on social media for its huge number of bold designs, from chicken nuggets to chihuahuas.<\/p>\n

The high street soon clocked on to their appeal, and now you can find almost every major clothing retailer selling them, including Marks & Spencer, John Lewis and JD Williams.<\/p>\n

They may also help to save you money on your heating bill this winter too, as heating the body is always a cheaper option than heating the home; ideal if you work from home or spend long periods of time bingeing Netflix on the sofa.<\/p>\n
