With the cost of living crisis continuing and energy bills at an all time high, lots of people are looking for alternative ways to keep cosy as temperatures drop. And one way to do so is slipping in an Oodie.

But it is safe to say an Oodie is your best bet when choosing another layer to cosy up. Even Martin Lewis recommends investing in one of these enormous wearable blanket hoodies to keep yourself warm this winter!
