When the temperature drops, are you prone to wandering around your house with your doona wrapped around your body, trailing behind you on the ground? If that hits too close to home, then it sounds like you need to upgrade to a blanket hoodie, also known as a wearable blanket.

Now that cosy season has officially started, it’s time to swap your denim shorts for track pants and ugg boots. Autumn is that time of the year when you want to make hot chocolate from scratch and sit by the window as you watch the leaves change colour.

While the desire to lay in bed all day is particularly compelling, donning a blanket hoodie is a good way to keep busy while also keeping yourself warm and toasty. Especially when the weather turns dark and rainy.

Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite blanket hoodies that’ll keep you snug as a bug (and looking good doing it).

THE COMFY Original Wearable Blanket, $59.99

If you think you might’ve seen a blanket hoodie on TV before, this is the one you would’ve seen. First appearing on Shark Tank, THE COMFY made its big debut and quite literally warmed the world’s heart. Made from plush, fluffy sherpa, this wearable blanket comes with a pocket at the front to keep your hands toasty too. It’s also machine washable which is a big win in our books.
