About this deal

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.

There is a lot of debate on the Mumsnet forums about how to keep warm this winter, and blanket hoodies have been a popular point of discussion. A sherpa blanket or throw is made from sherpa fabric; a 100 per cent synthetic material designed to look and feel like wool from a sheep. While it's designed to look and feel like sheepskin or shearling (it's often referred to as faux sheepskin), it comes at a fraction of the price. It's named after the Sherpa people in Nepal, indigenous to the Himalayan region. Known for their rich culture, superior mountaineering and trekking skills, and extreme endurance for high altitudes, a great number of the Sherpa community lead explorers up the steep slopes of Mount Everest. Sherpas wear their traditional clothing, lined with sheep and lamb’s wool to fend off the extreme cold.

Now that the cold winter weather is truly here, you’ll no doubt be looking for ways to keep warm and cosy without having to rely too much on heating your whole home, especially when you’re only in one room. And that’s when investing in something like a super snug sherpa blanket is a great idea. It’s a great material for trapping in heat, which is why so many blankets and throws are of the sherpa variety these days. This heat trapping quality also makes it ideal for snuggling up with on a cold winter's day or night. 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. Blanket hoodies (or hooded blankets) are basically a jumper with a large hood that doubles up as a blanket or, in more simple terms, they're oversized hoodies. They're not only functional (keeping you super warm) but they can be stylish and cosy too. Blanket hoodies are a versatile garment for your wardrobe and they're perfect for lounging on the sofa on cold days, wearing after a gym session, taking on a camping trip or keeping the wind chill off at the beach. What material is best for a blanket hoodie? The modern day sherpa fleece is much easier to care for than traditional wool and is typically made from cotton wool or polyester, or a polyester/acrylic blend. It has reversible sides: the underside is soft, fleecy and textured, designed to imitate sheep’s wool, while the top tends to be smoother, often with a suede-like feel.

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.
