Layering your weekend casual wear indoors

Cute weekend outfits to wear indoors can look lovely and feel oh-so-cosy, but they’re not always as warm as you might like them to be. So what can you do when the chill starts to set in? If you don't want to whack the heating up because of a) the cost and b) the fact that you might soon start to overheat, what can you do?

Layering is key when it comes to keeping warm and toasty, and the great news is that you can buy one go-to garment to snuggle up in during the weekend, after work or when taking a winter break somewhere special.

The truth is, it doesn’t matter what you wear when you have a hooded blanket hanging up handy, ready to grab whenever you need it. This oversized hoodie has a large front pocket to fit everything but the kitchen sink in, and you can cuddle up alone, with a child or pet or with your special someone while you’re wearing it.

What else do you need to keep warm and make sure those heating bills stay lovely and low this winter? Shop our range of supremely stylish and ultra comfortable hooded blankets for men, women and kids.
