As temperatures continue to plummet, we’re all on the hunt for ways to stay snuggly without hiking our energy bills up—and Oodie’s latest launch couldn’t have come at a better time. The Australian brand, famous for its ultra-cosy blanket hoodies, has released a Hello Kitty collection that’s almost too cute (and cosy) to resist.
From oversized hoodies and dressing gowns to sleep tees and blankets, each piece in the range is adorned with the iconic Japanese character. Prices start from £65, but if you’re tempted, you’ll need to be quick — a couple of items are already sold out.
If you’re unfamiliar with Oodie, the brand has become popular for its cosy loungewear, designed to make chilly nights more bearable. Oodie’s signature Oodie Originals are created from buttery-soft fleece and fully lined with sherpa, creating the ultimate cocoon of warmth.

Plus, their oversized fit and large hoods are ideal for curling up on the sofa or even braving a trip to the kitchen. Shopping editor Narin Flanders adores hers, saying: “When I put The Oodie on, I very quickly noticed the difference in how warm I felt — even sitting at the laptop without moving for an hour or two at a time.
“I’d normally suddenly feel really cold and have to stand up and make a brew, but instead, I was getting up to stretch my legs rather than because I couldn’t feel them anymore.”
As the Hello Kitty collection has just dropped, there aren’t any reviews. However, previous Oodie reviews are positive, with shoppers praising their warmth and comfort.
“Excellent quality and very warm (…) I would recommend it to anyone looking to save on heating,” said one online shopper. Another said it felt like they were “wearing a cloud.” They added: “This onesie is the comfiest, softest and cosiest thing you will ever wear. I instantly feel sleepy and relaxed when I put it on.”
However, not everyone felt the same. One shopper said, “I do love my onesie. The only thing is I wish it were a little bit thicker.” Another wearer said they loved their cosy Oodie, but the toggle fell off after one wear.
Still, whether you’re a die-hard Hello Kitty fan or want to add fun and colour to your loungewear collection, the new range is a winter must-have. But act fast — we reckon these kawaii creations won’t stay in stock for long.
Alternatively, Dunelm has a range of affordable oversized hoodies in various colours and materials. This snuggly lilac design with a soft wave pattern is our top pick—and it’s currently reduced to £12.60 from £18.
Fleece pyjamas are also a great option to get cosy at home. We’ve spotted this cute Fairisle Borg lounge set at Boux Avenue, now available with a brilliant 74% discount, bringing it down to £15 from £58.
