As someone who works from home, I'm always on the hunt for ways to stay warm without having to crank up the heating. I have a collection of cosy oversized hoodies, but it's fair to say that Jim Jam The Label's has won me over the most so far thanks to its blanket-like design and snug zipped neck.
The Oversized Grey Borg Hoodie is priced at £38 and is crafted from one of the softest fabrics I've ever come across. The first time I pulled the hoodie over my head, I immediately felt myself relax - I plan to live in it all winter.
The garment is a one-size-fits-all design and features elasticated wrists, ensuring the sleeves won't roll up - a particularly useful design feature for me while I'm busy typing at my desk. The hoodie falls above the knee, keeping your lower half warm and giving the sensation of being wrapped in a blanket.

What really stands out about Jim Jam The Label's hoodie is the neckline. It boasts a side zip that runs down one shoulder, allowing you to wear the neck open or zipped right up for extra cosiness.
While I'm working, I keep the zip partially open, however, on cold evenings when I'm snuggled up on the sofa, I'll zip the neck right up to keep the lower part of my face and ears warm. I was slightly unsure about the hoodie being one size, but due to its oversized relaxed design, I believe most people will find it perfectly comfortable.

Jim Jam The Label)The Oversized Grey Borg Hoodie is so warm and cosy that I found I didn't need the heating on at all when I wore it for a full day and evening. One thing to note is that, despite the garment being called a hoodie, it has no hood. This isn't an issue, though, as thanks to its high snug neckline that reaches up the back of the head, a hood isn't needed.
If you fancy giving the blanket-like garment a try for yourself, you can buy it here for £38. Jim Jam The Label also sells cosy 'twosie' sets, including the stunning Pink Cabel Fleece Twosie Set which I also own and will be wearing with the Oversized Hoodie when the weather gets really cold.

Jim Jam The Label)The twosie set also costs £38 and is made from a super soft fabric. The trousers have an elasticated waistband and cuffed legs for a comfortable fit, while the top has elasticated wrists and flattering balloon sleeves for a snug yet relaxed feel.
The only downside to the fleece set is it is very fluffy, so when I first removed it from the packaging, pink fluff went everywhere. This was easily fixed though by giving the trousers and top a good shake outside and popping them in the washing machine for a quick spin.
Oodie sells similar blanket-like hoodies and comfy trousers, including the Light Grey Oddie which usually costs £65 but is currently on sale for £39. The retailer also has Grey Oodie Pants priced at £45. Meanwhile, John Lewis is selling a Ony Unisex Sherpa Lined Fleece Hoodie Blanket for £39.99.
