With temperatures plummeting below freezing, it's proving difficult to avoid turning the heating on at home - but with households still looking to save on their energy bills amid the rising cost of living, many are on the lookout for clothing that can keep them extra warm this winter.
One brand that has seen popularity soar in recent months is the Oodie - made in Australia, these oversized blanket hoodies claim to not only be able to keep you ultra-toasty in the cold, but be "the most comfortable thing you'll own" too. The Oodie website insists that their garments are "worth every penny" - but with a price tag of between £80 and £100 when not on sale, it involves a considerable upfront cost.
Other retailers have brought out Oodie dupes that come at a fraction of the cost, including popular high street giant Primark who offer the 'Snuddie' for just £16 in a variety of designs - but how does it measure up to the pricier option? The Mirror put both blanket hoodies to the test to see whether shoppers are better off splashing the cash, or whether the cheaper dupe does the job just as well.
