The Oodie UK, widely recognised for its oversized wearable blankets, has expanded into summer loungewear with its new Summer Capsule Collection. Titled 'From Where I’d Rather Be', the range is inspired by the relaxed atmosphere of European getaways, featuring lightweight fabrics, playful prints, and holiday-inspired styling.
Mediterranean and Parisian Inspirations
The Greece-inspired collection showcases Mediterranean-style blueprints across items such as the Santorini Sleep Tee, Tile Summer Robe, and matching Cooling Blanket. Meanwhile, the Paris-inspired capsule offers softer, chic designs including the Paris Sleep Tee, Paisley Summer Robe, and Paisley Cooling Blanket. These pieces are designed to evoke rooftop lounging, beach mornings, and leisurely afternoons in the sun.
Oversized Sleep Tees for Hot Weather
At the heart of the collection are Oodie’s oversized Sleep Tees, crafted from a 95% bamboo and 5% spandex blend. According to the company, this material is 30% more breathable than standard cotton jersey pyjamas. The tees feature an oversized fit, stretchy fabric, and practical side pockets, with no irritating zips or buttons, making them ideal for warm nights.
One shopper praised the Santorini Sleep Tee, saying: 'I just love this nightgown. I have been wearing it every night since I got it. The material is soft and cool to the touch. It feels like that cooling material for hot sleepers. It is very roomy, and I like the side pockets. I am very happy with it!'
Lightweight Summer Robes
The collection also introduces lightweight Summer Robes designed for layering during hot weather. These robes feature textured fabrics, adjustable waist ties, and functional pockets, suitable for slow mornings at home or beach holidays. The Oodie describes the range as blending comfort-focused fabrics with an elevated, editorial-inspired style.
Cooling Blankets for Restful Sleep
The Paisley Cooling Blanket, made from a nylon and elastane blend, absorbs and releases heat quickly, helping sleepers stay 2–5°C cooler than their skin temperature. It is up to three times cooler than cotton and wicks away moisture, making it ideal for humid nights. With an impressive Qmax score of 0.32, the blanket has earned a 4.5 out of five-star rating from shoppers.
One satisfied customer noted: 'So comfy and Cool - can't be without my Oodie overnight shirt with pockets.' Another added: 'Retired All My other Pyjamas. Feels heavy when you first pick it up, but once it’s on, it drapes and doesn’t feel heavy at all. It’s soft, cosy, and somehow still feels like you’re wearing nothing. I won’t sleep in anything else now.'
Where to Buy and Alternatives
The Oodie Summer Capsule Collection is available now, with prices starting from £55 for sleep tees. For those seeking alternatives, Marks and Spencer offers the Cool Comfort Cotton Modal Printed Nightdress, while The White Company provides the Long Lightweight Organic Cotton Waffle Robe from £65. The Luxear Cooling Blanket from Amazon, with 9% off, starts from £39.
Overall, the new collection aims to transform everyday comfort into a playful European escape, perfect for summer.
