Life is cosy

Ahead of the first lockdown-free Christmas in three years, the high street is awash with LBDs, sequins, faux leather and towering platforms as we all look forward to going ‘out out’. But first, it’s snuggly microfleece jim-jams and mock fur slippers that are calling our name as temperatures begin to tumble.

As energy prices head in the opposite direction, winter woolies are set to take on new import this year. Watch for warming fabrics like velour, fleece and brushed cotton across dreamy pyjama sets and nightshirts in the softest pinks and blues.

And no duvet day is complete without a fluffy dressing gown or humongous hoodie and pillowy slippers or bed socks.

Next, Penneys and Joe Browns are all keeping it green with recycled materials. Meanwhile, Marks & Spencer’s stretchy Flexifit technology means there’s no tossing or turning in your sleep.

Now all you need is a hot water bottle and mug of cocoa.
