What happened to the 'duvet' tops that were all the rage last winter?

I was thinking these tops would make good presents for family this winter but can't remember what they are called and various searches using different wording have not produced success in finding them..... I hope this makes sense to someone...

Gilet type waistcoat things?

I don’t really know what was all the rage last winter.

Oodies?

Comforters?
Or something to wear?

Sorry, I've not heard of them either.
Unless a DGC tells me what's "in" I would never know.

I think it was Oodies. I bought them for DGC because that was what they said they’d like. I was lucky enough to get them in a sale.

Body warmers/gilet,pretty much the same thing i think.
I keep one in the car to put on if it gets chilly in the summer evenings or need a top up in the winter for extra warmth.

I bought four from kuddly last week, cheaper to buy in quantity, like this. They are really snuggly.

They have been put away during the heatwave, but people have produced them at evening BBQs.

I have never seen these, but would struggle to get it on and off.

Arent tyese things worn on beaches to dress and undress inside, and keep warm after a swim? They are enormous,

No, this one isn’t towelling, it’s like a double thickness dressing gown, with a furry inside, like a huge sweatshirt in shape. It’s actually very comfortable because it’s got proper cuffs, so you can do housework etc. while wearing it if you want to.

Thanks, all, especially @AskAlice and @Mollygo who are correct. We have a Dryrobe in the family, @silverlining48, but the dog has appropriated it with the owner's blessing!
