Travel + Leisure logo

If you’re anything like me, you look forward to snowy winter days all year long, just so you can snuggle up under a cozy throw blanket while working, reading, or binge-watching the latest Netflix “it” show. Well, that chilly time of the year has officially arrived, which means throw blanket season has, too.

When I pick out a new throw, I look for options that contain all three elements of what I like to call the throw blanket trifecta: a soft touch, a warm weave, and an attractive appearance — after all, most throws spend their lives in plain sight draped over the living room couch! Below, we’ve rounded up 8 of our favorite throws that check every box. All you need now is a crackling fireplace and a cup of hot chocolate.

Barefoot Dreams ‘In the Wild’ Throw Blanket

Not only is this blanket super soft and cuddly, but it also provides majorly fierce jungle vibes. Throw it over an accent chair to elevate your living room or loft space, or throw it over your lap for the comfiest night in ever.

This throw from eco-friendly brand Bearaby is actually a weighted blanket in disguise, so you know it’ll bring double the hygge when you wrap yourself up in it on the couch this winter. You can grab this option in a variety of colors to match virtually any decor scheme.
