There are a few things that can bring magic to a living space—the rare candle scent everyone loves, a piece of art that never fails to start a conversation, or a throw blanket with the power to make you forget about the worst of weather happening outside. Right now, we’re zeroing in on that last point—because when the temperatures dip and the sun is nowhere to be found, there really is nothing better than losing yourself in a bundle of warmth at the end of a long day.
Vogue’s Favorite Throw Blankets:
Merino or alpaca, cotton or cashmere, fringe or no fringe—you’ve got some decisions to make. And while you’ve probably heard “you can never have too many throw blankets” (likely from someone who, objectively, does have too many throw blankets), we believe a limit does exist. Much like a piece of art, an heirloom-worthy textile can become your favorite part of a room, so it’s best to choose your investment wisely.
Ahead, we pulled together 18 of the best throw blanket styles, ranging from plain to patterned and even embroidered designs. There’s something for every decor aesthetic, too, from minimalist to maximalist and everyone in between.
Hermès
Avalon throw blanket
There are few things more chic than a lounge chair housing an Hermès throw. The iconic “H” is a luxe touch without going overboard. This is one your friends will fight over the next time you all gather at your place. Dry clean only, no question about it.
Materials: 90% merino wool, 10% cashmere
Soho Home
Erin throw
Optical illusions are best when they’re made of a silk-and-wool blend jacquard. The design is inspired by the Soho Roc House, an iconic Mykonos hotel with breezy interiors and patterns just like this one sprinkled throughout its rooms.
Materials: 64% silk, 36% wool
Loretta Caponi
Autumn blanket
Live out your Italian nonna dreams with this chunky fringed throw. A massive embroidered flower is the main character here, as it should be (you can thank Tuscan artisans for that!). Picture this: your favorite reading chair, washed in sunlight, a cup of tea sitting on the table next to you. There’s no better way to avoid your to-do list.
Materials: 100% wool
Brooklinen
striped lambswool throw blanket
Heritage runs deep with this double-faced throw—it was made under the watch of a 100-year-old, family-run mill in Germany. Its warm, neutral palette means it’ll go with just about anything, from minimalist spaces to rooms bursting with color in need of a grounding moment.
Materials: 100% lambswool
