As we wait for our landlords to turn on the radiators in the encroaching cold, we started assessing the best throw blankets for keeping us above freezing in the interim. These picks are suitable for year-round coziness, but we've pulled a few of our tried-and-true favorites for lounging, napping, working from home, and keeping our blood viscose in freezing temps. We've prioritized machine washable options and avoided synthetic fibers-the last thing we want is to be swaddled in carcinogenic material.

Catch up quick: Fast fashion makes it easy to buy cheap, trendy clothes. But some shoppers, especially those focused on sustainability, are shunning what they see as low-quality synthetics in everything from basics to luxury brands. Just this week, some Swifties were seeing red about Taylor's latest limited-edition cardigan, partly because it's made from a lot of plastic. State of play: Roughly 9,000 TikTok posts were tagged #NaturalFibers during the first half of 2025 - up more than 230% from the same time last year, according to data the platform shared with Axios.
