If it doesn't feel like the softest sweater you've ever worn, then it's not on this list.

It may be sundress and tube top weather now, but in a couple of months, summer is going to feel like a faraway fever dream. Soon, we'll be swapping Birkenstocks for Blundstones, sunscreen for hand cream, and days at the beach for mornings on the slopes. I don't want to freak you out, friends, but winter is coming—and you better come prepared.

The first thing you should put on your cold-weather wishlist, IMHO? A cute plush blanket. I firmly believe that everyone needs to have at least one blanket in their house that makes them never want to leave said home ever again. You deserve a blanket so soft, so thick, and so chic, it'll keep you feeling warm and your apartment looking cozy for seasons to come. Lucky for you, I know a few blankets that fit the bill, and I'm ready to share them with ya. Here's a little ~sneak peek~...

Cute, right?! And would you believe they're even cozier than they look? Scroll down to learn more about the 16 best plush blankets on the market and be prepared to fall in love. I promise you (and your couch) won't regret it!!!

Sourced from a fair-trade, woman-owned textile business in Peru that works with local artisans, this creamy white blanket is luxury defined. The material is a superfine alpaca blend—known for being lightweight but still super fluffy. And those tassels! Don't even get me started.

Glowing review: Love! Gorgeous and luxe.

Sometimes being two-faced is a good thing, and this chic blanket from Barefoot Dreams—the celebrity-beloved brand famous for their mind-blowingly soft products—is proof. The pinky-purple piece is reversible, with a light-pink basket weave on one side and a high-pile fleece on the other. Double the cozy, double the love!

Glowing review: I use this blanket to sleep with. It’s a little thicker than the other Barefoot Dreams blankets. I love the texture. And the rose color is really beautiful. Plus super soft! Highly recommend!

This simple-but-chic throw is woven from brushed cotton—a material that has all the properties you could ever want in a blanket (IYKYK). It's as soft as your favorite t-shirt and super warm while also still being breathable, which hot sleepers everywhere will appreciate.

Glowing review: This throw was in a hotel I stayed in back in NYC and I knew I had to have one. It's especially soft, warm and cozy and really well-made. The knit is a very neutral design that will go well in almost any living room or bedroom.

If you don't yet have a piece designed by the wonderful Justina Blakeney (of Jungalow fame), this should probably be your first. The charcoal grey and white coloring will blend into damn near any aesthetic, and the sun-inspired medallions draw the eye without being too bold. Curious about the texture? It's about as close to chenille as you can get without actually being chenille.

Glowing review: Literally the most wonderful blanket I've ever had! It's ridiculously soft and it looks amazing on my green couch. I highly recommend getting one.

Kim K really popped off with this one! If you've ever tried Skims's Cozy Collection, you know that this bouclé-esque material is like a big, warm hug from your favorite momager. It's available in seven different colorways (the one you see here is Dusk, but I'm also obsessed with Camel) and comes wrapped in a bow for easy gifting.

Glowing review: This blanket is perfect! I’ve been waiting for something like this. It’s big and super soft now that it’s getting colder I can snuggle in this and it also puts me right to sleep, it’s seriously so comfortable.

Check out how cute this lil guy is! This standout checkerboard print is Gen-Z approved and will add a pop of cool to any space you throw it in. It's super soft and light as a feather (it weighs just two pounds!) but will keep you toasty for years to come thanks to the thick and durable yarn.

As I type this right now I practically swimming in softness with this absolutely massive plush blanket pulled all the way up to my neck. It takes up my entire couch and more (like actually, it's 10 feet by 10 feet...) and has made every single aspect of my life better—especially movie nights. Do I even need to go on?

Glowing review: Love this blanket! You can definitely get lost in it but no more fighting over who has the most covers.

Handwoven in a fair trade environment by artisans in Ethiopia using 100-percent Ethiopian cotton, this blanket looks and feels just as one-of-a-kind as it is. The color-blocked pattern mixes shades of blue and grey, and the different pile lengths create a range of textures that'll have you running your hands across it all day long.

Weighted blankets can ease anxiety and promote better sleep, and if you don't need help with either of those things...teach me how to be you. Bearaby's weighted blankets are some of my favorites, and their velvet collection might just take the cake. The chunky knit is the perfect texture, and the eco-velvet material—made from marine plastic—is soft as can be.

Glowing review: I'm never leaving my bed again. This is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me.

If you told me that this blanket was $250 and not $25, I would fully believe you. And that's on ~Homegoods~. Take a closer look at this throw and you'll notice the print looks just like the pelt of a snow leopard—in fact, it's so spot-on (hehe) you might not believe it's faux fur. Should you buy one for every room in your house? Probably.

Just try not to smile while wrapping yourself up in this '70s-inspired throw. The sherpa fleece is silky smooth—and actually gets softer with every wash—while the pink-and-cream retro pattern adds a pop of je ne sais quoi. Obsessed with the smiley faces? You can also buy throw pillows in the same print!

Glowing review: Love the way the print looks on the blanket. It’s super soft and looks amazing.

Rememer when you were a kid and you had the best day ever and you ended the night at your best friend's house and fell into the most peaceful slumber in your super-poufy sleeping bag? That's the same type of feeling you get when you wrap yourself up in this blanket from Buffy, which is designed to feel like the plushest of puffer jackets. It's light and airy and perfect for both indoor and outdoor use (did I mention it's stain-resistant and machine washable?!).

Glowing review: Material looks like it could be from your favorite puffy jacket...really comfortable!

If everything in my home could be made from waffle-knit material, it would be. It just makes everything feel so *plush,* whether it be a towel, bathrobe, or, of course, blanket. This pick from LL Bean is the epitome of soft and comes in a variety of sizes to fit your needs (and/or your bed!).

Sometimes personalized items can end up looking a little...tacky. But this varsity letter-inspired blanket from Bauble Bar is anything but. Pick a letter, any letter, and they'll put it on repeat on their super-soft acrylic knit fabric. Got an "H" name like me? You're basically getting a dupe of the Hermès Avalon throw, but for wayyyy less dough.

Nearly five-star comfort (based on over 12k reviews!) for less than $16? A stealio of a dealio, if you ask me. This microfiber throw is lightweight and breathable while still being super soft, and has different pile lengths on both sides so you can chose which you want on your skin. It's also vailable in 32 (!) colorways, so you know there's one that'll fit your room's aesthetic, no matter how funky.

Glowing review: If you're looking for a wonderful, soft blanket that is lightweight but still warm and will not shrink or lose its softness after washing then purchase this one. You will NOT regret it!!!!

No partner? No problem. Keep the bed warm without having to share precious bed space with a super-plush heated blanket like this one. The microfleece heats up quickly with just the touch of a button, and there are 20 different settings to make sure you're the exact perfect temperature at all times. (Psst, if you do have a partner, buy either the queen- or king-sized option, which have dual controls!)

Glowing review: This is the best electric blanket I have ever owned. (I've owned many in my years.) It's worth every penny!
