We all know the feeling—it’s burning up outside, but your office is basically the Arctic. It can be rough during the summer months trying to negotiate your comfort in a workplace that’s weirdly conducive to space heaters in July, but that’s where the trusty desk blanket comes in. A desk blanket can be woven from any material that drapes elegantly over your shoulders while you ping off emails; ideally it can work as either a spring-to-summer transition piece (think: linen and cotton blends) or a nippy-to-cozy workhorse that’ll take you into fall swaddled in merino wool and cashmere. Whatever your preference, the 20 blankets below are sure to stoke the flames of your imagination, if not the trash can fire you’re prepared to start should the thermostat keep dipping.
