Make Summer Last Longer With An Outdoor Throw Blanket
Al fresco hosting is far from over, but as the end of August and Labor Day weekend draw near, the way we host needs to adapt slightly. Those balmy evenings that once required little more than some low lighting and ice-cold martinis are slowly becoming cooler and darker, and if you want to make your guests feel comfortable, a chic outdoor throw blanket is a must-have.
Lightweight but plush, and endlessly cozy, outdoor throw blankets are an essential in the transition from summer to fall. No longer will you have to retreat indoors when August and September temperatures dip below 70 degrees – just grab a blanket to keep you cozy as you curl up on your outdoor furniture to enjoy the last bits of summer.
Some outdoor throws are made with special, performance materials to protect them from the elements, like Sunbrella’s Throw Blanket. However, any durable and machine-washable throw should do the trick. This year’s favorite is Terrain’s Tartan Blanket – a soft wool throw that’s easy to clean and perfect for a breezy night on the patio.
As the summer nears its end, make the most of your days and nights outside with a cozy outdoor throw blanket. Keep one tucked in a basket beside your back door so that every time you step onto your patio, warmth isn’t far behind.
