Wearable blankets. You read that right—blankets you can slip on like a swaddled infant and bask in ultimate levels of coziness. Halfway into the most stressful school year ever, it’s pretty much the only acceptable clothing item, ideally worn while diving into a Netflix cave and never coming out.

Unlike a Snuggie, the latest wearable blankets are usually shorter, include a hood and a large pocket for stashing snacks and TV remotes, and are generally much easier to walk around in on the rare occasions we leave the couch. We even found at least one stylish option you could get away with wearing in the classroom to sneak in some extra comfort when school starts back up again, too.

Take a look below for our favorite wearable blankets you can toss on the second your break starts.
