Ponchos. Aside from the cultural origination, when a person hears the word poncho, what usually comes to mind is the horrendous trend that took place in the earlier 2000's or those handy tarp things they give you at Disneyland on rainy days. I cannot say I have ever owned a poncho but this Fall/Winter season I will and I'm doing it right. I'm favoring the shapes & styles below. Nothing like a chic update to make an old bad fad a new instant classic.
Chunky & Statement : Pair with fitted, simple bottoms & a wedge & everyone will die. Die.
Sleek & Simple: perfect for a fall look like shorts & low boots.
Sheer & Dainty: So classy, so chic. Sheer garments look great with nude peices!
Tribal & Comfy: It's no secret that I covet tribal print. With a street style shape this looks great with jeans.
(I admit it..I ordered this yesterday.)
Urban & Casual: Very hip & smartly sexy with the low V. Dress up with a slim trouser or dress down with dark denim.
Eccentric & cultural: Not everyone can pull this off but I would Belt this with a legging underneath. Yum.
The key to any of these looks; nothing fussy on your legs, keep it fitted or short in neutral colors.
