Yay or Nay: Ponchos!


Is it a giant scarf? Is it a blanket? No, it’s a poncho! With the cold weather quickly approaching the need to find comfy outerwear is here.  While most girls will lean towards pea coats and leather jackets, I challenge you to wear a poncho! It is the perfect combination of a snuggie and a warm coat.  Ponchos are comfortable and warm. So whatever you call it, poncho or cape, I say let’s rock them this winter!

Now don’t be afraid to take the fashion risk, below is some awesome outfit inspiration:


Holiday Party Poncho:

Jazz up the poncho trend but sporting a vintage inspired lacey see-through number. It’s the perfect addition to any strappy holiday dress. Keeping with the vintage feeling of the poncho pair it with back seam tights and a feather headband.   With this poncho you will be the star of the party!


Weekend Poncho:

For the weekend opt for a printed poncho with jeans and tall boots, it’s the perfect mix of comfort and style!  It also transitions nicely from running around town picking up Christmas presents to relaxing by a fire drinking hot cider with friends.


Lazy Day Poncho:

When it’s a lazy day (we all have them!) opt for a sweater poncho. This one is perfect. With the turtle neck you won’t even need a scarf! Pair it with printed leggings and a warm white thermal. For your feet wear a slouchy sock and weather boots for mucking around campus after a snow storm. And don’t forget to top it all off with a furry hat to keep your head warm. 


So let me know what you all think?! Is it a yay or a nay? For me it's a yay!

  8. Ponchos are a little bit too bulky for someone of my height..they would totally swamp me. I am on the other hand, totally lusting after that neon pink dress!
