One of the biggest trends this winter season is ponchos & capes, and we love them! This style winner is ideal to layer over an outfit for additional warmth on cooler mornings and breezy evenings.

Other fabulous advantages are: They don’t wrinkle so no additional ironing or steaming is required (this also makes it super practical for those of you who travel). This style is extremely comfortable making you free to move easily (and to breathe).

Ponchos & capes come in a wonderful variety of textures from delicate and embroidered to warm and woolly; from classic and chic to fringed and tasselled (the latter being a super-hot current trend). They are a 24-7 investment and can be styled with everyday separates, from smart to casual.

This style can be worn belted or loose. Either way avoid wearing a poncho or cape with a flared pant or skirt. It is already flared at the top so a tapered or fitted bottom would be the better style choice. It is best to place the points at your sides for the perfect overall proportion.

All in all this winter trend is a fabulous style choice to keep you warm, and elegant, all winter long.
