WARM FRONT
A well-played poncho or cape will keep you cosy this fall
While Betty was well known for her colorful ponchos just a few years ago, now’s your time to make a similar statement. Ponchos and capes may remind us of the past (think Native American and South American dress), but they are another upcoming trend this fall.
All about comfort and great for a windy day in the city, these cosy toppers are being spotted in sweater or jacket form, and are a comfy yet preppy alternative to the classic cardi and trench.
Seen on the Fall 2011 Alexander Wang, Karen Walker and Rag & Bone runways ponchos and capes have been spotted on celebs such as Kate Hudson and Jessica Simpson.
