Ponchos

[dreamboatannie]

Okay, so the last time these were in style was 2004. When will it be safe enough to resurrect this look, I loved it!

depends on color and texture and what you wear it with... got pics?

The only time I find it acceptable was like in the movie Garden State.
And these aren't even real ponchos, but quite inventive!

My philosophy is, it's not out until I say it is. That said, I did not buy into the poncho trend

 

[tomato8]

no not the poncho! i hated it when it came out and i hate it still.

however, i say wear what you like. dictate your own fashion.

I think it's safe enough now. They've become rare again.

Hi,

I am not sure if this thread is still active, but I would like to weigh in on the poncho trend. I have recently launched a line of resort wear called Ceola. One of my pieces is a poncho like beautiful silk top that can be worn as a sexy off the shoulder poncho, a scarf, or a sarong. I would love to post pics of it and get all of you fashionista's opinion.

Bumping again...
I was going through my winter stuff and found a poncho that I had way back that I could never part with. It is a larger poncho in a gorgeous cream color. It is so warm and comfortable. I put it on this morning to run my kids to school and have decided I am bringing this back out of retirement.
Anyone else thinking of it?

Here is mine, it is comfy and will most definitely be in my winter rotations this year.

I love ponchos, especially those with longer bigger sleeves. They are so practical in the rain, especially if they're made of waterproof poly/technofabric/goretex.

Still need that RAF poncho in my life.

^MahaK that poncho looks great (and comfy indeed)!
I don't have one, but I defenitely think about buying one this winter - they're just so convenient: warm/ comfortable and (when worn right) quite stylish.

Hi,

I love your poncho it looks great on you! My best selling piece on my collection is a silk poncho. I especially love cashmere ponchos they are timeless, stylish and warm.

Hopefully they'll never be back in 'fashion'

 

[Diamond Star]

Go for it.
They aren't my favourite item of clothing but I like this Topshop one:

Noooo

 

[fashionista-ta]

I'd say anything is fair game for running the kids to school ...

i have this cdg black wool asymmetrical poncho thing from a/w 1998 (far left in pic) that i have worn a couple of times (usually over the sweater far right). i think it looks cool layered over lots of other black things

^ I would not place that poncho near any others--the others might implode

 

[djflame]

Very nice! I wouldn't mind wearing it myself.

Is the sweater with gloves on the right a CDG Shirt piece?

 

[nijuyanah]

^ That one looks awesome !!
I just bought a poncho yesterday from Only. I' already obsessed with it - it's so warm
