Ponchos come in all shapes and sizes, just as
we do. Ponchos are originally from
South America, worn since pre-Hispanic times by the people in the Andes. The traditional Poncho
is closed and worn over your head. The Ruana
Poncho is open at the front, and can be worn wrapped over one shoulder.
The
Poncho is a quintessential garment, which enhances anyone’s
wardrobe from classy to retro, to incredibly cool and stylish. Skinny jeans or
pencil skirts pair nicely with a Poncho,
wrap or cape. You do not have to be tall and skinny to wear a Poncho well. Full-figured or a Plus
Size? A Poncho would draw attention
to your style, not your outline. Long Ponchos
work best on a tall frame, as they would overwhelm a petit frame. A soft knit,
asymmetric Poncho will suit a smaller
frame beautifully, and can be worn even indoors.
Best
length? I personally like a Poncho to
end anywhere between the hip and knees. Not too long. It should not look as if
you were wearing a blanket. And I love the shorter Poncho, which basically replaces a cardigan.
We
carry a wonderful selection of Ponchos
in 100% Baby Alpaca, in a fine knit or woven, and both in solid colors or in
contrasting geometric design... gorgeous!
Go for it,
a Poncho is a fabulous complement
to your wardrobe!
