Ponchos - yes or no??

I kind of like ponchos but something is stopping me from buying one. I find I get too hot in coats if I'm rushing about so a poncho would be perfect for me in winter. Any opinions??

If you like it, wear it. IMHumbleO.

Yes you're right of course. Am slowly regaining my confidence with clothes following split from exh. I know what I like, just need a kick up the bum sometimes, need to get out of the habit of asking for permission I guess!! Thanks.

I love mine...and I love the way it wooshes around dramatically in the wind Smile

I've got a big one with pockets and a hood and another one which is more Clint Eastwood in High Plains Drifter.

Go for it normal! or is it norma? Anyway, go for it - give yourself permission. Get one in a colour he hates Grin

My DD has one and I'm jealous. Now if I get one I feel like I'm copying and it all gets complex.

Yes, get one!

tothemoonandback · 28/10/2011 07:19

GET ONE, THEY ARE FAB!!!

I really love mine here from Debenhams. It is a bit thicker so it makes a good alternative to a coat when just popping from the car into shops etc.

Although DH isn't that keen on it, not really sure why but it doesn't put me off. Wink

Sorry, I think they are a total abomination.

But, hey, it's a free country!

lucymr · 28/10/2011 10:36

Yours is really nice Sweetiedoesit

I have had one on today! I have 2 one plain black which is lovely at night and a vintage missoni one which I was wearing today. I think they look great with skinnies and boots although sometimes find the handbag situation annoying!

MissWooWoo · 28/10/2011 12:38

get one! I've got a hand knitted navy one and it is fab, tres chic

second what noddy says about the bag, only clutch or short handles work

SweetieDoesIt · 28/10/2011 12:44

I wear a small cross body bag under my poncho. I find that works fine when out and about.

HellonHeels · 28/10/2011 13:12

I am not keen on them for me because I think they'd make me look larger. My eye did fall upon this lovely one from Zara though and I was tempted.
