Poncho

Are they fashionable?

I'm a very unstylish 30 year old. I live in jeans and jumpers (summer was rough)

I don't know how to do fashion. I recently had my 3rd baby and I can't shift the weight. I'm the biggest I've ever been (14) and don't know how to dress.

I really like plain black ponchos. Maybe with some boots and a pair of leggings?

No idea if they're fashionable but they're certainly stylish.

Following with interest. I'm really fancying a poncho this winter (live in very cold house!). I've seen a lovely one recently and am so tempted

I like them but personally I think of them a bit like house clothes.They're warm and cosy and more put together than a dressing gown or a blanket but useless for wearing out of the house.

mrsdolittle · 19/09/2022 21:54

So would I for sure! But thought it might be handy if it got a bit nippy at home in the evening Smile

They’re not on trend, but I don’t think you’d get funny looks if you wore one.

BlewsClews · 19/09/2022 22:12

I mean, nothing I do is on trend but no sniggers is definitely a bonus!

I'm not a great fan usually, but I could really do with one for the autumn as I'm in a sling. I'd need a long sleeve one and use it outdoors too. That plain blue was nice, and happily classic, but short sleeves.

I love these but feel you have to be tall and confident to wear them. I did see a short lady in a beautiful dove grey one recently....perhaps it's how you carry yourself.

I also don't know how practical it is out and about. I like a fitted coat and pockets for practicality but love the look of a poncho. Where would you wear it?

BlewsClews · 19/09/2022 22:24

I really like this - super simple www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1075844001.html

I'd do black ankle boots and a pair of leggings?

I don't even know? Ha!

Just generally speaking it's something I like and would wear to anywhere casual? Shopping? A cafe?

I fancy one too but I don't think I could pull it off. Plus, I find layers stressful. I always end up looking dishevelled.

NoteorNot45 · 19/09/2022 22:29

Yes to leggings and ankle boots

perhaps we both need to just buy one!

i'm liking the fuller cape type styles but your links are much more wearable.

Love this. Very tempted!

I've got one from H&M it a cashmere and wool mix, I haven't worn it yet, only brought it 3 weeks ago, but as it getting colder I soon will be.

I'm not sure they're fashionable but Ponchos can definitely be stylish.
I have several in Cashmere or Merino/Cashmere mix from Winser. I'm small & broad shouldered & drapey things suit my frame. Plus I live in a freezing old house. Ponchos are just so easy to fling on & go with any trousers/jeans/boots combo.
