It’s easy to fall in a clothing rut, but you can completely change up your look with one simple swap! Opt for a poncho.
I know, it sounds like it won’t change much, but if you’re someone who always goes for cozy sweaters and open front cardigans, this swap out will change up your look and make you feel instantly more chic. Every time I see someone else wearing a poncho, I love the look, but until recently hadn’t tried it out for myself.
I paired this poncho with my favorite skinny jeans and flats for a trip to the apple orchard, and I felt totally comfortable and the look came together in mere seconds. Something about the draping and asymmetrical hem feels completely different from my usual open-front cardigan, which is a welcome surprise.
Want to go in a different direction? Pair a poncho with a fitted pencil skirt and boots for an office appropriate style. A poncho can be worn in many different ways, however because it has no structure, a good rule of thumb is to pair it will fitted clothing (i.e. pencil skirt, body con dress, or skinny pants). If you pair the unstructured poncho with other loose clothing, chances are that you’ll end up looking sloppy.
