If you are tired of traditional jackets and cardigans and you don’t know how to diversify your wardrobe, then a poncho scarf will be an original solution. This thing, worn over a regular turtleneck or pullover, can instantly transform your look, giving an elegant charm and a touch of romance.
Features
A poncho scarf is a cross between a classic poncho, cape and scarf. This cozy item can be worn in the office or for a walk.
As a rule, this wardrobe item is made of warm and durable fabric, knitted options are especially popular. A poncho scarf is appropriate for any season. A thin summer model will look beautiful on top of a dress or turtleneck on a cool evening. In autumn and spring, some models look beautifully worn over a thin coat. In winter, a short, sophisticated poncho can be worn under outer clothing.
By the way, for the cold season, it is worth choosing a model of warm deep tones: burgundy, brown. If you plan to wear this accessory often, choose an option that includes synthetics: such a scarf drapes beautifully, does not wrinkle, and can be easily washed. This convenient thing is suitable for women of all ages and complexions.
A poncho scarf can be independently transformed from a regular stole. It is enough to put it on your shoulders and tie it around your chest with a beautiful knot. By the way, sometimes manufacturers deliberately leave small cuts on the stoles, which allows you to remake the cloak in a poncho.
If you show a little imagination, you can make yourself a spectacular accessory of two long and wide scarves: draping with knots in the front and back or on the sides.
Such a wardrobe item as a large square plaid scarf can also be transformed into a fashionable poncho scarf: fold it into a triangle, throw it over your shoulders and fix it with a belt. You will create a stylish sloppy look.
Models
The poncho scarf has various modifications. A variant in the form of a cape is popular, with its help you can insulate or stylishly drape your shoulders and chest. Usually this thing is worn on top of any tight-fitting clothes. In fact, this is a short rectangular or oval canvas with a cutout for the head, it can be round or triangular. There is also a collar “collar” or a high neckline that fits the throat.
A simple and interesting design solution is a poncho in the form of a cape with a slit in front. To do this, just throw a wide scarf over your shoulders and fix its edges on the side - you get a kind of sleeve.
The cape poncho can have sleeves: for this it is enough to fasten the edges below with several stitches. The product can be made of knitwear or fleece. As always, knitwear looks charming, especially if it is hand knitting: luxurious braids or an original diamond pattern will make your look unforgettable. The capes decorated with fringe have a stylish look.
A short poncho scarf can also look like a short knitted sweater (slightly covering the chest), with a high collar and full sleeves.
What and how to wear?
In principle, a poncho scarf can be an alternative to a traditional cardigan or cardigan. It should be worn on tight things: turtlenecks, thin pullovers and sweaters. Poncho with a slit look harmonious with shirts.
As the bottom of the clothes, you should choose jeans, tight pants or a narrow skirt of medium length. For slim legs, a good option is shorts with tights.
A beautiful combination is a straight fitting warm dress of any length and a short knitted poncho.
The image will harmoniously complement the bag with a long handle (another option would deform the silhouette of the poncho). An extravagant, but interesting hat will look with wide brim.
Of the jewelry, wide bracelets will suit the created ensemble, while the poncho itself can be decorated with a spectacular brooch.
As for shoes, the best choice for this type of poncho is high over the knee boots, especially if you combine it with a mini dress or shorts. With jeans or trousers, it is quite possible to wear ankle boots, Cossacks or rough boots.
In addition, you can tie a poncho in the form of a scarf in many ways. You can wrap it around your shoulders and chest several times, and tie the ends with a spectacular knot or hide it. Another option is to combine a wide scarf with a belt. There are two ways: simply fix the fabric on top with a strap or tie a belt around the waist, cover with a scarf at the back, and tuck the front part behind the belt (it will turn out to be something like a spacious vest).
