Ponchos: A fashion Do or Don't?

[PnkCosmo]

I give them a big DON'T; unless you're packing through Mexican mountains on a donkey, wearing a sombrero and sipping tequila!

3rd. i never did like them...

Another big no for me.. as very petite person I'd look lost in a drape of fabric. I'm not sure who, if anyone, would look good in one..

 

[blepharisma]

Hmmm... I didn't vote, because none of the options really fit my opinion.

I don't think ponchos would look good on me, for sure, but there are some people that odd things look amazing on. This DOESN'T include supermodels... I think they look bizarre in most things.

I think that people who have, say, a 'quirky' sense of style could pull off ponchos -- and not just because they're suddenly fashionable.

[GoldieLox]

i dont like this fashion trend at all. it reminds me of like my grandma or something. but if you have a real bohemien style you might like it...

Don't, don't, don't!!! Whoever thought they were enough the first time to bring them back again must have been smoking crack! UGLY! (so there!

 

[OsaAmorosa]

it depends on which one! the typical ones,mexicans or from guatemala no!
but i have one, small and purple that is beautiful,and so soft! i love it a friend of mine has another one in brown wich a few lines in different colours and its great too!


its not so bad:

My sister can pull them off because she is just short of 6 feet. They make me look stubby and wide (like a tea cozy).

I'm kind of inbetween as well. There are nice lightweight ones with a good drape, esp if they are not tightly knit..

I think some look good when they are cut assymetrical(sp?) I reaally hate the ones that have the hem cut straight across your hips, hiding your arms and waist - thus the tent effect.

I have only one, but the hem comes to a point in front of my hips, and the neckline is large and exposes a shoulder. So you can still see a lot of arm on one side, and my waistline is visible (very important!). It's a neutral dove grey and looks amazing with my Sevens and Fryes.

If it circles when you twirl, then you have too much fabric up top. If you're petite, don't attempt. And stay away from busy knits patterns and colors.

I have to say Id NEVER wear one, but I got the cutest crocheted (SP) one for my daughter and it loooks fabulous on her!!

 

[Pink_minx]

I give it a DONT...I got a poncho but I just look like an old lady and since Im petite it looked like a blanket wrapped around me. It looks good on a few peoples but other than that ponchos are ugly! on me especially.

I give it a DO -- not all the time but sometimes...

I have a great knitted one, very elegant, that I wear in the winter time, it's a off white creme color...gorgeous with jeans or dress pants and boots.

 

[juicy love]

DON'T! I never liked this trend..

 

[Vinyl Vapour]

i dont like them personally, but look MUCHOS better if cut kinda V shaped at front.

i like them... i think they got too trendy and that kinda pissed me off, but they look good on some people... as long as they arent super thick and bright ass colors.. i have a black on and a brown one... it works for me (i think LOL)... but i can def. see how someone would look wierd in them..
