Last year I wrote about the Burberry poncho and how it was showing up everywhere but had yet to really make it to the plus size scene. Finally, they are here and I'm pretty pleased with the selection I've seen.
Lauren Ralph Lauren wool & suede trim poncho: Exquisite details and a neutral plaid? True love, just out of my budget. If I had to choose a favorite on this post, it would be a close fight between this one and the Marina Rinaldi color block wrap.
Lauren Ralph Lauren stripped ruana: A more traditional ruana for the weekend.
Old Navy plaid poncho: At $45, this is the most budget-friendly item of the post. It also comes in a black and white windowpane print as well. I threw this on my birthday list but I'm not sure which print I want to go with: I like the weathered colors on the red plaid but the windowpane would have more oppurtunity of wear. I'm going to have to think about that one.
Another Lauren Ralph Lauren black and white wrap: A perfect topper for special occasion dresses that isn't a pashmina. If I saw someone wearing this outfit, I'd totally think they looked incredibly well put together. Skip the cardigan, get a wrap instead.
Marina Rinaldi color block wrap: In my mind, this most closely matches the Burberry poncho I fell in love with last year. Again, totally out of my price range but I plan to keep an eye out for a sale.
Nic + Zoe chevron cardigan: A cardigan in a style similar to ponchos. For those who like the look of a wrap but want something a little more practical to wear.
I do think a poncho or whatever you want to call it would be worth the money if you wanted to spend more. A good wrap can really elevate an outfit and offers a completely different look than a jacket or sweater.
