Oversized and asymmetrical long ponchos designed with fringes and large prints have a dressy appearance themselves. Plus size women may try this look for a day out with friends. Wearing belt will give you an impression of an hourglass figure. Slim and petite women may avoid this as they might look overpowered by the ponchos. Lighter shades of ponchos with darker shades of shoes will be an ideal fusion.

During winter choose vibrant designs done up with a block or itsy bitsy prints.

Ponchos worn over short dresses or skirts become a style statement. The cape-like feature makes your upper part voluminous and flabby, so you may consider trying something slimmer for the bottom. If you choose skirts, then full sleeves shirts or tops will match to the grace of the poncho. You may also try lace poncho cape or ponchos designed with buttons.

Shoes Thigh-high boots
Accessories Stud earrings and drawstring bags

The bohemian vibe that ponchos offer is a favorite of women. Regardless of its print and style, the easy breezy attire has found a permanent place in their wardrobe.
