10 Poncho Styles To Rock Instead Of A Sweater

Sweaters are great during the fall seasons when the weather is still toying between hot and cold, but the problem is that if the weather takes a turn for the hot, you can’t take off your sweater! Poncho’s are a great alternative because they are removable, but they may also seem a bit daunting when it comes to styling all that fabric. That is why we’ve put together a list of styles to give you all the inspiration you need!

1. As A Sweater

I know, we just said that a poncho could replace a sweater and here it is styling itself as a sweater! But with this design you get the option of removing your poncho sweater if the weather decides to change at a moments notice. Just pair a regular outfit underneath, done your poncho, and you are ready for whatever weather the day has planned!

2. With A Belt

Adding a belt to the look not only contains that billowing poncho look, but it also creates the look of a stylish jacket or cardigan. You can close the poncho off completely for a full and definite jacket look, or leave is open slightly in the front and pair a cute shirt underneath for a more casual style!

4. Fur Collar

If you want to go for a more sophisticated look with the poncho, go for a fur trimmed poncho! This combines a classy sophisticated look, with the cozy and comfortable style of the poncho. It’s perfect to wear on top of a dress if you go out, or if you just want to channel your inner aristocrat this look will do the job! If you go for a fur collar on the poncho, you can also wear it during the winter as the fur will double as a cozy scarf.

9. The Fringe

Tassel and fringe on sweaters, dresses, jackets, or skirts, add a certain new fashion style to the look that is chic, cute, and just a plain great look to own! Which is naturally why we can’t have a complete poncho style list, without a cute fringe poncho!
