I probably don’t need to extol the virtues of ponchos and wraps upon you, but I will anyway. They add lightweight warmth and major style to any outfit. As a matter of fact, they’re a warmer and more stylish alternative to scarves (sorry scarves, you know I still love you) and in some climates, you don’t even need to wear a coat over them.
Contrary to what you might think, they work for ALL body types. You just have to find the right style for you. Today, I’m sharing my guide to choosing the right poncho for your body type plus a foolproof outfit formula for pairing your poncho up.
Poncho Outfit Formula
Poncho/Wrap + Layering Top + Skinny Jeans + Boots
[Poncho: c/o Cavender’s/Jeans: Same/Layering Shirt: Similar/Over the Knee Boots: Same]
Ponchos for Every Body Type
Ponchos for Petites
Ponchos are probably the trickiest for the vertically challenged. It’s hard to find one that doesn’t swallow you whole or drag the ground. Stick with shorter lengths or more fitted sweater versions for petite frames.
Ponchos for Plus Size
Best bets for plus sizes are ponchos and wraps that are slim fitting and less voluminous. Try belting a wrap to define your waist.
Ponchos for Tall
Tall girls can beautifully pull off longer styles but should steer clear of shorter boxier ones.
Ponchos for All
These poncho styles work for all body types.
