With Autumn here and Winter on it’s way why not treat yourself to an alternative style of jacket and follow the trend with a fashionable poncho or cape.
From sleek knits to fun loving aztec patterns, faux fur collars or chic ruffles the list goes on. If you, like me want warmth and style to mix together during the coming seasons then opt for a soft woollen cable knit cape or poncho.
These jackets make it easy to wear over some of the stunning chunky styled jumpers around this season too. It will certainly add a bit of flare and individuality to your outfit.
I’ve found a gorgeous collection of poncho’s and capes at John Lewis. The plain knit poncho’s are fabulous for placing with smart evening wear or a dress as they add a touch of elegance and old fashioned beauty to your outfit.
However, if like me you’d like a more everyday look, try this Coral cable poncho from Phase Eight which features a loose flap neck with side button fastening and is made in a neutral marl effect knit.
I truly think that this poncho will see you through the coming months in style and elegance. Such an easy way to spice up your everyday jeans and boots outfit, especially if you were to team it with the hot new accessory trend -the suede fedora hat, as was highlighted during the London Fashion Week.
So add something a bit different to your outerwear this year by adding a poncho or cape to your wish list. There are numerous choices of style, fabric and colours available, making it difficult to choose only one! But at least you know you will have plenty of options and I’m sure it will be a fantastic addition to your seasonal wardrobe, and one you will want to wear again and again.
