Ponchos

Poncho

A Poncho is not just a blanketlike cloak with a hole in the center, but a simple and timeless body warm that has a big and long history.


The poncho has seen its fashion rise and fall through many periods and cultures in history.  
Ponchos have been used by the Native American peoples of the Andes since pre-Hispanic times and are now considered typical South American garments. 
The poncho is a simple rectangular or square-shaped cut of fabric with an opening at its center for the wearer’s head. It is essentially a formless piece of clothing that protects the body effectively despite its basic design and is a garment worn by both men and women traditionally.



You can see ponchos also on the catwalk!








... all kind of colors, fabric and shapes!






And it's not difficult to make them!






So, let's get one and add it in our closet this Fall!
