"Poncho" comes from the word "lazy" - you just need to throw it and now you can leave the house, your image is ready! Moreover, today the choice of options for the poncho is incredibly large - this is a shortened poncho, and a poncho-coat, and huge, almost to the ground, ponchos, which in combination with a tight belt resemble a luxurious dress.

Whatever style you choose, the poncho perfectly hides the flaws of the figure and looks amazingly feminine and elegant. You just need a few extra touches to make your look perfect.
But to figure out how to wear a poncho is not difficult!

1. The absolute dominant

It should immediately be taken as a fact that a poncho is the dominant part of your look. Everything else is just additions, which in no case should "pull the blanket over yourself." The poncho sets the color scheme, as does the choice of shoes and accessories. Any attempts to complicate this balance will lead to the fact that your outfit will produce a "heavy" impression.

2. No baggage!

How to sew a poncho without a pattern

On the one hand, the poncho itself implies the most free and hiding silhouette, but, as you know, the correct arrangement of this freedom will help, on the contrary, emphasize the accuracy of the lines of the figure. The bottom should always be as tight-fitting as possible for contrast with a spacious top! You can also emphasize the waist with a strap or belt.

If you choose a dress for a poncho, try to choose an option in which the waist is accented with the help of a cut or decorative elements.

3. Decorations: the smaller the better!

Warm poncho - a model for beginners!

Perhaps the case is in the “poor” South American origin of the poncho, but this wardrobe item does not like luxury and excesses in jewelry. Do not abuse long earrings and massive bracelets in combination with sunglasses - just one thing will be enough.

4. Properly selected shoes

Absolute autumn favorite - over the knee boots! But a huge variety of different types of shoes are combined with a poncho: ankle boots, small boats, tall stilettos, sandals. The only taboo - do not combine the poncho with sports shoes, unless you go on a country trip.

5. The thing about the hat

An accessory going hand in hand with a poncho is a hat. It can be a small felt hat, or maybe a wide-brimmed, voluminous hat, hiding its owner from the prying eyes of strangers. Autumn is the time to try such a combination!
