Capes & Ponchos. The trend driving our country into comfort.




So I realised that Ponchos are really on the in the other day when a little girl came into work and i subtly tried to steal her poncho.
Okay, so she was 5, but nevertheless! It was a cool ass poncho!
But when you like something so much that you try to steal it off a small helpless child- You know it's gotta be in fashion, Even just slightly.


But when did this sudden thought enter our minds that ponchos can actually be cool?
Was it that Mighty Boosh episode in Season 1 where Vince is bringing back the Poncho and cowboy boot duo?
No.
Or was it when we suddenly got bombarded by the likes of Alexander McQueen, Chanel and Gareth Pugh and the rest of the fashion gods by a series of Capes and Ponchos down the runways?
Yep.
Or was it when a spread with Rose Cordero in Paris Vogue way back in March has her pictures with somewhat of a mexican inspired blanky draped around her?
Yes also.

Either way, it's a comforatble, carefree way to spend winter. Teamed with heels, thigh high socks and something underneath (doesnt matter all too much because it's covered!) it's a fail-free way to pull off a fat day after all of that winter baking.
Our advice- Steer free from any sombrero's this winter.
