Okay, so maybe I stretched this one a bit too much. Or maybe not. Did you see Burberry’s take on the PONCHO for 2014-2015 Fall/Winter? Literally a very luxurious, yet cozy, but utterly expensive (I’m betting well wroth it though) massive blanket, much like Louis Vuitton’s menswear giant scarf from a few seasons ago. Apparently it’s the IT thing of this fall. Interesting. 
Blankets – we all know.
Ponchos – are those overcoats with one hole to pull your head through, usually in a square or rectangular shape.
Capes – are the same as the ponchos except they have 2 extra holes for your arms. And are usually more tailored, or resemble very feminine retro circled oversized coats. Aaaand look absolutely fantastic with long gloves. 
And really it never much does anything thermal wise. Yeah you’ve got your neck and shoulders covered, but seriously the rest of it is hanging out there letting the morning wind and chill in, you know. And the look of your hands or arms hanging from the 2 holes of a cape, I found so pretentious. You’re obviously cold so don a fucking coat. 
About that silhouette paranoia I used to have: well… I still think the blanket-trend will make me look slouchy and willowy (when I’m in heels), borderline homeless when in flats, or a massive chicken wearing a blanket standing on a grill when I have my fat days, BUUUT there’s something very French-chic about this nonchalant style. (no, not about looking like an artificially enhanced chicken.) Not to mention liberating for lack of overly sexed up woman image. 
What do YOU think of the PONCHO look?

Capes must be one of the simplest ever items of clothing, because it is simply a square piece of fabric with some mechanism to hold it in place around the neck.
Having ripped all the tendons in my shoulder and my arm now strapped across my chest this is the perfect solution for staying warm as we go into winter. I was worried about looking like a leftover hippy but many of these new styles are bang on for today. Like all things, make sure you choose the shape that suits you!
YES totally! I know what you mean, capes, blankets and ponchos were NEVER my thing, but this year I’m so reconsidering them. They look soo chic and effortless and of course now… I love them. Thanks Helen. :) xx
I like short capes, but ponchos and blankets…errr, not so much.
was the same, hell, I am the same, but I’m planning to challenge myself on this one ;) thanks xoxo
” I felt it channeled the old-lady-living-with-200-cats-smelling-like-expired-medicine look.” LOL!!!!!!!!!
I don’t mind the look but feel it is a bit staged – not too many people can pull off this style while still actually functioning – but a fab posing look!
hahaha glad you enjoyed it! I kinda like it now, but agree with u ‘it’s a bit staged’ so well put! thanks so much xoxo
