20 Style Tips On How To Wear Ponchos

Ponchos can be a little intimidating. They consist of a whole lot of fabric, and can very easily be unflattering or way too casual. But when they’re worn the right way, ponchos are amazing, and become something that every girl should own at least one of. They’re ridiculously cozy and comfortable, and they look very boho-chic.

I’m a short girl with some curves, so I know how hard it can be to style a poncho the right way – they can easily overwhelm my frame and make me look kind of crazy. But these style tips have inspired me to try my poncho in new ways… plus, I just bought an insanely soft one from Forever 21 I’m dying to wear. Want to get in on this winter trend? Here are 20 style tips on how to wear ponchos.

1. Go for an outfit in one color, like this all-black look.

18. A pair of heels balances out a super big poncho, making your outfit a little more stream-lined.
