Pop On A Poncho If You Haven't Already:70s Trend Continues Through Spring




Maybe you used to have a poncho. Or maybe you never got into the 70's Bohemian look.

Well, the poncho has been riding a somewhat quiet wave through fall and winter. And now the trend is heating up again this spring. Suddenly, it seems like ponchos are popping up everywhere.

For some, ponchos are lazy and not too stylish. But as we like to say....."This ain't your mama's poncho.". The 2011 poncho has evolved into a chic and elegant-over-the-head go-to cover-up.

Ponchos don't have to look like homely blankets or tacky tribal get-ups. The fabrics we've been seeing are quite delicate and rich-looking. And like all clothing, ponchos come in high-end and low-end price tags.

We found a variety of them at Nordstrom and Forever21. There's a poncho for every woman's budget.
1. Nordstrom Brazen Knit Jersey Poncho ($42) in viscose rayon. Heather Gray. We love the fluidity of this chic poncho.
2. Forever21 Knit Fringe Poncho ($19.80) in cotton. Fuchsia. We like the open crochet and bold fun, flirty color for casual wear.
Look around. You'll find tons of pretty ponchos out there. Get 70s inspired!
