The poncho silhouette has long been a canvas for designers' inspirations and now we’re helping you wear the revived trend. Pre-fall, resort shows, cruise collections – it’s the inter-seasonal moment when wearable fashion seduces the sartorial savvy.

Burberry envisioned the flattering shape with monogramming for autumn/winter 2014, with models all over the world hugging Christopher Bailey’s cashmere creation. The British fashion brand added a boho flair for autumn/winter 2015 alongside Chloe and Lanvin – it's the perfect travel partner for chilly city nights - and with winter on the horizon we’re happy to see the style has become Pre-fall’s warmest muse.
From Rocha’s bold yellow dress to Chanel’s evening teal cover-up and Lanvin’s dark, wintery print – it’s the silhouette for every season. Look for bright, patterned updates in early summer and team your go-to piece with gladiator sandals and an embellished clutch. If your travels take you to cooler climates, slip on a pair of knee-high boots and some fringe layering for a boho-beauty transformation.
