I have seen few nice Ponchos around on my travels (cannnot remember where now) hmm

But they do look handy to throw on.

I bought an ikea fleece blanket for $2.99 (lap size) and made an opening for the head... saw the trick in the internet

It works like a charm

I have a lovely plush crimson one with a fake fur collar which I bought in Tavistock about four years ago and I love it and prefer it to a coat or jacket.

I love them, have quite a few, and am always on the lookout for more

I love the look but I don’t own any.

I have a reversible, black/ camel wrap/cape that I bought from M&S years ago. It has lived at the back of the wardrobe and often I have thought of ditching it. But after reading the above posts, I may resurrect it to keep me warm in the evenings.

In the back of the airing cupboard is a crochet green and blue poncho with fringes made for me by my lovely mum back in the late 60’s when I was a student and it was all the rage. I find it a bit cold on the lower arms so haven’t worn it for years.

I also had a lovely brown wool cape with a gold sateen lining that was so useful over dresses or trousers. Loved it. Forgotten all about it. Idk what happened to it. Just wore it out I suppose.

I'm planning to crochet a poncho, didn't realise they were back on fashion. I think we had them as children in the 60s

I am deff going to buy one or some sort of wrap coat, think they look good with boots and jeggins )I'm sure they look just as good with boots and skirts but I am not a skirt person).

I’ve got couple I think they are lovely, one mustard and one silver grey

Very comfortable, great for me as it's always my shoulders and upper arms that feel the cold most!!

They’re good for travellling too I find. Easy to pop on when you’re on a plane. Or just sitting at home watching TV.
