Fringe Ponchos and Poncho Styling Tips

Another simple winter outfit featuring a poncho! Continue reading below for outfit details and styling tips.

This time I layered my outfit with a thick turtleneck from Rue 21 that I received as a Christmas gift last year. This turtleneck is the perfect layering piece. I tend to style it with either a faux fur, a poncho or another form of outerwear. My favorite way I have styled this top in the past, is layered with a denim jumper (a look you'll see on The Mod Little Melanin soon).

I paired the turtleneck with a pair of highwaisted jeans from Garage. Garage, though particularly pricey, has great quality jeans! I've owned this pair for about three years and the stretch and quality of the jean is amazing.

My poncho is an affordable suede fringe poncho from GoJane.com. As I said in a previous blog, I tend to shop online because the deals are better and the finds are outstanding! I paid no more than $5.00 for this poncho, as it was on sale for 90% off.

Styling tips for ponchos: High waisted jeans pair best with ponchos. If you are styling a printed poncho, choose a prominent color from the poncho. If you feel like taking a fashion risk, pair a printed top with a printed poncho and choose a pant that does not overpower the outfit.
