5 Fall Ponchos and Wraps to Jazz Up Your Jeans
Throwing on a cozy shawl is an easy way to transform your jeans from average to awesome. Fall ponchos make perfect toppers when the weather is up and down and too warm for a coat.
From rustic blanket ponchos trimmed in fringe to elegant, knit ponchos with clean, modern lines, ponchos add a touch of drama to any casual jeans outfit. Here’s a look at 5 fall ponchos and wraps and how to style them casually and modernly.
1. Hooded Poncho
Here’s a shawl that adds a lot of charisma to a pair of basic black jeans. I love the big, flowy feel of this classy wool camel cape, which would be a dream to wear.
The graceful shawl collar gives it an exquisite look, and the beautiful hood makes me think that if this shawl was in red, it would be exactly what Little Red Riding Hood Would Wear. In other words, it’s a classic!
A cream bag and booties pick up on the cream turtleneck and pull it all together.
2. Fringe Poncho
This is a gorgeous color if you want to transition your summer wardrobe into fall. A block fringe poncho is perfect. It adds a burst of fall color to any outfit.
3. Knit Poncho
I love this classic cable-knit poncho in cozy white. It brightens up any outfit, and the turtleneck is so cozy.
4. Blanket Wrap
Vintage-inspired blanket wraps with a Southwest vibe have been hugely popular over the last few years. They typically have lots of texture and fringe, and their muted tones and rustic appearance make them natural to wear with faded or distressed jeans.
They often have a Tex-Mex look and feel. Because of the soft pink shade, this one also has a romantic quality. It looks fabulous paired with jeans and your favorite suede cowboy-inspired booties. Don’t forget an earthy-colored, casual bag to finish off your look!
5. Sleeveless Poncho
This inky black chunky knit poncho is a real statement piece. Slip it over a long-sleeved top and pair it with faux leather leggings for a cool Autumn look.
These 5 ponchos worn with jeans are minimum effort and maximum style. Don’t be left out. Have you bought a poncho this fall? Please send me a photo. I would love to see you in it.

$895.00 for a camel hooded poncho?? A bit steep
Hi Eileen, Every once in a while I like to throw in something I really love even if it is expensive. My readers all have different style budgets. It is a beautiful poncho!
I live in Phoenix and I wear a lot of ponchos. I like them much better than a jacket or sweater. I also wear a lot of ruanas. I have them in cotton and cashmere. I think they look chic and youthful. I am 5’4″ and I tend to wear mine with low heeled boots or booties, but I also wear them with nude flat thong sandals. Just bought some great animal print flats to wear with them .
Hi, I’m with Roxanne (above) I’m only 5’1″ and I’d love to wear a poncho but worry it’s too much bulk for my frame.
I can’t imagine wearing a poncho but then i thought i’d never wear skinny jeans when i first saw them. I do know that there were an awful lot of ponchos at winners a week ago, so i’m not the only one hesitating.
I love the look of a poncho but I am only 5′ tall. I feel like a poncho would swallow me. Is it a good idea for petites?
I love the poncho, but alas, here in Phoenix I rarely get a chance to wear one. I will buy one anyway, just in case we go somewhere cooler!!
I’m absolut in love with ponchos like these.
My fav in your list is the last one from Joie :) but it is a bit tooo expensive for me :)

Can you do more stories with photos of casual outdoor outfits. We are campers, spend alot of time in the RV and I am looking for more ideas for outfits that are appropriate but stylish.
For me, it is a teal blue, Land’s End vest. As soon as it starts to get a bit cool, I pull it out. It looks great with jeans, khakis or slightly dressier black pants. On slightly warmer days, I wear it with a shirt or long sleeve T, and on cooler days, I wear a fine knit wool V-neck or a cotton turlteneck. It is about 5 years old, and I wear it constantly in the fall and spring.
