Trolling OAK NYC's website for products that may be at their upcoming sample sale, I came upon this little gem.
It's a modern take on the classic Mexican-American cowboy poncho. The cut is daring but simple. This piece can easily be worn on the street without creating too much fuss. I mean, it looks like a sweatshirt that was cut up so that you lost the sleeves. But at the same time, it's interesting enough that you know that wearing this to fashion week will make you a street style blogger super star.
The only struggle I have about adopting this item into my closet is how I will incorporate this into the rest of my look since. Being vertically-challenged, I'm afraid that this might make me look like a toddler dressed up as a superhero. Not that there's anything wrong with hyperactive imaginations. But it's something I will definitely need to try on and decide at the store.
See you at the sample sale.
YES
This poncho-hoodie hybrid packs a 1, 2, ponch!
NO
Your multi-color woven jute poncho you got from Cancun during spring break many years ago doesn't count. You should have left it on the other side of the Rio Grande.
MAYBE
You have chronic beer belly-itis and you've been wearing black ponchos and smocks to hide your girth. You're ahead of your time.
