Maybe you have been browsing the internet lately and you see some of your favourite instagrammers and fashion icons bundled up in a poncho. With the fall season just around the corner, you may be looking for a new style to stay warm and chic in. Nothing is better for this season than a poncho.
In this article we will introduce you to the wonderful world of ponchos so you can stay warm and stay up on the trends.
What are ponchos?
A poncho or sometimes called a shawl, is a garment that you wear over top of your clothes, draped over your shoulders to be exact. The poncho hangs from your body to give you a snug outfit that is super cute. You can have a closed poncho that wraps all the way around or one that opens in the front. Either way it's a fun way to play around with layering and colours.
The poncho is particularly great for the fall season because it keeps your shoulders and back warm without it becoming too hot like a jacket. It can also be folded up when not in use so it is very convenient to take with you. Plus they are lightweight and soft unlike a jacket so it's perfect for those chilly fall days.
Alpaca Wool
At Bellepaga, our ponchos are made out of alpaca wool which has an enormous amount of advantages. Starting with the warmth, alpaca wool is 7 times warmer than traditional sheep’s wool. It is also incredibly soft to the touch and will not scratch even if you have sensitive skin. It is also very durable and up to 4 times more resistant than sheep wool. Alpaca wool is the only wool that does not pill so you can wear your poncho many times.
The alpaca wool is hypoallergenic and does not contain lanolin, the chemical that normally causes wool allergies. It is also thermoregulatory which means that it will keep you warm in the cold and keep you from getting too hot when it's warm outside. This is why it is a perfect material for ponchos and the fall season. The poncho will not make you overheat like a jacket will.
