I see lots of people wearing them and it makes my mind race back to the 70s.

not for a bloke john! not now, not ever!

Paul, you might like one from here: www.theponchoshop.*co.uk

Think it's the present fashion, John. Paula tells me that there's a great demand for them in the shop, we simply can't get them in fast enough. Philip

Im not wearing one, It'll look like a blooming tent on me lol. Looks better on slim gals E x

Apparently so but I wont be wearing one,I dont want to look like the man with no name!!

i cant stand them!!!! But i love the cowboy boots that are in fashion, im buying a pink pair!!! xx

I think theyre horrible, i can remember having a multi-coloured crocheted one in the 70's. My 2 daughters went mad for one a few weeks ago cos all the kids are wearing them now. Steedie the pink cowboy boots sound the biz :-)

they are...there absolutley gorgeous!!!! Might get a cowgirl outfit to go with em!! lol, well actually i have to anyway, as im dressing up as a cowgirl at my fellas fancy dress xmas do!! xxx

If I'm right, the ones in fashion today are a lot shorter than the ones we used to wear. Mine used to come nearer my knees than my waist and worn with long flowy skirts rather than jeans. I think they look really cute on little girls but just too short on anyone over the age of 10 or so - they don't look quite right - but perhaps that's my brain in a time warp! Magsx

I've got 2 poncho's that are so so snuggly and i was sad enough to some them first time round too!! Cowboy boots don't do it for me as i too had those first time round and feel a bit mutton dressed as lamb in them!!

yes and i am selling abercrombie and fitch ones for £20 if you want one !

My Mother knitted me one in the seventies. It was brown and orange. Don't think I'll be giving up my fleece though. They're far too draughty for me!

Sean.... what are they like? what colours etc?

My three year old thinks she looks fab in hers, infact she has several. She got her first one last winter from Accessorize and its gorgeous, must admit I have a couple too :-) Dawn x

Takes my mind back to the war days. A poncho was a part of my army kit and kept everything dry when on the march, including pack and rifle. The rim of a tin hat on one's head acted as a small umbrella and kept drips from the neck area. It made a good groundsheet and one could alternativly fashion a small tent out of it. When not in use, it rolled up quite small. Len

The one I wore as a child was white with blue & red stripes round the bottom, very patriotic! E x ((((BLUSH)))))

I used to have two of them in the seventies but I was only about 10 at the time and my Mum croceheted them for me. I actually quite like them specially the pink ones. I lurrrve pink I have pink boots, coats , tops, shoes. I'm all for pink! I have enough coats and jackets though, more than I can wear now so I probably won't get one. Gaynor :-)

went to pick up my son from school the other day. the amount of mothers wearing ponchos, it was like a scene from " gunfight at the ok corral ". they don't look good on anyone except small children. don't be fashion victims! apparently they will be out of fashion by xmas. save your money and buy something that suits.

A shell suit?
