Are you looking for that perfect fall outfit? One that just says, hey, the weather is cooler and I am loving it?! This poncho sweater outfit will serve you now and into the winter.
Since I’m always on the hunt for something a little different, I was intrigued when I saw this sweater. I immediately thought of a jillion ways to style it. Basic black makes it even better.
Turtleneck Poncho Sweater Outfit
Jeans look amazing with almost any color, and especially with black. Denim and black give an outfit that simple “French style” that always looks just right. A look that is always stylish, regardless of current fashion trends. This poncho is a super cute example of that simple yet classic style.
The turtleneck poncho sweater
There is just something about a turtleneck that says classic, don’t you agree? Think Audrey Hepburn. Can ‘t get much more classic than that. When you combine that classic turtleneck with a poncho style, it gives it a current look as ponchos tend to trend every fall and winter. You can’t go wrong with a poncho for cooler weather as they are both fashionable and functional.
This sweater is a medium weight which works well for me in our milder climate. For colder weather, a long sleeve tee or fitted Henley in a warm fabric is a great way to style this and keep you warm.
The booties and bag
Ah, for the want of an inexpensive yet stylish AND comfortable pair of booties! This pair, by BC, or Born in California is a great option. The plain style with the higher shaft lengthens your legs without a crazy-high heel height, which works for me! The “vegan” material keeps the cost down and the suede makes them look rich. They look amazing with pants, skirts, and dresses. And they are the perfect accompaniment to this poncho sweater outfit.
One of my sidekicks, Sergeant, loves to be in photos! He has been a wonderful addition to our family after coming to us from the nearby shelter almost one year ago. We adore him!
There are so many darling vegan bags to shop for, at affordable prices, making it hard to pass them up. I picked this one up at my favorite shoe store in Laguna Beach. If you’re in the area, you don’t want to miss a trip to Laguna, and you definitely don’t want to miss a visit to Tootsies for shoes and bags. The owner, NeNe, has a great eye and the cutest things! I’ve been looking for a stylish black bag, and I love the touch of cognac. But honestly, you can make any black bag look great and complement an outfit by tying a contrasting scarf around the handle. This paisley scarf adds continuity to this solid-color outfit and creates interest.
The jeans
You’ve seen these jeans before (check them out here) and I like them a lot. But you just need to find the ones that fit you best and make you look fabulous! If you want a smooth line, check out the high-waist versions. You can find very nice ones at Target–take a look here–or designer ones like this. And here is a mid-priced designer version.
The tortoiseshell earrings
Tortoiseshell earrings add a wonderful fall touch to any outfit and the color is neutral so goes with most everything. They also connect well with the cognac in the bag and the tan in the scarf to help tie the pieces together. I featured some nice tortoiseshell earring in this post.
Fall is here and Halloween is Coming!
In just 20 days, it will be Halloween! And shortly thereafter, it will be Thanksgiving, for those of us in the US. Can you believe it? So I have decorated my porch with the obligatory pumpkins. I also added these gorgeous marigolds to my pots to really show some fall style. The bright colors are so pretty for fall! I tend to change out my flowers as the seasons change. Do you do the same?
You can see how easy it is to style a poncho sweater outfit, probably using the basics you already have in your closet. Or, you might want to add or refresh some items. But you most definitely must try a poncho this fall!
Wishing you all a wonderful day, my friends! Thanks for stopping by.
Audrey Hepburn is one of my favourite style icons so I adore this style! Love your front steps too – so festive xx
Hi Maria,
Is she the epitome of classic, or what?! And classy, too. Thanks for the nice comments–yes, Autumn is here so it’s time to roll out the pumpkins, isn’t it?
Have a great week!

Love denim and black together, and the poncho looks so comfortable! Visiting from Fun Fashion Friday 🙂
Hi Candi,
Well, thanks for stopping by! And the poncho is very comfy and cozy, but not too heavy!
