During festival season, one emerging fashion trend caught me eye: boho chic ponchos.
Then I noticed Love Island contestants rocking them as swimsuit cover-ups and couldn't scroll a few videos on TikTok without seeing someone style the accessory.
Real baddies have been wearing ponchos since the early aughts (bonus points if you paired them with plaid Bermuda shorts – you know the ones), but recently, they've gotten a stylish update just in time for summer.
These trendy summer ponchos fit right in with the 60s- and 70s-inpsired boho chic resurgence we've seen this season, boasting details like fringe, sequin, and crochet.
You can pretty much wear a summer poncho with any outfit, too, whether it's day or night.
Layer one atop a tank top paired with a linen skirt or jeans. Heading to the beach? Ponchos are the perfect chic cover-up, especially when styled with a headscarf and dangly earrings.
Once the warm weather begins to fades, you don't have to retire your trendy poncho, because they happen to make an ideal summer-to-fall transition piece.
Your summer wardrobe isn't complete without a poncho. Shop trendy and chic options from Edikted, Amazon, Free People, and more.
