Capes/Ponchos continue on trend this autumn.

If you a looking to freshen your wardrobe for the coming season and keep warm on those chilly summer evenings buy a cape or a poncho. I predict that they will be two of the biggest trends for A/W 2015.

In my opinion they can be worn by most women. If you are petite don’t choose a very voluminous version. Stripes, plaids, neutral or a strong colour, whatever takes your fancy. There are plenty of styles on offer at a variety of price ranges.

The moonlight blue poncho I am wearing is by Winserlondon. It is also available at John Lewis.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

That's such a lovely color on you! Winser London has some really beautiful pieces.

I love ponchos, and haven't had one in my wardrobe in some years. This may be the season that I bite.

Just purchased a lovely Scottish cashmere poncho that is versatile enough to wear backwards (V opening) front wards (traditional horizontal opening) and scrunched as a comfy F/W scarf. Used it as lightweight, cozy cover-up on plane & during trip for cozy coverup. From French company run by retired model Linda Wright. At http://www.crimson.cashmere.com There is even a video online that shows how to reconfigure this lucious, soft, comfort wear to how ever one wants to wear it. And no, I am not an advertiser, just a very satisfied customer! Thanks for th great blog; I check it everyday.

You look so gorgeous in this blue cape. I love it. There are some stunning cape designs for Fall...I saw a gorgeous tweed and winter white. But, you own this blue Josephine!

You are stunning in blue. I love capes, and have plenty to choose from in my closet. They are an easy way to layer and add so much fun to any ensemble.
