As enveloping as a cloak, it’s the passe-partout we didn’t know we needed.

There are seasons that put us to the test in front of the wardrobe: autumn is one of them.

Too cool to stay in a t-shirt, too early to hide inside a puffer jacket. And yet, feeling elegant when layering sweaters, scarves, and oversized coats seems like an impossible mission.

That’s why the poncho returns, in fact always returns, as the best compromise between practicality and charm. Not just any garment, but an embrace of yarn that accompanies us through the seasonal transition. The catwalks already said it – from Saint Laurent to Isabel Marant – and now confirmation comes from social media, where TikTok has decreed: fall is for poncho.

Autumn 2025 fashion: the poncho is the star of the season.

From trend predictions to OOTDs on Instagram, the poncho is now everywhere.

Perfect for those in September who don’t want to give up shorts and miniskirts, to be worn with biker boots or chunky sneakers. Soft and light in the early weeks of autumn, then more substantial and enveloping as the temperatures drop. A garment that transforms with the climate and the style of the wearer, without ever losing its timeless appeal.

And it’s not just a matter of fashion: the poncho is also democratic. No matter the age, size or personal style: just choose the right model and the perfect color to immediately feel “in the mood” of the season.

The handmade poncho: the crochet piece that becomes iconic

Whether knitted or crocheted, the handmade poncho has an extra edge.

• Soft and light? Then go for natural yarns like Moby or Nirvana, perfect for openwork stitches and fluid creations.
• Warm and cozy for winter? Choose the fullness of yarns like Chuck or Taylor, which with their shades bring movement and character to the garment.
• Chic and fashionable? Go for yarns with a touch of shine like Roxy, ideal for evening ponchos that turn into real statement pieces.

The beauty of the handmade poncho is that it becomes a unique piece: no one else will have your same model, your same mix of colors, your same style.

A palette that speaks of autumn

If TikTok is already talking about “Brown Poncho Fall”, there’s a reason. Chocolate brown, camel, and beige are the undisputed protagonists, together with the classics black and navy blue. But for those who love to dare, there are also burgundy accents, multicolored patterns, and western inspirations.

A true invitation to play with the autumn palette, reinterpreting it according to your personality.

And here comes the most creative part: because the poncho is not just a garment to buy, but an accessory you can make by hand, choosing the right yarns.

Why will we always need it?

The poncho is not a passing trend: it’s an evergreen that comes back cyclically, each time more current. It’s the garment that saves you on “I don’t know what to wear” days, that matches a basic denim as well as an elegant dress, that allows us to be comfortable without sacrificing style.

And you, are you ready to make yours?
