i have one from vince that i basically lived in last winter. but most of the time i wore it at home (since my apt was freezing). is it at home only this year?
My friend has a vintage one that she wears all the time. I think it's still hip to wear unique ones that reflect your own personal style however you want. Not so much the trendy mass-produced ones.

I don't think we'll see many of the longer, more tent-like, ponchos. I do think the shorter ones still look nice if they kind of hit right around the elbow. They are good for fall when it isn't yet cold enough to wear a full coat.
