The $35 Item That Will Make All Your Fall Outfits Cooler

Looking for a game-changing accessory to add to your wardrobe this cold-weather season? What if we told you we know of one that is super cozy, actually useful, statement-making, and just $35? While it may sound too good to be true, it exists thanks to our Who What Wear Fringe Poncho at Target, which, in the words of our co-founders, is “a versatile outerwear option every stylish girl needs this fall.”

And since we’ve already given you an insider look at our moto jacket, midi dress, pajama shirtdress, and bell-sleeve blouse, and more, for the newest installment of our Behind the Seams series, we’re giving you an exclusive peek at the inspiration behind this piece, straight from our co-founders, as well as the real sketch that was drawn for production.

On their inspiration for the piece:

“The Fringe Poncho is the coziest piece we’ve created thus far and definitely a versatile outerwear option that every stylish girl needs this fall. It’s basically the best version of a poncho because it’s lightweight and slightly oversize (so it’s incredibly flattering), and the fringe detail just takes it to the next left. You can style it a million different ways, depending on how you like to wear your fringe, and it might just be the ideal item for all of your holiday travel.” — Hillary Kerr and Katherine Power

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
