A Flattering Way to Wear a Poncho This Season

We've all had that moment either when considering wearing a poncho or purchasing a poncho where we worry that it won't look flattering, but thanks to this street style inspiration, we now have an easy trick for eliminating those concerns. It all boils down to one key accessory that we all already have in our closet: a belt. This key piece will have you wearing your favorite poncho on the regular in no time.

As this street style star shows, a belt comes in handy here by cinching in the waist at the right spot, which allows you to show off your figure. Complete the look with a pair of jeans and loafers for an everyday look, or dress it up, as seen below, with a skirt and over-the-knee boots for work.
