The poncho is a must-have item for your closet this winter. During New York Fashion Week, designers Alexander Wang and Joseph Altuzarra incorporated the poncho trend into their runway shows, so it looks like this piece will be in style next season as well. A twist on the lighter weight autumnal versions, the winter poncho should be fashioned out of a heavier material, like velvet or fur, with longer sleeves that will keep you extra cozy. The poncho is the epitome of high-end comfort: it adds an extra layer of urban style to any look and allows you to stay stylish and keep warm.

The shawl collar and button cinching the waist refine her casual style and give it a luxe update.
