‘Fit of the Day: Plaid Poncho

Noel Fielding once said, “It’s impossible to be unhappy while wearing a poncho!” I have no idea who Noel Fielding is… besides the fact that his Wiki entry says he is a “British surrealist, comedian, actor, DJ and music artist”. Whatever his credentials be… he sure is right! I wore this number on a particularly cold day, and minus the sockless Toms (I couldn’t pull off Toms with socks), I was absolutely toasty. Best things about wearing a poncho: 1) In class, it doubles as a comfy blanket 2) In the wind, you can essentially fly. More importantly, in 2010, ManRepeller (AKA my idol/role model) listed a Plaid Poncho as number 1 in “Three Accessories That Will Instantly Desexify Your Look

Obviously great minds think alike.

Moral of the story is: ponchos are warm, fuzzy, and fabulous. Who cares if you repel men? Youre comfy as fuck, and when it comes down to it, that’s all that matters.

Plaid poncho: Uniqlo
Herringbone knit pants: H&M
Orange umbrella: NYU freebie I obviously took advantage of.
