@haddon9 - ITA! I think they're beautiful, but I'm not really a ruana girl. I get cold and couldn't wear this under a coat. I could wear it Sunday mornings over my dress, but I can picture it falling down at the wrong time- and on camera! I'd better stick to my soft jackets! If we went to eat I would look stylish, but where would I put it f the table is small? 

I have a really pretty dark green poncho from the St. Patrick's Day shows. I love it and it keeps me warm. I can actually get away with wearing that and no coat some days. 

 I did find some other items though!

@beach-mom I also have a poncho.  Mine is small & lightweight and since it goes over my head there is no fear of it falling off.  It's also thin enough to easily wear a coat over it.

Those ruanas are stylish looking as long as it stays on!  LOL!

I think it's a great look and I love some of the plaid color choices, but it's not for me.  If I wore that around the house, I could see the fabric falling off of my shoulders particularly if I tried doing anything other than sitting & watching TV or standing still. 

When I'm at home, I'm constantly doing something if I'm not relaxing on the couch watching TV.  I have plenty of throws and fleecy cardigans for TV viewing.  The ruana would just get in my way if I tried doing many things.

I think if you're sitting at a desk for hours it might be good or visiting with people but then how do you wear that under a coat in cold weather?

I think you would wear it over your coat as a scarf. I have seen this done.

@elated Makes sense but I'm not sure if that's something I can pull off.

When I was fat, I went through a phase where a solid top and a ruana was my fall and winter look when I went out, never for around the house.  For me, the ruana hid stuff but there was an issue wearing a coat over it.  I just brought all of my old ruanas to the resale shop a few weeks ago since I haven't worn any of them in three years.  All of the TSV plaids are pretty, but I'm not interested in going back to dressing this way.  

[Caaareful Shopper]

Those are some beautiful plaids, and I usually don't like plaid.

It's so pretty draped over one shoulder.

But I pass.  I don't like fringe, at all.  Plus I can get a no-fringe ruana just like this elsewhere for Black Friday prices quite a bit lower than this TSV.  They're everywhere.

Wow! What they say is true! "Everything old is new again!"  I'm not interested in dressing this way again but if I was, I could do it right from my coat closet!🤣😅😂

while i like the idea of it, it just looks so messy and i feel like i would always be fixing it.  it just seems annoying.  

this was another TSV easy pass for me.

might this be a good choice to pack in my carry-on for our long flights to Thailand? I know it can get chilly on the plane.
