We don't want to toot our own horns, but as soon as Cara Delevingne debuted the monogrammed Burberry poncho on the Fall '14 runway, we predicted the trend's staying power [1]. But, aside from all the chic iterations [2] we've got on our wish lists for Fall, there are plenty of ways to style your poncho, despite its own statement-making potential.
So we're taking a tip from the stars who've hopped on the personalized Burberry blanket bandwagon and picking up the outfit accoutrements below. Because — whether you tend to lean toward casual, playful looks like SJP or chic, polished ensembles like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Olivia Palermo — your poncho deserves a unique touch; at least, that's what the embroidered initials suggest, anyway.

Sarah Jessica Parker
Leave it to SJP to sport her poncho with punchy brights and a live-in slouch tee.
Cara Delevingne
Cara certainly proves that the colorblock poncho can be worn multiple ways as she strays far from her original runway look [5]. This time, she gives off rugged vibes in all-black accessories.
Elena Perminova
Street style star Elena Perminova makes the ultimate statement in cherry-red over-the-knee lace-up boots and a deep plum fedora that complements the color scheme.
Olivia Palermo
Olivia's poncho outfit is decidedly more casual than her usual looks. With a worn-in lightweight flannel, tweed shorts, and thigh-high boots, we're deeming this Olivia's errand-running getup.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Rosie tends toward her wardrobe staples with luxe suede boots, a camel fedora, and skinny jeans.
Suki Waterhouse
For a supercool day, take a tip from Suki and use your poncho as an extra layer to top off a wool coat and pretty pastel pumps.
