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. But, aside from all the chic iterations 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. This time, she gives off rugged vibes in all-black accessories.

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.

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.
