Ponchos, capes, and scarves are especially popular in autumn and winter. But they're also the ultimate fashion accessory in spring, when temperatures are just beginning to rise, and on cool summer evenings. Why? Quite simply: they keep us warm while being wonderfully uncomplicated and comfortable, and they can easily elevate any outfit. Special nursing ponchos and scarves offer breastfeeding mothers an additional advantage: they protect them from prying eyes while breastfeeding in public and shield the baby from distractions, allowing it to nurse peacefully.
Even during pregnancy, it's worth investing in stylish nursing ponchos or scarves as a fashionable must-have for every look and occasion. And even after breastfeeding, these multifunctional scarves can easily be worn again.
Difference between a nursing poncho, nursing cape and nursing scarf
You might be wondering what exactly distinguishes a nursing poncho from a nursing cape or a nursing scarf. While capes and scarves are simply draped over the shoulders, ponchos have a neckline and are pulled over the head. What all three items have in common, however, is that they are incredibly practical and comfortable, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Their loose fit doesn't restrict movement, and they are perfect for trendy layered looks.
Knitted ponchos for pregnancy and breastfeeding
Made from cuddly soft knit fabric, our nursing ponchos and scarves offer you a particularly cozy feeling on cold days. But not just for you, but also for your baby, as you can spontaneously use these cozy knitted scarves as a snuggle blanket anytime, whether you're out and about in the car, in the stroller, or at home on the sofa or in the bassinet. If needed, our stretchy knitted ponchos can even be used as swaddles.
Styling a nursing poncho: Wide at the top, tight at the bottom
Nursing ponchos are incredibly versatile and go with almost any look. Wear them casually with jeans and sneakers or boots for a relaxed everyday look while shopping or strolling. For dinner or a party, your knitted poncho pairs perfectly with skinny jeans and high heels. Knitted ponchos look especially elegant when worn with outfits from the same color family; warm earth tones are currently very popular. Ponchos or capes look particularly feminine when combined with over-the-knee boots. This styling option is also frequently seen on the runways of major fashion shows.
There's only one rule you should always follow when styling ponchos, capes, and nursing scarves: if it's loose on top, then fitted on the bottom. To prevent your poncho or scarf from adding bulk and making you look shorter or wider than you are, it's best to combine it with skinny jeans or leggings. Our tip for large nursing scarves: accentuate your empire waist with a belt worn over the scarf; this will give you a flattering silhouette despite the wide fabric.
