How To Style An Alpaca Ruana For Halloween
It is that time of the year again! Time to decorate the front yard for Halloween and put up the pumpkins, spiders, cauldrons, and lights to usher in the spookiness and enjoy a night of pranks and fun costumes. If you’re taking the kids out trick or treating this Halloween, why not do it in style, in a warm ruana?
Cozy ruanas are the perfect fit for chilly October weather. This thick and soft South American cousin of a poncho drapes down to one’s knees and flatters all body types, making it suitable for every woman on the block. Shop for authentic women's alpaca capes & ruanas to wear this Halloween and we’ll teach you a few styling tips to pull them off for your figure and body type.
Remember a ruana is versatile but that does not mean you look sloppy in it. Check out these styling tips.
Style 1: Ruana With Classic Blue Jeans, Boots, and A Pointed Witch’s Hat
If you are above average height this should be your Halloween look. Put on your best blue jeans (mom or skinny), and a pair of knee-high black or brown boots (match it with the ruana color), wear a witch’s pointed hat and you are all set to rock the block. You could try a belt to cinch in the waist, some really fun jewelry, and a bright, bold lip color. Our Celtic Reversible Ruana Red fits the bill for this look. You could also try the Treasurer Ruana for a splash of color.
Style 2: Ruana, T-shirt, Leggings and A Cowboy Hat
Pair your ultimate comfort clothes, a favorite pair of thick leggings and a classic white or black tee, with a ruana that’s lightly draped over your shoulders. Use a brooch to pin the ruana to your tee for a more formal look or just enjoy the vibe with a casual drape. Pair with big earrings, a cowboy hat and should you try a pair of fringed boots for that extra country vibe? Our Pyramid Ruana will elevate this look perfectly. The Reversible Ruana Red also works wonders.
Style 3: Maxi Dress And A Flowing Ruana
nnel your inner Boho chic with a loose-fitting maxi dress and an elegant alpaca ruana like our Venetian Ruana. Style with an elegant neckpiece, and bracelets. Throw on a pair of strappy heels for a complete look. Adorn your fingers with rings and carry a chic handbag. You could also choose the Reversible Ruana White from our range of alpaca ruanas for women.
Style 4: Blouse, Trousers, Belt And A Draped Ruana
For a cozy look, pair a silky blouse in a soft neutral shade with high-waisted tailored trousers in a complementary color, like charcoal or navy. Layer a lightweight ruana over the outfit, draping it loosely over your shoulders for a relaxed, chic vibe. Cinch the waist with a sleek belt to add definition and shape to the flowing layers of the ruana. Finish the outfit with classic loafers or low heels and minimal jewelry for a sophisticated, effortless style that's perfect for both work and casual outings. The Gypsy Ruana from our collection of alpaca ruanas for women is a great option for this get-up.
Style 5: Ruana, Long Skirt, And Wide-Belt
Invest in a long fringe skirt and a high-necked sweater. Drape on any ruana from our women's alpaca capes & ruanas range and secure with a brooch or pin. Pair with pumps, a sling bag, and a pop of color on your lips. Accessorize with bold silver jewelry, such as a statement pendant or rings, and dark makeup with a smoky eye or bright lipstick for a mysterious vibe.
