Iconic Poncho

Iconic piece of the Maison, the MAX&MOI women’s poncho sweater is renewed season after season. A true must-have, it stands out as a wardrobe essential that flatters every silhouette. Spotlight on this emblematic model from the MAX&MOI collections.

Depending on the season, it appears in a soft wool and cashmere blend accented with a contrasting leather collar, or in sublime silk with a fluid, airy drape. In winter, it may feature a Furever faux fur-lined collar, take the form of a loose zip-up poncho cardigan enhanced with leather bands in an ultra-contemporary style, or appear in a creative jacquard knit with boho-chic accents and braided finishes. Each season, Emma Lederer, Artistic Director of the Maison, reinvents this iconic model by experimenting with materials and textures, skillfully combining cashmere, knit, leather, and silk.

How to wear the poncho or cape all year round

Cosy and comfortable, the poncho is a true must-have for any wardrobe, in both winter and summer. In autumn and winter, it’s the perfect alternative to a sometimes bulky long coat or an overly warm Furever faux fur puffer, and the ideal complement to a cashmere sweater or leather perfecto. In warmer months, it becomes a light and flowing piece that can be easily worn over a silk dress, loose trousers, directly on the skin, or over a swimsuit.

This essential, loved by all types of women and flattering to every silhouette, has the power to transform an outfit elegantly. It’s perfect for adding a modern, stylish touch while remaining comfortable and protective.

The Poncho: Winter Wardrobe Essential

With a hood, high collar, long or ¾ sleeves, the poncho wraps the silhouette in comforting softness and refined elegance. A true ally of the winter wardrobe, it is perfect for layering—worn over a leather jacket or under a roomy coat or puffer—and stands out as the chic and cosy alternative of the season. Depending on how it’s styled, it works equally well for dressier occasions—with a cashmere or silk skirt—or for more casual moments, worn over jeans or leather or cashmere leggings.

The Poncho: a loose-fitting garment between a cape and a cardigan

Whether it’s a cashmere poncho sweater, a cape, or a large, protective-feeling scarf, it is a loose-fitting garment that falls along the body, flaring out more or less. It is therefore recommended to pair it with more fitted pieces to balance its shape.

In winter, the women’s poncho pairs beautifully with tapered pants and snow boots for a modern take on winter sportswear, with a cashmere pencil skirt to twist classic chic, or with stretch leather leggings for a sporty yet elegant look. In warmer months, it can be worn with silk trousers or suede pants for a refined boho-chic silhouette. Easy to style, the women’s poncho transcends trends and can be worn with (almost) anything, effortlessly upgrading all your outfits.

A loose-cut poncho offering relaxed elegance and comfort

At the crossroads between a women’s cashmere cardigan, a loose sweater, an XXL scarf, a wool coat, and a tied cape, this wardrobe essential—drawn from Seventies influences and exuding effortless style—drapes elegantly and adds a touch of ease to your wardrobe. Its loose cut is often enhanced with side slits for absolute comfort.

The poncho: a timeless must-have

Inspired by ethnic style and the iconic Californian fashion of the 1970s, the poncho is a wardrobe staple for women. In spring as in autumn, this essential is brought out whenever the weather turns cool, whether for slightly chilly summer evenings or harsh winters.

MAX&MOI presents this iconic piece through a wide collection of styles and colors, renewed with each collection. The range includes luxurious women’s poncho sweaters, capes, and cardigans, blending cashmere essentials with more distinctive pieces in creative knits or silk, in timeless shades such as beige, gray, blue, and white, or in more vibrant colors suited to each season’s inspirations.

The poncho showcases the Maison’s artisanal expertise

Carefully crafted from exceptional natural materials—cozy and warm for winter, light and airy for summer—the MAX&MOI women’s poncho embodies the Maison’s commitment to craftsmanship. This expertise is reflected in the selection of the finest natural fibers (cashmere, wool, silk), the development of exclusive stitches, and meticulous finishing touches: leather panels, silk details, and Furever faux fur.

The iconic MAX&MOI poncho transcends seasons and trends. Reinterpreted with each collection using new materials, exclusive colors, and ultra-contemporary designs, it remains a timeless essential of the women’s wardrobe.
