Clothing in general can be difficult but fun to review because it is so versatile and appeals to so many different tastes. Sometimes there are pieces of attire that come along that draws some extra attention, so we wanted to see if the 3 Way Poncho was one of these. See if you agree.
Overview
As soon as you hear the word poncho, depending on your age, it could take you back to your childhood days when this type of clothing was all the rage. Well they do say history repeats itself, but in this case with this particular piece of clothing it may be that it is giving the poncho a whole new perception. This item of clothing really focuses on being versatile because it allows you to create multiple looks with just one single piece of clothing.
The Claim
According to the company this clothing can be worn in many different settings. They state that it is flattering, has a nice fit to it and comes in a range of sizes from petite to plus sizes.
The Hype
It took a little bit of creativity to produce some hype for the 3 Way Poncho. They really couldn’t rely on it being designer clothing but they did use a celeb like Suzanne Somers to promote it. They were smart and built their hype on other compelling factors that would peak the attention of their target market. This was the first approach to determining the target market. These categories would be women who want office attire, those who are really into casual wear, and then those who want something dressy but affordable and easy to wear. This item of clothing has the right appeal for each of these markets. Then they put the icing on the cake by making it a simple piece of clothing to wear, adjust and care for, and in neutral colors that can be worn for any occasion. Finally when it comes to clothing it is priced right if it delivers on all its promises.
The Cost
For an investment of $27. which includes the shipping and handling the 3 Way Poncho can be yours, and for $34. you can receive an extra one which just includes the pricing for shipping and handling for this extra one.
The Commitment
You are going to have to be a little enthusiastic with matching it up with your other attire, and experimenting with it’s different looks. You really can have fun doing this, and who knows, it may save you some money by not having to go out and buy some extra clothing just to give your basic wardrobe a change in looks and styles.
Evaluation
Versatile clothing is not new but it is gaining in popularity. Promoters of this type of clothing in the past had some big hurdles to overcome. One of them was is that many women simply do not like wearing the same article of clothing repeatedly. They feel that in order to create a new look each day then it requires different apparel. Now with the cost of living being so high, and clothes becoming so expensive, many women are becoming more open minded about multi use clothing and being creative with their accessories. So based on this the timing is really good for the 3 Way Poncho. To prove whether this concept was valid we took a look at other multi tops like the PattyBoutik Multi-Style top, which is close in price, and has about 30 reviews on it, that contributed to its 4.4 out of 5 star rating. This confirms both the interest and acceptance of this type of clothing.
Final 3 Way Poncho Review
We are pleased to give this clothing item a Thumbs Up rating. First we are convinced that versatility in clothing is being well received. This product meets that requirement when you look at the 3 distinct ways that the product can be worn. A casual look is created with just allowing the clothing to fall into it’s natural shape. It is perfect for office by wearing it in a similar fashion but with a skirt or dress pants to complement it. Or simply by sliding it off the shoulder’s slightly it changes the way the hem drapes giving it a more dressy look. Then for evening wear sliding one shoulder off now really does create a classy look that could really be enhanced with some of your accessories.
Our Recommendation
We have found during other clothing reviews that a lot of emphasis is put on clothing that compliments the figure, and is a big concern for women who like to look their best. A good example of this is the Cami Shaper. With the 3 Way Poncho you really don’t have to be concerned about your figure and the fit of the clothing because of it’s loose fit and nice flow.
I love them as far as the material the way it drapes over your body excellent
How do I get the colored ponchos cranberry and the blue
The box says S-L fits 6-14 and XL-3X fits 16-26
I just bought one today. It’s 95% Viscose and 5% Spandex. It is very soft like cotton and quite stretchy.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS TOP!! IT IS SOOO COMFY (THE MATERIAL IS SO LIGHT WEIGHT) AND SO SEXY ON! PLUS IT COVERS MY MUFFIN TOP AND JUST LOOKS GREAT!!! I LOVE IT! P.S. I LOVE IT SO MUCH I LOOKED UP THIS WEBSITE JUST TO COMMENT ON IT!
Hi Debbie,
I bought a black one at Walgreens for $20. Really, really liked it so went on line to order another. I ordered another black and a mocha, and then a window popped up giving me other color options (grey, cranberry, blue, etc.) They also ask you to select other colors you would like to see it made in. Hope that helps.
I got a 3 way poncho last night. I do like the fabric. It’s light and airy. I was expecting a thicker material. I normally wear a medium to large shirt. I purchased the S – L. Goodness I was swimming in the shirt. It felt like I put on 2 XL or larger. It didn’t fit like it does in the commercial. It draped like a large tshirt the one would sleep in. I will try and dress it up with a belt and jewelry tomorrow and see if it’s any better. So far, I’m disappointed. 🙁
I love my 3way poncho I wear a L to XL shirt and ordered the S-L fits perfectly….waiting for the color Cranberry for Xmas!
I bought one and like the concept….loose fitting and longer than a regular top. I don’t mind the fabric although it can not go in the dryer. ( I prefer dryer fabrics.) The other thing I found is the sleeves are quite snug fitting even on the plus size. That could definitely be looser..
They sell them at Wal-Mart and CVS in the As Seen on TV section…..buy, try….keep or return. Yall are really over thinking this product geesh all this cackling over size and material is retarded
I called before I placed my order and was told it is 95% rayon & 5% spandex. The length on sml size is 27″ long front with neck to neck measurement 13.5, and collar front 10″and 12.5 on plus size and selves 15.25″. Hope this helps but after reading all the reviews I am not sure what to expect so I hope I am not disappointed. It was longer on the plus size for length but I forget what. I just hope the 27″ is long enough to reach middle hip as I am 5’5″ so the taller you are the shorter it will be on you but I didn’t want to order the bigger size as I wear a medium.

I had trouble with the size selection also. I wear 1X and am busty and big belly, but if it runs up to a 3X I’m not sure it will hang right. But I’m excited to receive them and we’ll see.
There is supposed to be a 30 day guarantee. So you could send it back if it didn’t fit like you want.
There is one review for this top on a top selling website. And the reviewer said it runs small. I really do want to try this product. I wish it came in different colors other than black and mocha.
I want To buy may a few 3 way poncho.but what is the lenght? I need to know,if i,m tall 6″2 how long it comes down on me or if i,m short 5″2 how long before I buy.
I am between a Large and XL in tops. Can’t decide if I should order the S – L or the XL – 3X — the larger one seems like it would be too big especially since it is a draping kind of shirt. Any suggestions from others who have purchased the 3 Way Poncho?
Thank you for your reviews so glad I read befor I purchase,really don’t like throwing away money. As if she doesn’t have enough money already, then to rip off the little people
Im flip flopping on my review. The fabric, tho im not sure what it is, but it really is great. Not clingy at all, very soft, keeps u cool in the heat. What i dont like is how it fits me huge. Theres only 2 sizes one for small thru large and one for plus sizes. Im normally a medium in my clothing and im in no way petite but the 3way poncho makes me look like im wearing maternity or something. Its a rip off to return it so im going to try having it tailored, take it in a lil to make the waist smaller maybe. :-/
I too was looking for the fabric specifications. If it is a clingy fabric, that sort of defeats the purpose. Another thing not mentioned is the overall dimensions of the poncho. That would give us an idea as to how much room a person might have when trying to decide between the two offerings. If I order a large in misses will it give me ample room? What is the length? As mentioned, their target demographic is to allow women the versatility of wearing an article of clothing. But before I shell out $34 this consumer wants more information!
Why is it, that NOWHERE can i find the fabric content on this clothing product? Not even on their own website! After i spot a cute piece of clothing, the first thing i do is check fabric content. Looking at the little video on their website, the poncho appears to be polyester, acrylic, nylon, acetate, or some blend. All of which, BIG YUCK on both looks and feel. On the other hand, from the drape, it’s possibly rayon, or a rayon/spandex blend. MAYBE even a fine cotton/rayon blend, but those possibilities are not common in an inexpensive garment marketed in this way. Anyone know anything??
Everyone wants a 3 way.
