What are Ruanas?

A ruana is essentially a large piece of fabric that falls down the back, over the shoulders, and down the front. Ruanas don’t have sleeve closures. Instead, the garment drapes over the shoulders and is kept in place with your arms, making it easy to put on and take off. You can wear this top open or wear it with a belt for a more cinched look.

Difference Between Ponchos & Ruanas

Ponchos and ruanas are a great way to add some layered mystery and flow to your outfit. Both are trendy tops with no signs of going away anytime soon. But there are a few differences to take note of.

Much like a ruana, a poncho is made from a single piece of fabric with a hole for the head. The main difference is that ruanas have a slit down the front from the neck to the hem, while a poncho does not. For additional warmth and style, a poncho can be worn over a long sleeve t-shirt or another sweater. A ruana is often worn to replace a cardigan, especially when it’s warm out. It can also be worn over a dress on formal occasions.

When to Wear Them

Cozy and colorful, ruanas are the ultimate year-round cover-up. However, most women prefer to wear it during the spring or summertime, so you can always find lightweight options in appealing colors. If you want to wear it during the fall or winter season, we recommend bundling up by wearing a long sleeve top underneath it and outerwear as needed.

How to Style Women’s Ruanas

Imparting an elegant finishing touch to an outfit for casual or dressy venues is as simple as layering on a ruana. Headed to the office? Try giving your work attire a contemporary twist of sophistication with a ruana. This will add a light layer over your short sleeve blouse and skirt. If you’re going out for a casual dinner with friends, simply throw it on over a plain white tee and jeans. Late night festivals and concerts require clothing that you can freely move about in. Try pairing your ruana with women's shorts and a crop top in your favorite color. No matter how you choose to style your look, you'll be dressed to impress everywhere you go!

Other Tops You’re Sure to Love

Top off any look with a timeless women's blouse or shirt. When paired with a skirt, jeans, shorts, or other styles of bottoms, the perfect shirt or top can create a complete look for any occasion. Off-the-shoulder tops can be dressed up or down, offering versatility that is unmatched. For even more of an on-trend summer look, try a crop top. Crop tops are cut short at the bottom hem, keeping part of the midriff exposed. If you prefer to keep it casual, then the simple style of a graphic tee cannot go unmentioned. Ideal on its own or as a layering piece, a graphic tee offers personality to your outfit, while keeping you comfortable all day long.
