Trendology: Capes (Poncho)

Maybe it's fall and I'm hunting for items for the season, and I came across capes, or poncho if you may say.    There are many different styles of poncho, some with hoods, some just cover half of the body, some are rainproof, etc. Originated from an American traditional wear, poncho, is now became an fashion item, where fashion designers are modifying them into modern style, and in a finer design.  Here are some I found interesting.
