What is hip? A cute color block crop poncho with twisted fringe for a nice finish and a fun attitude. Easy lace and eyelet sections add depth, texture, and variety. The fringe is created using the unravel method, a simple technique resulting in consistent lengths to twist. Versatile styling allows you to wear the garment as a boat neck or V-neck, resulting in a different appearance depending on which you prefer. If you are seeking your inner hipster, look no further.
