Though cardigans, shawls, and ponchos can be worn throughout the year, they are especially useful as the weather turns cooler. What’s more they add style to an outfit through texture and color; and all have been trending for some time. In this post, there are links to 100+ options from black owned brands for men and women to fit one’s body type, taste, budget, size, and occasion. See the company and products links below for more information.
