For me, this trend really reminds me of being a kid. I had a cape my Mother made for me that I wore in the summer, in in the winter, and a relative knitted me a poncho. They're basically big blankets, only these are totally acceptable to wear in public.
Of my current real life wardrobe, I have a two-print reversible oversized scarf/serape. It's too light for winter, but as it warms up again I've begun to wear it more and more. I also have a long black thick mock-cape, which has the look of a cape but is a lot more practical because it has 3/4 length sleeves instead of just armholes, which is really great for cold days.
Ponchos and serapes can be tied so many different ways, they can be turned into a scarf, draped, tied, folded...there's so many options!
I really love oversized scarves as well, and they're pretty much my winter staple. They're also really fun to style and one scarf can be so quickly used to make a whole new look just by tying it up differently. The issue with them though is that they're no good for transitioning into the new season., and the oversized look tends to come and go a lot.
Right now, most are striped, colour blocked, or tartan. I'd really love to see some more colours and styles but it's only a fairly new trend right now, so we'll see what time brings.
