Traditionally a Serape is a mexican poncho made of brightly-colored wool, usually with fringed ends. Recently, however, the brightly colored stripe print that is prevalent on this traditional garment has been taken and adapted to modern clothing. Gracing everything from swimsuits to shoes this trend has taken hold of the southwest and even made its way into the high-fashion world of Ralph Lauren. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite serape pieces. These pieces are very wearable and can be incorporated into nearly every wardrobe.
At the top of our favorites list is this adorable dress by Rancho Estancia. The short length is offset by a slight a-line cut and 3/4 sleeves that end in a sweet bell. Pair with boots or sandals for a cool summer look, or add tights for a style that can translate straight into fall.
This cool tee with embellished details is casual, cute, and extremely versatile. Pair with jeans or a skirt and some great jewelry for a bright and happy summer look.

Another totally unique piece, this serape and leather handbag is totally handmade for a one-of-a-kind purse that will match everything in your closet.
