A ruana (possibly from Spanish ruana "ragged" or Quechua ruana "textile") is a poncho-style outer garment native to the Colombian and Venezuelan Andes. In Colombia, the ruana is the characteristic and traditional garment of the department of Boyacá, initially made by indigenous and mestizo people, although it is also made in the departments of Cundinamarca, Antioquia, Nariño, Bogotá, Santander (Colombia), Norte de Santander and Caldas. In Venezuela it is widely used and made in the Andean states of Táchira, Mérida and Trujillo, used since the colonial times by all Venezuelan inhabitants, currently only in the Andean region its traditional use is maintained.
Similar to other poncho-like garments in Latin America, a ruana is basically a very thick, soft and sleeveless square or rectangular blanket with an opening in the center for the head to go through with a slit down the front to the hem. A ruana may or may not come with a hood to cover the head.

I bought this because I saw a blogger I follow wear it (ExtraPetite). It is so soft and cozy, I am currently wearing it for working from home, and it elevates my plain black t-shirt underneath. I bought it in dark grey and beige. They both look great although I’ll probably keep the beige, which is more of a camel color.

This was the perfect addition to my wardrobe staples. It works for cooler summer evenings, a light layer for flights, or over leggings for errands. It was the item I didn’t know I needed, but I’ve worn it non stop.

I buy a new one every year – it is a perfect top layer for Southern Fall and Winter in the Deep South. The material is soft, the fit is flowing and I just love it.

Nice shape and drape, doesn’t overwhelm petite frame. However, material is tissue-thin. Good transitional piece but high price point for material weight.

The ivory is so a pretty and classy looking. Dresses up the outfit. Not heavy or overwhelming for petites. Provides a little warmth but light at the same time.
