The Ruana, is a poncho - style outer garment typical of the Andes of Colombia particularly in the Boyacá department and Antioquia. The Ruana is a very thick, soft and sleeveless square or rectangular blanket with an opening in the center for the head. The word Ruana, comes from the Chibcha Ruana meaning 'Land of Blankets' used to refer to the woolen fabrics manufactured by the Muisca people. And it is precisely this garment the focal point of this cool Spring look of a creative young Puerto Rican who re- interpreted the Ruana using it like as a pareo style. Spring it is here in NYC but came coolest than ever but with refreshing and creative looks.
