CAPE; THE IT TREND

From the runway to the real way, the cape is back to take fashion’s top spot for winter accessory

Dress up your fall/winter wardrobe without feeling overdressed in a classic or printed cape. This trending style comes in countless colors, shapes, prints and more. Not to mention it’s the perfect way to add a little glam to your colder weather essentials. Today’s designers have brought back this timeless silhouette for many reasons, function and wearability being two important factors. With newer and more practical designs, the slits in the arms of capes made this outerwear option even more popular than history can recall. Now some of you may feel that the cape shape is unflattering, but the key to oversized fit is to pair it with slim fitting pants to emphasize the shape. I recommend keeping the color pallet neutral or monochromatic. And lastly, keep your shape less busy with a skinny black jean or dark denim, and consider a tall, slimming boot. Enjoy!
