With the change in seasons, statement outerwear is about looking effortlessly sleek and polished. For a dramatic and versatile look this fall, drape a cape over your shoulders. Fashionable enough to make a style statement, but functional enough to keep you warm, a tasteful cover-up is the perfect piece for the transition from warm to cold weather.
There are cape styles to suit every personality. Full length capes provide drama and lends to a commanding night look. A structured wool cape can top off a blouse, skirt, tights, and ankle booties. Shorter capes known as “capelets” or a draped shawl compliment cocktail dresses and are full of movement and personality.
A well constructed cape can flatter any body type. Perfectly paired with flared trousers or a little black dress, a cape is a refined and easy style choice that goes from day to night with no adjustments required. To avoid getting your shape lost in the folds of the fabric, a belted style will bring the cape in at the waist, for a favorable hourglass silhouette. Emphasize the shape of the cape by wearing slim fitted pants or a pencil skirt.
For a simple and sophisticated cape, try Calvin Klein’s double breasted belted wool cape or drape on a cape from Rag & Bone for more of an urban edge.
