Cozying up glamorously with a cape!

If you were thinking about buying yourself a light coat, stop for a minute and take a look at the silhouette that is taking over fall wardrobes: The cape. You probably have seen it before, being flirted with by designers on 2013 and 2014. Blanket capes were made trendy by fashion icons and celebrated equally by the biggest and most affordable brands. This year they remain on the trend radar as the biggest twist to regular fall outwear. It’s easy to see how they’re a smart investment. They’re comfortable and cool enough to hit Vegas streets, can add big glam to anything they’re worn over, and give off a serious air of mysterious sophistication.

They have been spotted adorning catwalks, and can certainly be part of your fall essentials as well. Both brands and designers made it clear how they can adopt different silhouettes, and be effortlessly cozy, glamorously feminine, or even fit and sharp to play like a structured coat.

Capes have transitioned into a variety of styles resembling other autumn basic silhouettes in a fantastic way. The latest and trendiest imitate coats and blazers through classic details: blazer lapels, structured shoulders, faux sleeves and even coat collars. Such design enhancements elevate them, making it exciting to try on formal venues and even to upgrade a regular office array.

Other clever features such as arm slits make them easy and fashionable to move around. They’re an excellent ally to showcase: the best of fall jewelry, fall manicures, embellished cuffs, and even show the perfect clutch to go with them.

The one true thing about capes is they’re versatile and can become a definite piece on your wardrobe. Knee length capes are perhaps the easiest to find. However, all lengths and volumes are found. Cropped capes easily work with pencil skirts and fitted pants. Longer, more dramatic and voluminous capes, which go past the knees even to the ankles, add power to your outfit and are perfect to pair with skinny, wide long pants, long skirts, or long dresses.

Capes are definitely the mandatory piece to wear over fall. They can be the shielded outlet to styling any basic outfit, but can also be sumptuous and make your look dominant and tremendously refined. Pair them with accessories that won’t steal their spotlight. High heels are an excellent choice to elongate the figure and add to the overall glamour that comes along with wearing a cape. Do try them on with sneakers for the weekend. Change the look of a pair of jeans and tee shirt, and turn it all into a super trendy statement that strikes on any Vegas day.
