Superhero Style: 8 Reasons To Invest In A Cape This Winter

Reason # 3 – They look good with everything. Literally.

Fashion capes are so chic they go with just about everything. A cape with skinny jeans and thigh-high boots is a no-brainer, but they look just as good with skirts or a dress this season too. It’s okay for capes to steal the spotlight from your other items of clothing but the number one rule is they should complement whatever you are wearing underneath. Oh, and make sure you carry a tote or clutch as shoulder bags tend to slide off in this instance.

Reason # 4 – Layers, layers, layers.

The super stylish cape is the perfect item to have when it comes to layering. The cape doesn’t add too much bulk, however is still practical in that it will keep you just as warm. Layering is key for cape-wearing and the more layers the better we say! Layer over your leather jacket or blazer for maximum results.
