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

Reason # 5 – Every day is a cape day!

Capes can be worn from office to bar, day to night and Summer to Winter (or on a boat!); it is the most transitional item of clothing you could possibly own. Capes can transform even the simplest of outfits into an effortlessly cool look in seconds and are extremely versatile. Dress up with a pencil skirt and knee high boots or wear casually with a pair of jeans and a knitted jumper, this trend has staying power.

Reason # 6 – Nothing says “on trend” than a celeb following like this

The cape has slowly been making its way onto the shoulders of all the best dressed fashion forward ladies like Nicole Richie, Olivia Palermo, Sarah Jessica Parker, Blake Lively and Miranda Kerr, even Audrey Hepburn was a huge fan of the cape! During fashion week we saw too many capes to count come down the runways, but our favorites were Ralph Lauren and Burberry.
