Outerwear is a crucial component in every Fashionista’s wardrobe and yet, we find it difficult to be unique and stylish while staying warm. A favorite among many Fashionistas is the cape coat. The cape silhouette is a chic alternative to a basic layer and can be found in both coat and poncho versions. This chic outerwear option has been flying through the city streets like a hero on a mission. Are you ready to explore some Little Red Riding Hood meets superhero street style?
Capes are an essential cover up in fashion-forward street style. The effortlessly draped outerwear has the ability to transform a casual outfit to something amazing in no time flat. Not to mention it’s perfect for transition periods where the weather holds a strong influence on our stylistic decisions.
Everyone has their own style and lucky for us, there are creative cape options for every Fashionista. A tailored cape coat can be paired with some chic over-the-knee boots for a glamorous approach. A cape in a bold color or pattern partnered with a sleek black on black ensemble is sure to make a statement. A boho poncho is a dramatic addition to any look. Some basic skinny jeans and a chic pair of booties keeps it looking put-together.
Many Fashionistas are nervous about pulling off this simple look. Avoiding the “superhero costume” appearance is fairly simple, actually. Lean towards capes in neutral colors such as black, gray or beige if you are searching for something versatile. Nervous about resembling a tent? Never fear, the skinny jean is here! Pairing a loose poncho cape with a tight pant balances your figure out making you look as invincible as a superhero.
