The Season Of The Cape
Gwyneth Paltrow
We are experiencing the tricky weather where it is too warm for a big winter coat but too cold for a lighter jacket. Why not wear a cape. Underneath you can wear as many layers as you wish and according to Vogue Magazine it is one of the biggest trends at the moment.
The cape has been seen on the runways by many designers and models including Elie Saab, Hedi Slimane and Mary Janes.
The problem however is, which type of cape is best? There are so many options.
Often the arms are not covered when wearing a cape coat and so a pair of long gloves gives a more sleek and elegant look. The best type of bag to accompany a cape coat is a clutch or below bag as it is difficult to use a shoulder bag.
