Capes are back in fashion
Not just for Sherlock Holmes or superheroes, capes are making an appearance on the runways as well as on the streets.
Today we look at five good reasons why you should embrace the cape.
A cape is slimming
Unlike a winter coat, capes don’t have the bulkiness that can make you look bigger than you actually are. They sit snugly against your body and are warmer than you may have thought.
A cape can stay on
A coat tends to be removed when you reach your destination. With a cape, you can keep it on to complete your outfit and keep you warm at an outdoor function or dinner party.
A cape is versatile
Capes suit most outfits and if you choose a classic colour it will match nearly anything you have, from blue jeans to a little black dress. You can also choose a bright or bold patterned cape to take an everyday outfit to new fashion heights.
A cape is warm without the bulk
Essentially a cape is a socially acceptable way to wear a blanket in public. You can choose a classic woollen cape to keep you toasty warm as well as fashionable.
A cape is comfortable
Unlike in a bulky coat, your arms are free to pick up bags or drive the car with ease. They also work well when travelling as they can double as a blanket on a train journey or keep you warm in a cool cinema.
