Capes are back! Here's our favourite way to style this trend
The cape is perfect for fall's unpredictable temperatures. Style this spotlight-stealing piece with ease thanks to our tips.
If you've ever thought about buying a cape but held off because it felt a little too dramatic, we're begging you to reconsider. Here's how to style this fall's sleeker version to look like a superstar, and less like a superhero.
The Cape
Due to its petite size, you can toss this capelet on like a scarf—and instantly make everything at least 20 percent more chic. Satin cape, $409, tedbaker.com.
The sweater
A textured top adds balance to the cape's luxurious high-shine fabric. Merino-wool sweater west, $98, roots.ca.
The skirt
Capes add enough bulk, so it's important to keep things simple and streamlines on the bottom. Pencilsskirt, $160, bananarepublic.com.
The shades
Sporting a contemporary pair of sunglasses will help modernize the cape's vintage silhouette. Mirrored aviator sunglasses, $20, lechateau.com.
The Earrings
Stacked gold and silver circles make these hoops twice as nice. Earrings, $75, jenny-bird.ca.
The bag
Skip cross-body bags and hefty carryalls. Instead grab an oversize clutch. Leather bag, $188, roots.ca.
The bracelet
Keep jewellery minimal, because a cape is enough of a grand gesture. Faux-gold cuff, $50, bananarepublic.ca.
The shoes
Sophisticated and sexy, the ladylike pointy-toed stiletto is universally flattering. Shoes, $110, aldoshoes.com.
