Thursday Trend: Capes

In stark opposition to last week, the past few days have been unseasonably warm in New York City.  I take this opportunity as an excuse to ditch your heavy winter jacket, whether it be a pea coat, puffer jacket, or one with toggles, and try out one of this seasons best trends, CAPES!

Capes have been all over the runways but these five looks are my favorite, from left to right: 

Rag & Bone, Derek Lam, Halston , Rachel Zoe, 3.1 Phillip Lim

We have even seen capes on the boys this season: 

Yves Saint Laurent, Salvatore Ferragamo, Moncler Clare Blue and Valentino

Here are my suggestions for the second half of winter:

ONE Etro / TWO Ungaro Vintage / THREE Jane Norman 

FOUR Maria Calderera / FIVE The Outnet / SIX She Inside

To avoid looking like a Marvel Comics superhero I suggest pairing your cap with neutrals and skinny jeans to avoid looking like a tent. They are perfect when the temperature is in the mid 50's, warm but not overpowering, and of course, very stylish!

Will you be rocking a cape this season?
