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:
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?

I think that wool capes in neutral hues are SO pretty — but they just don’t keep me warm enough in the winter!

I’ve been wanting a cape forever but never found one that wasn’t weirdly too tiny or swallowed me up – love these looks though!

I like #5! I often think capes make people look bigger than they are but perhaps with skinny jeans and heels they could be more flattering!
