It’s time to channel your inner superhero, and rock a cape! This trend appeared on the runways of Derek Lam and Tibi, and we couldn’t be more excited. It’s so versatile, chic and effortlessly glamorous. Here’s how to style this must-have item.
Fall fashion
Avoid anything bulky underneath — sweaters, sweatshirts or a crazy amount of layers. Bulky items will add too much weight and heaviness to your silhouette. It’s best to try a thin sweater up-top and a streamline pant on the bottom, like a straight-leg trouser.
For the office
A cape is so easy to dress up for the office. Have an important client meeting? Wear a bold cape over a classic sweater, a pair of slim black trousers and a pointy shoe that will elongate your body, and you’ll be set to impress!

For the weekend
There’s nothing cozier than wrapping yourself in a cape with a cute blouse, jeans and riding boots for those lazy Saturdays.
