Superhero Status

Let's talk cozy outwear that doesn't have your standard buttons or zippers. I'm talking about capes. Not your Red Riding Hood cape and not your gramma's poncho. Take a look at these beautiful, warm, and chic capes that are easy to get wrapped up in.


What did I tell you? Not your normal cape. This pattern is modern but with warm colors- the perfect blend.

Free People, Ryder Ruana, $49
A beautiful and delicate fringe makes this cape perfect for jeans or leggings.

Madewell, Cape Scarf in Stripe, $79
As one customer review says: "it's a blanket, it's a scarf, it's a cape, it's everything"

I really love this stripe because it reminds me of preppy varsity stripe especially with this beautiful burgundy.

The cape trend can be explained 485 different ways, but for me, it's about casual and beautiful comfort in an otherwise frigid season.

Let's talk capes. I think this outerwear trend is great for the holidays. Throw it on, travel with it, so easy and so versatile no matter what you're wearing.

Forever 21, Hooded Plaid Cape, $54
A simple and quiet plaid that is perfect for a cool afternoon date.

Topshop, Checked Cape, $52
What says fall better than navy and hunter green?

What did I tell you? It goes with anything and everything.

Urban Outfitters, Pattern Border Open Poncho, $79 [sold out! similar]
I'm so glad toggles are back. I love the casual feel of this warm accessory.

So capes. Thoughts? I think its a great way to layer when you have the opportunity to not wear your eskimo suit. Take advantage!

Red Riding Hood

I cannot believe we've gotten this far into winter without talking about capes. A huge mistake on my part. Please forgive me. Now then, I give you the cape. The easiest outer layer there ever was and ever will be. I prefer a darker color with this item because you will get a lot of use out of it so it needs to be versatile with your outfits.

A lovely mix of brown and black. It will go with pretty much anything in your closet.

Forever 21, Femme Boucle Cape, $47
You know Forever 21 is serious when an item costs more then $30. So hold everything kids, this is good stuff.

Macy's, Big Buddha Wrap, $72
A lighter option in a beautiful carmel that is zip and go.

Asos, Bonded Check Cape, $49
I love the plaid peeking out of this cape. The toggles are also a great detail.

It's difficult to find a cape for under $100, and now that it is mid-winter the sales on these items are starting to show. Pick the color and style you are looking for and make sure you don't settle. This style isn't going away, you can find just what you're looking for eventually.
