sleeves are so last year

This Autumn, I am loving my new best friend, the elegant cape.

May sound like a super-hero fashion term to some, but in reality, it's taking over the runway & winter drobe and is another must-have this eason.

They are super versatile and although they are sleeveless- they still keep you warm and fuzzy on those winter days! Before venturing out in search for your cape, there are a few things to take into consideration!


1. Make sure it is structured and sits perfectly on your shoulders to avoid looking like the hunchback from notre dame.

2. Go for oversize, but not SUPERsize. Look specifically at the cut and a range of sizes as if you are petite/tiny, you may be look a little engulfed, but don't keep it too small, you still need room for movement and freedom!

3. To avoid looking bulky, keep your underlay/rest of your outfit neat and streamlined. Opt for skinny jeans, leggings or stockings, long sleeve top/tight sweater and top with a pair of heels to add the feminine touch.

Best thing about these babies is that the options are limitless! You can choose from a warm camel cape, to a sheer black cape for those hotter days. Take a look at my latest buy:

super versatile, MINK PINK black sheer shirt cape; 
mine is deliberately oversized to wear as a cape or as an oversized shirt over tights. 

just a little cape inspiration !
