If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you’ll know that I have no sense of delayed gratification. I picked up this Jenni Kayne cape (also available here) last month when it first became available – I’d been on the hunt for a classic cape for long time, and I finally found one that was just my style and not completely out of my price range. Because it’s such a timeless piece and I believe I’ll get a lot of use out of it (not just this year, but years to come), I was willing to invest in a good one. This one is almost sold out, so don’t wait to grab it! Check out my other suggestions to get the look below.
This Carven cape is nearly identical, but with some adorable winter-ready toggles and oversized lapels. For an even more basic camel cape, this Burberry piece is a gorgeous wardrobe staple. This navy cape by Joie is reasonably priced and an easy staple you’ll wear all winter. You know how I feel about basic black, and this one by Haute Hippie is a winner. Leave it to Alexander McQueen to create a dramatic cape that anyone would kill for. Finally, this Tory Burch piece is equal parts chic and useful. It’s both a jacket and a cape!
