Cape It Off


www.polyvore.com
Our US style spies are telling us that cape styled jackets and ponchos are making a return, which means this trend will soon make its way over to our shores, so we're taking a look at how this look rocks on the other wise of the globe.... This exaggerated trend can easily go the wrong way, so look for more sophisticated spins on an old style. 

Forget little red riding hood, these caped trench coats are all grown up.  In classic colors such as tan and black, the cape trench has an air of sophistication without losing its playful side.  Styles look fantastic over skirts with textured tights peeking out.  Amp up the look with red heels!

Feeling daring?  Play with volume and color.  Tied waistlines help keep the proportion of these bolder styles in check.  Keep the rest of your look neutral and let the jacket get all the attention. 

We love rocking this look on cool mornings and breezy afternoons.
