Capes look good on you and also keep you warm. Mostly worn as coat, they are the most favorite fashion item during the cold winter. But they are fashionable during the fall. You can go for the short capes if the weather is not that cold. For the versatile look you get, capes are just worth it, even if they are not always easy to wear and their price is a bit higher. In fact, one cape can be styled and mixed in some variations if you do not buy the too detailed one. So you may consider buying capes that are quite simple and neutral in color, to later be worn as you like. Capes with big buttons, stylish sleeves, some decorations, and maybe some cropped parts are less variable. They just make you look flawless for whatever you wear for the rest. Because they are big and dominant, they cover the imperfection on other outfits you wear, if there is any. As a general rule, capes look best when paired with tight bottoms. So put on the skinny pants, slim skirt, or tights to be seamless. If you do pair a cape with a dress, make sure it is a slim dress with a pencil skirt bottom or if your dress is fuller your cape should be cropped and close to sholder length. Always make sure that the bottom hem of the dress is a few inched longer than the bottom of the cape.

Cape coats have been designed in many different styles to catch up with the trend. There are some cape styles such as for the military, indulgence, slim, and chic look. Some come with belt, while the rest are really simple. If you prefer to style simple, the military capes can be your favorite. If you like more variations, the double-breasted and hooded models are viable options. Just remember not to combine cape coat with shoulder bag because they will die out each other. Bring clutch or other small bag that will not hang near the shoulder to abs areas. The bags should stay lower than the capes. With booties or heels are just the same, you are guaranteed to look fabulous.
