From vampires, to wicked witches, and of course those dashing heroic Superheros, the cape has found its place among notable ensembles throughout the years in comic books and movies. Entering the year of the fashionable cape, the runways at the Fall 2012 fashion shows were filled with the flowing fashionable coat. Not only fabulous for its versatility with styles, prints and fabrics, but the cape is also a perfect transitional piece to take you from those blustery fall to winter days.
This year’s looks offer distinct tailoring and styles that can flatter any shape without the fear of the dreaded “tent” look. Fashionistas will be able to choose from cloaks, blanket capes, tailored, belted, and shirt style to name a few. Don’t be afraid to try colors and trends to add a little kick to your fall look! The cape is just the thing to add that “pop” ( think red) you have been looking for. Truly a piece that can be dressed up or down and can only enhance your look to chic Superhero standards….minus the large “S” on your shirt!
