I love the Helene Berman cape coat I bought during this year’s NAS. The oversized plaid pattern makes me happy, and it’s roomy so I can layer under all my on trend fluid fit and oversized knitwear. Since acquiring the coat, I’ve been paying extra attention to how other people are wearing and styling capes. Here are some visuals you might find inspiring too:
- 25 Chic Ways to Style a Cape This Fall.
- The Guardian’s tips on How to Wear a Cape.
- The Dos and Don’ts of Blanket Scarves.
- The One Fall Piece You Can Wear All Season At Any Weight.
- And last but not least, a few Pinterest boards with everything from sassy capelets and fun patterned little numbers, to cosy blanket scarves worn as capes and dramatic midi styles: Ms. Black, Meredith Alexander, and Lu Zazou.
