You've just reminded me I don't have any, I must go shopping and restock :)<br /> I've got one more question for you, cape-wise: I've just bought this Forever21 floppy hat and I was wandering whether it would go with the cape? And if yes, what else to throw in? I've tried it on together but I kinda looked like a Mexican villager (no offense) from western films... Any ideas how to prevent it? Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-black-cape#post-774183 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:39:06 +0000 rute 774183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!!<br /> I would pair it with a chunky sweather, skinnies or loafers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-black-cape#post-774153 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 06:52:22 +0000 Rabbit Heart 774153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies, thank you for your suggestions!<br /> bj1111, JR - I'll keep it slim, thanks!<br /> Jenava, rachylou - lovely idea! I'll have to go for a sweater and thick tights though, it's really cold here :)<br /> Inge - wonderful suggestions, thank you! The cape hits me slightly below the waist, it creates an A-line silhouette but it's quite voluminous, so I'll probably have to stick to really slim bottoms.<br /> Today I wore it over a black shift dress with a burgundy cardigan (with white dots), burgundy tights, black heeled oxfords and a mustard scarf. I'll try to take a photo, but I still can't post it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-black-cape#post-773693 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:50:56 +0000 Inge 773693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a beautiful cape! I second all the suggestions above. Also, it depend a bit on where the cape hits you, but I sometimes also like the cape + bootleg or wide leg jeans silhouette. I would also try it over a dress, or maybe a pleated A-line skirt.</p> <p>A few inspiration photos:</p> <p><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/246642517063434550/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/246642517063434550/</a><br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/284078688965756084/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/284078688965756084/</a><br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/89649848802476612/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/89649848802476612/</a><br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/187251296976241518/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/187251296976241518/</a><br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/131308145355049657/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/131308145355049657/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/on-the-street-navy-cape-5th-ave/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thesartorialist.com.....e-5th-ave/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-black-cape#post-773686 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:46:11 +0000 rachylou 773686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea of a leather A-line skirt with cape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-black-cape#post-773677 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:35:46 +0000 Jenava 773677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would do something like this, but non-leather. Wool a-line skirt, white or cream sheer blouse, maybe with a neck tie if you like that, nude or no hose, black patent round-toe shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-black-cape#post-773670 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:28:34 +0000 JR 773670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What BJ said. Pencil skirts, straight-leg pants, anything really that doesn't flare outwards. Probably boot-cuts too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-black-cape#post-773665 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:24:57 +0000 bj1111 773665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>adore...wear like any other trench. just watch the volume below the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-black-cape#post-773664 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:23:20 +0000 Rabbit Heart 773664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this wonderful cape today from a second hand shop - it's this exact cape, only in black.<br /> <a href="http://www.be.com/parlons-style/photos/photos-mode/met-manteaux-hiver-432408/comptoir-cotonniers-339751/" rel="nofollow">http://www.be.com/parlons-styl.....rs-339751/</a><br /> Any ideas on how to style it? Of course I'm going to wear it with skinnies, but I would like something different as well. Thanks! </p>
