No wonder I love it. I agree with white. I think that has more longevity style wise and I just like it more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-cape-timeless-or-a-fad-fuschia-or-white#post-1807477 Wed, 10 May 2017 21:39:47 +0000 The Cat 1807477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love capes and would definitely be interested in this one. Because of the simple, sophisticated lines, you can wear it for a long time.<br /> For decades, an off-white cape has always been part of my wardrobe. I don't use it every week or even every month, but whenever I do, I am sure to receive compliments. :-)<br /> Hope you will get the cape in your size. (Try to ask for help in one or more local Zara shops. They may have one cape left or be able to get it from a Zara shop elsewhere in the country.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-cape-timeless-or-a-fad-fuschia-or-white#post-1807411 Wed, 10 May 2017 17:54:10 +0000 harmonica 1807411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie!</p> <p>ETA: I just ordered the white in size S and L. Size M was out of stock. I'm curious if it will fit. I have a bright coral blazer from Zara in size M and a winter coat in L. My guess is that the out-of-stock-medium will fit me the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-cape-timeless-or-a-fad-fuschia-or-white#post-1807408 Wed, 10 May 2017 17:53:00 +0000 Angie 1807408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-cape-timeless-or-a-fad-fuschia-or-white#post-1807404 Wed, 10 May 2017 17:44:44 +0000 harmonica 1807404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! You have convinced me to give it a go. If I feel awkward in it, then I'll just return it. It might go well with my blush dress. </p> <p>Tisa - you are so right. The blazer vibe is actually exactly what I like about it. More structure and less volume. </p> <p>Angie - you're an enabler! Fuchsia or white? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-cape-timeless-or-a-fad-fuschia-or-white#post-1807396 Wed, 10 May 2017 17:29:13 +0000 Angie 1807396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Avant-Garde.

If it were without the front arm slits and with more fabric (additional volume), it could be a timeless piece.&nbsp;Compare it to the picture bellow and you'll see what I mean.<br />This style actually looks like a blazer with slits instead of sleeves, not like a typical cape.</p> <p>P.S.: If you like it and can see yourself wearing it, it could be a fun piece for this season. I think it looks modern and fresh, but will go out of fashion rather quickly. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-cape-timeless-or-a-fad-fuschia-or-white#post-1807325 Wed, 10 May 2017 13:11:33 +0000 Bijou 1807325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pink the most too. It is hard to find great pieces in that colour, so I would go for it. The cape to me is like a jump suit - they are never such a huge trend, that they always look different and stylish when worn.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-cape-timeless-or-a-fad-fuschia-or-white#post-1807322 Wed, 10 May 2017 13:08:08 +0000 harmonica 1807322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your comments!</p> <p>Ledonna - now I'll have to google fashion history of the cape</p> <p>anchie - agree, Zara is all about fast fashion, but sometimes you can hit the nail</p> <p>cindy - you're right. Details can date an item too fast. Maybe this is the time to say less is more.</p> <p>Janet - I'll check out Ann/Dashielle's outfits again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-cape-timeless-or-a-fad-fuschia-or-white#post-1807299 Wed, 10 May 2017 12:09:02 +0000 Janet 1807299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree -- this is a trend that I think can remain part of a signature style. I know Ann/Dashielle rocks her cape, and I can see it working for her and for you even after the trend has waned. I love the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-cape-timeless-or-a-fad-fuschia-or-white#post-1807294 Wed, 10 May 2017 12:03:03 +0000 cindysmith 1807294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's one of those pieces that's a fad in terms of today's brutally fast trend cycle; however, I also think this one is free from details that would make it look dated really quickly, and could absolutely become a lasting part of a wardrobe built around a signature style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-cape-timeless-or-a-fad-fuschia-or-white#post-1807288 Wed, 10 May 2017 11:27:09 +0000 anchie 1807288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a fun piece. Would not really consider Zara as a source for timeless pieces, but you never know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-cape-timeless-or-a-fad-fuschia-or-white#post-1807283 Wed, 10 May 2017 11:20:00 +0000 Ledonna N. 1807283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a fad but can become a timeless piece. It is reminiscent of capes worn in the 40s &amp; 50s. If uou love ut get it and wear the heck out of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-cape-timeless-or-a-fad-fuschia-or-white#post-1807279 Wed, 10 May 2017 11:02:47 +0000 harmonica 1807279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm intrieged by this Zara cape as a dressy topper (instead of a bolero). I like the structure of it and the side slits for the arms. It keeps you warm, i.e. over a sleeveless dress, but also reveals a bit of skin (opposite of a blazer or other long sleeve topper). </p> <p>I like the graphic and crisp integrety that the white can provide, but also adore the pink one. I always get compliments when wearing such saturated colours and I like the fun of it. Which one would you think could be best for me and my wardrobe?</p> <p>AND do you think this is a timeless piece that will hold up for a long time?</p> <p><a href="https://m.zara.com/us/en/search?filter=&#038;searchTerm=Cape" rel="nofollow">https://m.zara.com/us/en/searc.....hTerm=Cape</a> </p>
