Must-Have Coat Trends: Capes
Cape Coats by theclosetbychristie featuring capes
Whether you’re on your way to save the world or are just a budding fashionista, the cape coat is the up-and-coming outerwear trend for Fall 2013. It’s cozy and comfortable with a fabulous silhouette! And it’s the perfect coat for season transitions. Wear it over a cable-knit sweater for the breezy Fall season and transition it to Winter by styling it with sophisticated elbow-length gloves and a beret.
In the above set, I featured a black and white Dorothy Perkins tweed cape. This coat is absolutely gorgeous and affordable; can’t beat that! The black and white gives it a classic look, while the tweed adds texture. For the look, I featured a yellow knitted TOPSHOP funnel neck sweater paired with a multi-colored Alexander McQueen kaleidoscope beetle print skirt. I love how bright and colorful this look is! I accessorized with a tan Marni leather shoulder bag and tan Tory Burch tortoise shell embellished block-heels. These accessories have such a beautiful, classic design. The neutral colors help tame our color palette to make it work for the Fall season. For jewelry, I chose Dolce & Gabbana chandelier earrings and a brown and rose gold Daniel Wellington watch.
