This season we are all about Capes and Blanket Scarves and why wouldn’t we be? The cape is unconventional enough to stand out in the streets, and luxurious enough for the Queen of England. Once you try a winter luxe cape as an alternative to coats, we’re sure you’ll be royally hooked!
Layer up!
When we leave the house in the morning after a blissful few moments with a cup of coffee, we usually layer up to face the bitter cold. And trust us, you wouldn’t believe how HARD it is to maintain a big grin and trying to coax a reluctant child bundled up to resemble a marshmallow out into the freezing cold. Thus, we integrate the cape…Along with being a fashion statement at school drop off with a cape draped elegantly over pajamas, the cape offers less commitment than a coat. Sleeves? Who needs em.
As the day progresses, we find we have to shed some of those layers. Capes and Blanket Scarves are perfect for Fall weather, not to mention they are so cuddly and soft!
Goes with anything!
Both can fit over everything including your bell sleeve tops, bulky knits, a leather jacket and your puffer jackets. Not to mention, capes are much easier to pack into an oversized bag than a jacket when the weather becomes bearable.
Timeless addition to your wardrobe!

Depending how you style the look, capes can be timeless and can be worn day to evening. These fresh pieces have replaced our fall coats and jackets and are the new of-the moment look. We have rounded up our favorite capes, poncho and blanket scarves for this season. You can choose from trendy to casual and go-anywhere pieces. So as you crunch through leaves and bask in the crisp air, we hope you’ll feel as royal as Meghan Markle in your luxe cape. (We can only hope!)
