How to Wear a Winter Cape: 8 Styling Ideas


When searching for your coat of the season, consider the cape. After all, what other winter coat will have you feeling like a superhero-meets-very-chic-detective? Not only does it pair superbly with everything from much-loved denim to a festive party dress, but it also allows our arms to peek out just enough to show off our favorite fall knitwear.
From satin tuxedo styles to preppy double-breasted silhouettes, there are tons of chic ways to pull off this caped crusader style this winter. Check out the lovely ladies below and get inspired for everything from daytime office looks to date-night dressing.

A great pairing for thigh-high boots, go for a luscious navy cape that hits right at your knee this winter. Whether embellished, like above, or classically solid, it will become your extra special go-to when sporting everything from jeans to a pencil skirt.

For a night out (or dressed-up daytime look), seek a cape option with a silk lapel, styled like a black tie tuxedo jacket. It will look awesome with slim leather pants or tailored trousers.

For those looking for something more traditional, reach for a style with more tailored sleeves—it's the perfect cape-coat hybrid!

When wearing a simple black skirt and white button-down outfit, seek a cape style with a bit more flair. We love menswear-inspired patterns, like this brown houndstooth check.

Make your cape the focus of your look by seeking a closed-front style in a bold color or colorblock pattern.
