Capes are in it to win it again this fall and winter, so above I’ve provided a round-up of some of my favorites.  As you can see in this post, this post and this post, I’m a fan.  However, it’s important to note that my fondness for the chicly shapeless outerwear goes beyond just a desire to occasionally pretend I’m Hermione Granger (as discussed here) and/or cover up a Chipotle-induced food belly.  Not only do I find them very attractive and oh. so. comfortable, but they can also be absolutely clutch when wearing a blazer or suit to the office (as worn in this post).  If you’re someone that works in a business formal environment and find yourself awkwardly trying to stuff your suit jacket sleeves into the sleeves of a coat or trench, you probably know the misery of this process, not to mention the irreversible wrinkling effect on your suit jacket/blazer sleeves that are subsequently on display throughout the rest of your work day.  Enter the cape, which allows for the abandonment of the awkwardly over-stuffed arms, yet still provides that critical extra layer of warmth.  So go ahead, get your cape on.

    Hi Mary! A somewhat urgent question for you. How do you feel about toe cleav in the workplace? Just realized the black pumps I fall back on are definitely toe-showing. Just flipped thru your pictures and I don't see a single instance of it…what about for an interview situation? Not acceptable?
    TY

    Alright, you've convinced me. Somehow I never thought of this as a solution to the blazer issue. Brilliant. Also, I love your old post about capes that you linked to (somehow I missed this). That cape is stunning! I love the camel and black. I pretty much need to hop on this trend asap.

    I love the look of capes but am never sure if I'll actually wear them. It gets freezing and windy here in Nebraska!

    I've always wanted to get a cape because I feel like they are a very chic way to stay warm. I really struggle though to find them in my price range, could you suggest some that are under $100? Thanks!
