Capelets are Back, and I love them!

by on Sep. 27, 2009, under Uncategorized

Well… I will love them once our city temperature drops under 100 degrees. Cape coats and capelets are one of the hottest trends for winter and are a great way to stay warm and fashionable.

            Note: to my fellow Tucsonans, these will not heat you up to the point of sweating during our “winter,” which is an awesome bonus because we deserve a few sweat free months!

            Before you even think the word superhero look at these images:

This capelet is a little more structured like a shrug but still awesome!

A little more shrug than capelet but I really love this one!

Now, tell me do you see anything comic book about those looks? I do not. I see numerous outerwear classics that are timeless and chic. These versatile pieces can be worn to almost any occasion and are a great way to add a contemporary, gothic, or victorian flare to any outfit.

I hope you will consider a cape/capelet for your winter wardrobe and leave those trench coats behind!
