This is another Carrie Bradshaw inspired piece already in my wardrobe. And one that was big on the catwalks for Autumn/Winter 2010 (see Erdem, Celine, Alberta Ferretti and Jaeger London, above).
A cape is the most versatile coat: they're practical, easy-to-wear, comfortable and cosy... and elegant. It's like a blanket under which to keep warm and hibernate when the weather gets cold.
I have found a few affordable options: Oasis Wool Mix Duffle Cape; ASOS Hooded Military Cape; and Cooper & Stollbrand for ASOS Checked Cape.
Will you be hibernating under a cape this winter?
