Whether you are looking for fashionable outerwear or affordable dresses for women the cape made its appearance on runways around the world and is being worn in a number of ways be it everyday, formal or professional.

Cape Dress

The cape dress is a perfect example of how the cape has taken over as a major player in 2014 fashion. Cape dresses offer a stunning, high fashion look that has a little touch of vampire vamp that is all the rage. Cape dresses make you look like you are ready to float off at a moment’s notice offering a willowy touch in sheer fabrics or as an extension to silks or satins. The over the shoulder look of the cape dress provides a dramatic look whereas the cape draped across your front adds a sense of mysterious allure.

Blanket Cape2014 The Year of the Cape

The blanket cape is a casual look perfect over jeans. It has an aboriginal feel that is cosy and natural and is sure to keep you wrapped up cosy and warm on those crisp fall days or milder winter afternoons. Pair it with jeans, pumps and a slouchy hat and you’ll have that laissez faire laid back look ideal for weekends.

Knit Cape

Knit capes are shorty capes and your best friend for the layered look that is also popular this year. The knit cape has taken the place of the chunky sweater and prissy cardigan and can be paired with just about anything be it casual, formal or business.

Knee Length

The knee length cape is a formal look ideal for nights out or to make a fashionable statement on the way to a business meeting. Look for large button fronts and wear a complementary layer below in an elegant jacket. You can also opt for an edgy off hours look with skinny jeans, sexy heels and classic jean jacket sleeves showing through the arm slits.

Blazer Cape

Blazer style capes hit just below the waist and are a tighter fit that is posh and polished. You can look for black wool or cashmere that is pretty yet professional and where it in lieu of your office blazers or jackets. Pair with sexy heels or booties and wide legged men’s style business trousers in black, grey flannel or upscale pinstripe.

Trench Cape

The trench cape is reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes and comes in a number of looks including the classic Burberry. Wear this in place of your everyday trench coat on route to the office or on gloomy days threatening rain.

The cape is making statements for affordable dresses for women, replacing classic trench coats and adding a cosy layer on casual weekends.
