take me to the cape

Wearing a poncho has never been appealing to me-until recently. Too often they appear just like a blanket that was just tossed on over to cover up everything underneath, and they can make a girl of any size and shape appear larger. But lately I’ve been spotting capes and ponchos (is there a difference?) that make me reconsider. I think as long as they are paired with the skinniest of pants, are thoughtfully chosen, and are well made, they can be a cozy and comfortable-yet stylish addition-to any casual fall wardrobe. And you know I couldn’t resist adding a glam little fur number in with the mix.

american eagle, poncho capelet, $39.95


diane von furstenberg, wool cape jacket, $395


y-3, cotton hooded cape, $290


barneys new york, shearling cape, $1535

What’s your take on the cape?

  5. I really like that DFV cape. Personally, I love capes in general, especially the more structured ones. I think that they can look so elegant.

  6. Dont capes have armholes or sleeves and ponchos dont? Who knows! But I love that DVF one!!
