Previously, such a thing as a cape was already in fashion. However, for a long time she was forgotten by fashionistas. However, at fashion shows dedicated to the fall 2020 season, the unfairly forgotten cape was completely rehabilitated. And today I will tell you how to wear it correctly.
What is it and where did it come from
A cape is a combination of a coat and a cape; it has a loose fit and a trapezoidal shape. It has no sleeves, but in their place there are vertical slits for the arms. This cut makes the cape a comfortable and elegant piece of clothing, and at the same time helps to hide many figure imperfections.
The "Royal Cape", as it was called, appeared in England in the Middle Ages. Everyone has seen this thing on beautiful ladies in films about knights and musketeers. Over the years, this piece of clothing has undergone many changes. It became shorter and got a collar instead of a hood. Silk embroidered fabric, abundance of decor and fur trim were replaced with more modern materials.

The length of the cape varies from shortened models that barely touch the waist to elongated versions that cover the shoes. The cape is made from warm woolen fabric, xlOpka, leather and fine silk. The material depends on how the cape will be used: as outerwear or as an accessory.
Fashionable models today
This season, capes made a very loud statement at fashion shows. They can be found in the collections of Dior, Celine, Givenchy and many other fashion houses. At the same time, fashion designers confidently declare that capes are good not only as outerwear, but also as an independent element of the wardrobe. For example, as a replacement for a dress.
This fall, English-style capes are at the height of fashion. It is expressed in a discreet silhouette and traditional check. Capes in pastel colors are also popular, but bright color combinations are not excluded. Some brands chose to decorate their capes with embroidery or geometric patterns.

What to wear with
A loose cape goes well with narrow bottoms: leggings, skinny pants, pencil skirts. This solution looks good with high-heeled shoes: boots or closed shoes. Shorts with boots as a bottom look great. You can complement the look with a narrow-brimmed hat or cap.

A trouser suit also fits well with the cape style. This is a classic combination that is suitable for the office and business meetings.

An excellent stylish addition can be leather trousers with massive boots with grooved soles. A slightly aggressive bottom complements the feminine, formal top.

Elegant caps, berets or interesting hats with straight brims go well with checkered capes in the English style. Large accessories can serve as an original addition: brooches, wide-brimmed hats, scarves.

Shoes should not be overloaded with accessories, so shoes with rivets, rhinestones and zippers should be immediately put aside. Sports models also do not go well with an elegant cape.
Wide trousers can be combined with a cape tied with a belt or belt. But it is important not to overdo it with volume so that the silhouette does not become shapeless. Large girls should especially be wary of this combination. High gloves go well with this model, since the hands are mostly open. The look with the “royal cape” should be complemented with a small handbag or clutch.
@Vogue
It is advisable not to wear a cape with sportswear, summer shoes, as well as bulky UGG boots and moon boots.
