The cape: the versatile outerwear for all your looks

There are garments that make you feel good right away, and the cape is one of them. It's that outerwear that softly envelops you, leaving you completely free to move, without ever feeling constrained. Imagine wearing it over a simple jeans and sweater look: the cape has the power to transform the ordinary into something special, giving you a touch of casual elegance. It's your secret weapon to elevate any outfit, with grace and naturalness.

Fabrics and details that make the difference

The beauty of the cape also lies in its versatility, which is expressed through materials and small details. If you're looking for a sophisticated look, the dove grey double-faced jacket is the right choice: with lapels and side slits, it combines the cape cut with the elegance of a neutral color. For a more structured touch of class, the ecru long coat is perfect, with its sartorial double-breasted design and fluid line that adapts to every figure.

But the cape can also be super practical. If your style is more urban and dynamic, the sand quilted cape in rainproof fabric with thermal padding is ideal for colder days. The adjustable hood and double zip add that touch of functionality that never makes you give up on style. And for mid-season, the ice scuba gilet with hood and belt is the garment that allows you to combine sporty comfort with elegance.

The art of layering

One of the cape's superpowers is its ability to completely transform a look with layering. Unlike traditional coats, which can sometimes be bulky, the cape layers naturally.

For a rock touch: Wear your cape over a leather jacket. The effect will be an unexpected and gritty mix of the garment's softness and the leather's decisive texture.
For the office: Pair it with a blazer or a tailored jacket. The result will be an elegant and professional look, but with an original touch that stands out.
For leisure: Choose a wool turtleneck, a pair of jeans, and boots. Over it, wear the cape for a comfortable but refined look.

How to choose the right cape

You don't need to be a fashion expert to wear a cape. Just follow a few tips to find the right one for you and style it best.

Play with lines. The cape is voluminous, and that's its beauty. But to avoid the "sack" effect, pair it with more fitted garments on the bottom. If your cape is long and wide, wear skinny pants, leggings, a pencil skirt, or a straight dress. The idea is to create a nice contrast between the volume on top and the slim line below. This also applies to footwear: pair tall boots or pointed pumps to lengthen the figure.

Don't forget the belt. Many capes don't have a belt, but adding one can make a difference, especially if you want to define your silhouette.

Emphasizing your waist will help you create a more feminine and harmonious shape. Try a contrasting belt, perhaps in leather, or a thin chain to add an extra touch of style.

Choose a color you like. Neutral colors like camel, black, or grey are always a winning bet because they go well with everything. They allow you to create classic and elegant looks effortlessly. But if you feel daring, try the cherry jacket with fringes: a bright color can give that touch of personality that makes your look unforgettable, transforming the cape into the true focal point of your outfit.
