The fall runways were cloaked in mystery and sophistication as this classic garment continues to inspire designers and gain popularity among fearless dressers. Capes can look dower or costumey, so unless you're going for drama, stick to something sleek and tailored.
A great wearable option, the cape/coat hybrid, swept down many catwalks for Fall 2010. Ann Demeulemeester's collection rocked, with architectural collars and leather whip-cord accoutrements.
The first look out at Christian Dior, Karlie Kloss was stunning in leather. This is a fantastic, rich colour for Fall.
Hannah MacGibbon presented a crocheted cape in her accalimed collection for Chloé.
A short swing coat/cape from Dries van Noten.
If you're not comfortable wearing a cape, you can use seperates to imitate the silhouette. Many designers exhibited a full coat or skirt, with a sloping shoulder and a sleeve placed lower and closer to the body, giving the visual effect of a cape with more wearability. Consider this prim ensemble from Fendi.
For the avant-garde, this angular wrap should set pulses racing. Gareth Pugh asserts his unique vision, season after season.
My, what long legs you have! Volume on the upper body can emphasize sculpted gams, like this bold cape from Yves Saint Laurent.
