When you want to look instantly polished and pulled-together, no piece of outerwear will transform your look faster than a cape. You see, capes have a kind of superpower. Whatever you wear them with immediately looks that much more elevated. So even if you’ve made zero effort, you’ll be amazed at the compliments you get by simply throwing one over your shoulders. Perhaps because there’s just something so sophisticated about them. It goes without saying (although we will) that capes are also an elegant choice for evening.
