Cape Crusader

[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="560,561,562,559"]Can I just say I love a good cape! So glad that the cape is having a moment and is back on the winter coat scene in a big way! I was so ecstatic when I spotted this ultra chic moto zip cape at Zara! Yes, I was able to walk out of there with an actual piece of clothing (thank God for one size fits all)! A cape looks polished and super chic when worn over a dress or slim trousers (or leather paneled leggings, as pictured) and offers a perfect blanket to cozy up in with the winter weather. I know this may not be your typical coat and that this look is not for everyone. When it comes to capes, there is a thin line between looking like a magician and a fashion-killer. It’s all in the way you wear that thang.
