A Trip To Cape Town

{the best capes for fall}

Here at HOM, we love the cape trend. Capes are perfect for fall, feminine and still a bit unexpected and fashion-forward. But how do you make them appropriate for wear to work and/or around town with colleagues and clients? Stick with capes in standard colors and with sophisticated accents.

Take this stunning Gaia Checked Wool-Blend Cape by Vivinne Westwood, for example. The cut and draping are dramatic and beautiful, but the straight-forward check pattern and neutral coloring make it perfectly appropriate for professional functions.

Similarly, this Carly Cape from Club Monaco is stunning. The collarless top with full cape make it easy to wear over any outfit. Again, the neutral coloring helps balance the bold silhouette. (And just imagine how cute it would be when paired with an outfit that makes sense!)

For an extremely professional take on the cape, we love this affordable Vince Camuto Notch Collar Cape Coat. It’s menswear inspired, traditional business wear with a fashion-forward twist.

Or, add some color and pattern with this beautiful Whitney Cape from French Connection. We love it in red almost as much as this Felix Checked Cape in charcoal, green and pink. Ideal for fall!

If a full on poncho cape is a little too bold for you, try this Hand Made Waistcoat from Zara- beautifully designed and ideal for fall. The neutral tone and large collar make it work-appropriate, while the unstructured cut give it a fashionable edginess.

Will you join in on the cape trend?
