With frigid winter weather headed straight for us, it’s no wonder that we want to bundle up as much as possible. And one of the most innovative ways to do so is by investing in a chic cape. These gems are popping up all over fashion blogs and retail stores because of their new look, high level of comfort and functionality. To stay extra toasty, we recommend investing in a cape made of natural material such as wool or cashmere.

Saint Laurent hooded crocheted wool-blend cape

Burberry Gabardine Trench Poncho

H&M textured cape

Chloé Alpaca-blend blanket cape

First on our list of the top five chicest capes out there is the Agnona leather-trimmed cashmere cape. Since this cape is made of one of the softest and warmest fabrics known to man and in a color that goes with everything, this is the one to beat. For a more feminine style, we found the Saint Laurent hooded crocheted wool-blend cape in a pretty cream hue. This coat is functional with more of a Parisian twist. For a classic look mixed with a new trend, you can invest in a Burberry gabardine trench poncho. This particular cape mimics the classic Burberry trench coat in a totally new way. Additionally, this affordable cape by H&M is under $100, so what’s not to love? The textured plaid is a sophisticated way to approach a preppy style. To top off our list is this gorgeous option from Chloé, in cream and grey to add some subtle color to your winter wardrobe. Stay warm out there and happy shopping!

Yours in Style,
