How To Style: Capes

This post was already in queue to be published, but I had to put it on hold after my fashion sister Solange and her wedding came through this weekend…literally shutting the internet DOWN! Solange did it her way. Keeping her ivory cape theme going for her entire day, changing looks I believe about four times (you can Google the other looks, they’re all over the internet), it was hard for me to pick my favorite look. I can honestly say that I loved them all! But the plunging ivory cape jumpsuit above did something to my spirit, it touched my soul lol! Congrats to Solange and Alan, I wish them continued love and blessings!

Now back to my initial post lol We all know how much I adore capes. With this style being in such high demand right now, it’s a great time to illustrate the many ways that you can rock this look!

I love how elegant and sophisticated capes are. You can certainly be classy, yet exude sex appeal with a cape dress and stiletto pump. It’s the perfect look to rock for an intimate and special occasion.

For the versatile woman (such as myself), that wants to flaunt her around-the-way girl style, you can also dress this look down for a more hip and chic approach. Being comfy in your favorite pair of jeans and booties, your cape will add an extra touch of style to your casual technique.

If you’re choosing to rock a cape as your outerwear, there’s no wrong way to go about it! I’m the queen of simplicity. Less is always more to me. In this situation, keep it super sleek and stylish underneath, while letting your cape do the majority of talking!

I recently purchased a cape dress and I can not wait to wear it! I’ll certainly be referring back to this as inspiration when the day comes for me to rock it!
