Grey wool Cape from See by Chloé, $ 432 & Temperley London Cashmere/Silk Cape, $ 1.274

The leaves are turning colors and there is a chill in the air. Fall is coming and it is time to get cozy. On these cool fall days, I could grab a sweater or a shawl, but I think I want to be a little daring this year. So, I want a cape. Yes, you read that right, I want a cape. A beautiful, luxurious cape, made with a decadent wool or cashmere that adds a touch of chic to my look. A cape is the perfect piece to have to help you transition from hot weather to cool weather. It adds a little air of mystery and absolute fashionable comfort that you just cannot get from a lightweight coat. Depending on your personal preference, you can choose the style of cape that suits you. Accents like a chunky cable-knit, a uniquely shaped collar, knit detailing or a button closure allows a little more for your outfit to peek out. For the real breezy days you could choose a nice long cape from a chunky luxurious high ply wool or cashmere.

I can just picture strolling on a beautiful fall day wrapped in my chic cashmere cape. I think the appeal of the cape is how it flutters out behind you as you walk. How can you not love that? It adds a touch of European drama chic to your everyday movements and who doesn’t crave a little bit of drama, or at least a touch of it. The best thing about the cape is its versatility as you do not need to be dressed up to wear one. This little piece of luxury looks just as nice with jeans and a beautiful pair of leather boots as it does with a lovely dress. Pair your cape with a beautiful tailored outfit or with a knitted mini dress a la Jane Birkin, and feeling cozy and stylish this fall season is not that hard!
