This year, capes are dominating catwalks and red carpets alike, with the elegant cover-up spilling over into evening wear. Once known mostly as a superhero style staple, the fashion world has gone wild for capes this season with Miu Miu, Comme des Garçons and Givenchy all incorporating the look into their collections.
While Miu Miu showed mannish tailoring and tweed prints in Paris, Comme des Garçons opted for bright, oversized coat-style capes. At Givenchy, Riccardo Tisci shared his take on the trend with an edgy jet black and bejewelled mini version of the must-have item. While a statement cape works wonders for a standout evening look and flatters any dress style and length, the opportunities for a great daytime look are also endless.
