The cape is a huge female fashion trend of the fall/winter season and a great alternative piece of outerwear to the winter coat. The idea of wearing a cape may seem a little complicated, especially considering that you do not want to look like a superhero character! If you pay attention to the shape of your body, you can style the cape to make it a great choice for any occasion.

The cape gives you more freedom in your arms, and can look much more chic and elegant than a regular jacket. There are all sorts of styles of capes, from a winter wool to silk. The military is another key trend that you can find in the capes. The colors you should pay attention to this season: the illustrious camel, bold black, dark red and gray with charcoal grey.

The short cape, known as the capelet, is perfect to wear on top of your party dress on the festive season. It is better not to wear clothes that are too bulky under your cape, as this can make you look heavier than you, and there are options that also have a hood, to keep you warm and protect you in the winter months.

You should always consider the shape of your body before you buy a cape, as this will help determine which style suits you best. Capes can be worn in any body shape, from slim to plus size. If you have a slim and slender figure, you can wear almost any cape style you want. Styles with a slight flair are best suited to this body shape.

If you have a pear-shaped figure, you should wear a cape with a belt, as this will emphasize your waist and give you a more hourglass look. Without a belt, you can find a loose-fitting cape that is great for hiding any lumps and bumps, especially for all festive over-indulgence.

Plus-size ladies can also wear capes and look as gorgeous as any other shape will. However, it is best to stick to the cape that sits along the length of the thigh and wear jeans or pants underneath to get the most out of style.

If you have a quite a small frame, then a cape with a short skirt, tights for cold weather and a pair of ankle boots will elongate your height and make you look taller. It will also help to give a slimming appearance to your shape.
