Dear Girlfriends:

Our look of the day is here!  Capelets can go in many different directions and completely elevate the style of a simple look. Depending on the fabric and style of the capelet, they can be worn in many different ways. Some simply work as an accessory, while others serve as outerwear on a cool day. Either way, you can be sure you’re pushing the fashion envelope when you step out in a capelet.

Fashionistas, a piece of outerwear made elegant, this double-breasted wool cape features 8 button details and 6 snap closures. On-seam hip pockets and lined.

This is a great way to cover up when you want something more elegant than a coat. In gorgeous monochrome it looks best over a fine knit polo or white shirt and slim leg pants. So chic!
