I love the holiday party season and getting dressed up. Somehow a long wool overcoat just doesn’t do justice to a flowing evening gown. Capes, however, are a smart and stylish way to cover up in a glamorous and stylish way. Some of the runway pieces below are truly inspired. Below are some of my favorites. Just click on your favorite runway pieces to see an enlarged more detailed picture.

What a great idea to pair capes with evening wear.
I love these. I had never thought to wear a cape, but maybe I will. I remember loving them as a child.
I got a cape earlier and just love it. It is a fun piece and always gets compliments.
