Fall Fashion Pick of the Week #4: The cape

The cape is huge this season, and a great fall must-have for all those chilly, but-not-yet-freezing days. So, I've come up with a selection of chic styles to keep you fashionably cozy. The first two, above, are lighter designs to wear now through mid-fall. The cape on the left, is a cute and comfy Echo buttoned-down chunky capelet for $98. I really like the big, bold buttons and the over-sized, folded-over turtleneck. On the right is the adorable Portolano ruffle-edge cape for $250. A bit more expensive, but the ruffles and horn-shaped toggle buttons are so sweet, I couldn't resist. Check out more, warmer-styled capes at the jump.

For chillier days, we've chosen a classic Michael Michael Kors flyaway capelet--very similar looking to the ever-popular pea coat for $99.50. Fashioned in 70% wool, this classic piece of outerwear will definitely keep you warm. The exquisite style in the center is a Cejon wool-blend cape in herringbone for $148. As you can see from the picture, it looks very chic with jeans and long black leather gloves, and can also be dressed up with a curve-hugging sheath dress or pants suit for going out to dinner or meeting for cocktails. This last, military-style pick is the Spiewak Helena cape from Urban Outfitters. It has downtown, urban appeal and is seriously trendy--own it for $150.
