Versatile.
The Cape works equally well with a silk blouse, a high turtleneck and a 3/4 sleeve tee. Style it casual or dressy,
depending on the needs of your life.
Seasonal
Transition. Wear the cape as a coat but keep it on when you go inside. Add a floppy hat and long gloves
as the weather cools. Don't try to wear it under a coat, though. Once it's truly coat weather, the cape
should get packed away. You can bring it out again in Early Spring.
REMEMBER to order all
of the potential sizes to find the best fit for you AND to insist on a great fit by returning any and all
sizes that aren't right. Jacket fits if you can fully button it. Adjust sleeves or pant length at the tailor..
