5 Coats, Capes, and Cardigans To Wrap Up In This Winter
The best part about winter is wrapping up in fabulous outerwear. If you only invest in three outerwear pieces this winter then make it a show-stopping coat, a chic oversized cardi and an oh-so-stylish cape. A great fitting, top quality coat should last you a good few winters before you need to invest in a new one (oh yes ladies, a good coat should be treated as a wardrobe investment!) and a chic and stylish cape or over-sized cardi can easily be mixed and matched with your existing wardrobe. Winter is nowhere near over so we thought we would bring you our top picks of must-have coats, capes and cardigans for the chilly season.
All of these are available from online store, www.AdoreThis.co.za this winter.
1. The Multi-way Cape –Â R1 960
The WomenStuff team is head over heels in love with this cape by South African based fashion label, DIANE. The chic black, cape coat can be worn two ways, short or long and is one size fits all.
How to wear it:Â For a chic and polished office look, wear the cape short and pair it with a patterned skirt, tights, and over-the-knee boots. If wearing your cape with a skirt scares you that’s fine too! Capes are definitely easier to pull off with pants and you can’t go wrong with leather leggings, a turtle-neck sweater, and high-heeled ankle booties.
