Chic Accessory or Caped Crusader

I love a good cape, maybe it's my childhood fantasies of little red riding hood, maybe that I've always loved dressing up, or maybe because I always knew they were cool, hmmm its probably the first answer. 

Wether you like them or not Capes are back, for now anyway and who's to say for how long but this fall/winter 2013 they have never looked better, so pull out and brush off that dusty old cape from the back of your closet, or find a cool vintage one at your local thrift/vintage store or splurge on one of the designer capes shown here. In my opinion they look best with understated adornments and style, like skinny jeans and a white shirt or black tailored pants and a simple understated top, let the cape stand out not what's under to give this look a modern twist if not you risk looking dated and vintage yourself.
