Some looks are so fabulous, they transcend the fickleness of fashion to become iconic. The cape is a great example, and no eco fashion wardrobe should be without one this season. Less bulky than a coat, a cape provides an air of mystery, elegance and grace to a wardrobe, much in the same way that pearls class up a t-shirt and jeans. It’s a look that is always fashionable with out being “faddish,” and timeless without being “trendy.” In other words, a classic!
APC Cape
The traditional cape in a classic shade is a must for every eco fashionista. Made from virgin wool, this one features a heavy weight knit collar, front buttons and a kangaroo pocket. A bit of an investment piece, we admit, but it will never go out of style. $575 at www.mohawkgeneralstore.com.
Pendleton The Portland Collection Cape
Another excellent find from one of our favorite new collections, this cape encompasses all we love about the look, from the casually elegant style to the beautiful fall plaid. Made from 100% virgin wool, this one is a keeper! $297 at www.embodies.com.
