One of this season's most daring coat trends is the cape. Designers are always reinventing this old-school style to make it modern and relevant for today's fashionista (consider this cool
city cape by Elizabeth and James or this
showstopping cape by Derek Lam). Look for super-wearable coat styles, or short, cropped capelets that can be paired with jeans or a dress. If you're concerned about this trend's staying power, pick a budget-friendly piece like this
military-inspired cape from ASOS ($59 on sale) or this adorable
capelet from Forever for just $27.80. Would you wear a cape?
