The cape coat is an exciting way to add dimension to your winter look. After making a huge comeback on the Fall/Winter 2020 runways, style-watchers are expecting the statement silhouette to stick around for the long haul. Wear yours with a top-handle bag, a cognac belt, and a matching pair of boots.
