A beautiful sweater cape can be styled in so many ways, while making the wearer look elegant. The best part? It helps to hide the extra tummy when you need to stuff yourself with food during the cold weather!
Malaysia doesn’t experience winter, but I’d imagine my wardrobe to be the following if I wanted to save on style and comfort. In the UK I used to wear a parka! Here’s my take on styling a sweater cape (which is worn last on your outfit):
LOOK #1
From L-R: Nasty Gal Sweater Cape; Tory Burch Turtleneck & Imitation Suede Pants
For the above look, with a loose cape sweater one would need to accentuate the bottom part by wearing something closer to the skin. A turtleneck sweater is probably one of those winter goods that you’d stay far away from because trust me, it doesn’t suit all sizes! However, this dual-toned turtleneck sweater from Tory Burch looks especially chic with its extended contrast cuffs would look really good under the sweater cape. Luckily, turtleneck sweaters generally look great with a cape sweater. Plus, you’ll feel extra snuggly and warm around the neck and fingers!
LOOK #2
From L-R: V-neck sweater; Nasty Gal Sweater Cape; Leather Skirt & Kiera Tall Boots
My only excuse for the above look? Leather skirt. Ohhh yes.
LOOK #3
From L-R: Flower Cut Out Midi Dress; Nasty Gal Sweater Cape & Two-Toned Pumps
The cut out flowers on the dress would look super cute under the sweater cape, besides….wearing an all-white ensemble is everything amazing!
As for bags, shoulder bags won’t fit well with a sweater cape due to the constraints. A sling bag or a clutch works best while wearing a sweater cape, and I’ve 4 perfect ones for it:
Clockwise from top left: Cross Body Bag; Satin Clutch; Leather Clutch & Mackage Cross Body Bag
So what do you think about the sweater cape? Yay or Nay?
