Caped Crusader: Fall's Hottest Cover-up Trend


Balmain

Looking to add a little drama to your Fall wardrobe? I've got the perfect piece that is both functional and dynamic: the cape.  Blame it on fashion's current obsession with superheroes, but this season's runways have been filled with would-be crusaders. Whether double-breasted, toggled, or covered in houndstooth or plaid, they've been a standout trend for Fall 2013.

Designers have rediscovered the cape for Fall, working the traditional topper in a variety of modern ways, from short and sweet to sweeping and mysterious.  These coverups won't have you looking like you just came from Comic Con; in fact, they're chic, sleek, and surprisingly un-superhero-y. However, I can promise that they have some serious superpowers when it comes to transforming your look from blah to ka-BOOM!

Okay, enough comic-book references. Instead, here's an insider tip: When that mercury really plummets on the thermometer, these bad boys will make for great toppers to jazz up your parkas and puffers.  Check out the captivating looks below to see which designers did the best takes on the cape—and to shop some great ones that are available right now. After all, they're the perfect piece to get you through the tricky fall-to-winter transitional temperatures ahead.
