Covered Up in a Cape

Looking for a new look to stay warm this winter?  Try wearing a cape.  The different styles of capes change both the warmth and the style look.  The key thing when wearing a cape is the fit of the clothing you pair it with, so you don't end up looking larger than you truly are.
