Capes were creeping into the trend cycle last autumn/winter, with scarf coats and exaggerated collars, but this year they have truly taken flight.

“Capes have this timeless elegance that feels both dramatic and effortless," explains image consultant and personal stylist Oriona Robb. “It has presence but moves beautifully with the body, which fits with today's more fluid and relaxed approach to formal dressing.”
But how do you wear one without feeling like you're channelling Superman?
