When you live in that climatic belt, where the autumn-winter time it lasts much more laid in theory of six months, you have to think a lot over the selection of outerwear. Of course, you can always buy a couple of similar black down jackets and raincoats on different temperature modes, sprinkling with a crowd, but for stylish young lady it is too simple and boring. In an elegance, we begin to appreciate the beautiful high-quality coats, but also their classic options over time. What to do? You can look at Cape!
So what is Cape? This piece of clothing came to us from the Knights of the Middle Ages, appreciated the convenience and heat, which provided such a type of sleeveless capes, with a hood and a clasp on the neck. A similar design did not hesitate movements, but reliably protected from the wind. It is these properties who later allowed the Cape to enter the "wardrobe" of the armed forces of many countries of the world, as well as gain popularity from the highest estates. So, for example, in Tsarist Russia, the ladies also wore Cape, often not suspected about it, for they called them traditionally "salop".
Who will suit Cape? First of all, girls whose type of figure is "Apple" (he is the "circle", he is "O-shaped"). Why? Correctly chosen in length and proportions, Cape (about it a little below) perfectly masks the complex waist area and abdomen, attracting attention to the cut and originality of things, and not to the lines of the top of the body, and also - to the legs that girls apple Most often deserve admiration.

What should be taken into account in order not to aggravate the "roundness" and not to give yourself massives? First, Cape must drop down, and not to pinch a wide cone. The form is more elongated than a pyramid, that is, it should still be a silhouette closer to the coat than to poncho. Sometimes even the model looks well with the belt, because, in the case of Cape, he does not lose her waist, but only stacked her line. Secondly, choosing Cape, it is necessary to take into account their growth and proportions. For miniature girls - options are not longer than the middle of the hips, otherwise there is a chance to turn into a "dwarf in a cloak of a tent", as one of my acquaintance was put. For brave, the option is also possible almost to the floor, but wearing it is exclusively with high-heeled shoes and only if the silhouette is rather semi-flexing than excessively free. In general, shorter models visually lengthen the legs, longer (for example, to the knee and especially before the middle of the caviar) - can "cut" and "crushing", therefore, such options will suit only high girls.

What to wear Cape? Ideally, it looks with pants. It is preferable that they facilitate the hips, make it, but from the middle of the hips, and not from the knee and not from the very base of the pants, otherwise the figure will look large and harder. Good with Capeami and narrowed pants, and trousers bananas if height and figure allow. When I want to make a more feminine set, for this purpose you will fit the dresses-cases and skirts-pencils. More A-shaped and wide skirt silhouettes are also possible, but with them you need a lot of caution: if the outlines of the skirt and cappa and the location of the waist line will not coincide perfectly, there is a danger, again, seem massive. Moreover, on the background of "active" skirts and a coat of legs can look at grotesque thin.

What styles will fit Cape? If you choose a monochrome model with hidden or low clasp, it will perfectly complement the wardrobe, aged in a classic, elegant, feminine style. More pedestal options in natural colors are an ethnic and sometimes lover - natural style. Capes with clashes a la dufflkot - Casual and relaxed country style, as well as feminine interpretations of Militari style. And finally, the spectacular capes in length over the floor, with a possible finish of fur and embroidery - this is the triumph of drama styles and complex romanticism.
It is believed that Cape is impracticious in a cold climate due to lack of sleeves. Believe me, this problem is easily solved by high-quality woolen jampers and long sleeves dresses, as well as such a stunning element of the female wardrobe (about which, by the way, we have already spoken!) Like gloves! In the case of Cape, they must be long - to the elbow.
You can summarize that Cape is an excellent addition to the autumn-winter wardrobe within almost any style and lifestyle.
Let your autumn be bright and elegant!
