It depends where you are on Earth; in some places, it’s still not cold enough to wear jackets and coats, or it’s still chilli outside and warmer seasons are on the way. Nevertheless, what we have in common is the need to wrap ourselves in warmer fabrics.
And here it comes, Ray—a rectangular cape. I’m enjoying this simple and warm enough transitional piece of clothing. It adds some mystery and drape to our forms. And this simple construction looks good with dresses, jeans, and pyjamas ☺️
