As capes are heading towards a major breakthrough this season, it is natural to look back on time from where it all began. If truth be told, capes were initially worn to protect the wearer. It was also worn to signify the rank, but the Victorian era marked the introduction of capes in the fashion history. With time, capes have witnessed a revolution in terms of new cuts, designs and prints finding a permanent place in the wardrobe of millenials. They have become more stylish and wearable than ever.
For someone looking to add an extra zing to their usual style, capes render that perfect balance to don an outfit for every occasion. No matter how much we enjoy wearing traditional attires, this western influence has found a special place in our heart. Deepika Padukone, Kriti Sanon and Rakul Preet were spotted in some timeless cape options.
