  1. Comfy Casual

If you’re looking for a comfy yet chic outfit to wear this season, capes are the perfect way to stay warm and in style. Browse the sweater and jacket section of your local Goodwill store for outfit inspiration. They’re perfect for layering throughout the season and come in a great selection of styles and colors. I really love the fringe at the bottom of the cape in the featured photo below. Especially if you live somewhere a little bit warmer this season, this is definitely a trend to take advantage of.
