There’s nothing cozier than a luxurious wrap that not only highlights your outfit, but keeps you warm when the weather starts to change. For even greater style impact, we suggest choosing something with a truly unique pattern, something that supports Indigenous creatives.
Looking for style tips? Here are 5 ways to cultivate the look and punch up your cape game:
1) Go Casual
A cape can be dressed up or down, so start with a relaxed vibe, worn comfortably with jeans and boots. Perfect for day trips, shopping, outdoor time... whatever fall fun you have planned.
2) Take It To The Next Level
Elevate your cape to a stunning statement piece with an all-black, upscale casual look. Add boots for maximum effect.
3) Top It Off
Introduce a beret to your ensemble for extra style panache. If you start to feel a little French, so much the better!
4) Belt It
Add dimension and shape by belting your cape and pairing with a long skirt for a completely different take.
5) Accessorize!
Without heavy sleeves, your arms are free to display your favourite bangles. Chunky rings can also be shown to their full advantage.
If you’re hoping to experiment with this look and add a special piece to your wardrobe this fall, the Eagle cape can be conveniently ordered online. It is also available in the “Tradition” design by Namgis artist, Ryan Cranmer, in Red/Black and Black/White.
