Cape
A bit of history
Cape is a very popular element of women's wardrobe in our time. What is this thing? As a rule, this cloak is of a rather loose style, without sleeves. Instead, in the raincoat there are ordinary cuts for the hands. To some extent this is a kind of combination of cloak and cape in a single unit.
For the first time these models appeared in the 60s of the last century in England. Then the London beauties loved to throw such products on their shoulders.
How to choose and who will suit
Because of its original and very unusual style, this type of clothing is very difficult to choose and properly combine with other elements of the image. So that your choice will not disappoint you later, you need to clearly define your goal before buying, and more specifically, the purpose of this type of clothing: will it be some kind of formal option, as they say, “out”, or are you going to buy outerwear for everyday socks.
The size
Today, designers provide us with a huge selection of various options for this beautiful product. In fact, this raincoat is unique - it is equally suitable for a slender girl and slightly stout. The task is only to choose a style in accordance with its size and type of figure.
As for the size, choose products only in accordance with their proportions. The model should not constrain movement, but at the same time it should not be too wide, otherwise you risk to visually add yourself a couple of kilograms.
By type of figure
When choosing a cape style, attention should be paid not only to the size of the product, but also to the type of its figure. The cape of the cloak should depend directly on your proportions. If you choose the right model, you can hide the flaws and emphasize the advantages of your figure. After all, even the most stylish and trendy clothes, not matched to the type of figure, can ruin and distort the female silhouette.
If you have wide hips, then pay attention to the trapezoidal styles. In a raincoat of this kind, you can feel confident and comfortable, even if you have a few extra centimeters in the sides and hips. Also a great solution can be a cloak made of several parts. This option is a downward-expanding model.
You should not choose products overloaded with decorative elements. If you want to add some additional detail to your image, then let it be a wide belt at the waist.
Young ladies with broad shoulders, we recommend to look at models with a beautiful surround collar. But hooded coats are a great option for owners of luxurious breasts. In addition, women with lush breasts can afford the option with a neckline neckline. Such styles will emphasize your femininity.
