Fall/Winter 2011 Fashion Trend: Capes and Ponchos


It looks like this trend will be sticking around for another fall/winter season!  Whether you love or hate this trend, capes and ponchos were even more prevalent on the AW2011 runways this year than last year (Above: Zac Posen; Rachel Roy; Rebecca Minkoff; Michael Kors).  And they are appearing in even more styles, lengths, colors, and patterns.  I haven't purchased a cape or poncho myself, but I'm not ruling it out completely.  It all comes down to finding the right one!  If you want to give this trend a try during the upcoming cooler months, below are some options to consider:  Aryn K tie-front cape for $98 on www.nordstrom.com; ASOS bright intarsia pattern cape for $45.74 on www.asos.com; Express belted cape for $148 on www.express.com; Hinge stripe oversized poncho for $88 on www.nordstrom.com; Tahari "Belle" capelet for $148 on www.nordstrom.com; Tinley Road buckle-front cape for $89 on www.piperlime.com; Kookai hooded cape for $345.78 on www.asos.com; BB Dakota "Calhoun" cape for $130 on www.piperlime.com; MinkPink "Bolivia" poncho for $108 on www.nastygal.com; Caslon merino wool toggle cape for $149 on www.nordstrom.com; Tinley Road "Fielder" cape coat for $89 on www.piperlime.com; Caslon marled poncho for $89 on www.nordstrom.com.
