The cape is back with a swing in 2010, leaving any associations with comic book crusaders in the distant past. The sleeveless outer garment became fashionable in medieval Europe and has since regained popularity intermittently. The style is effortless and elegant and suits most body shapes. It’s typically waist-length and minimal in detail, making it the ideal backdrop for your sparkly Christmas party dress on these cold Winter nights.
