Sunday Snag – Steal My Cape

How to style a vintage cape #vintage #styling #tips #fashion

Last Sunday I brought you the first of a Steal My Snag series that will be taking the place of regular outfit posts until the weather warms a bit and I can get outside. The first look I helped you steal was my "Picking Pansies" retro sweater (see here). Today I'll be helping you steal my "Fox & The Houndstooth" look with an emphasis on my 1960s cape. Mine is a black and white knee length houndstooth in a wool/acrylic blend. It is lined in cherry red with a mandarin style collar and large woven frog closures to the waist. See the original post with all my outfit details here. Below is a sampling of different cape styles to help you recreate my look or inspiration to create your own.
