Superman had Winter 2010 sorted many years ago ...
Capes, those coats with the open front and slits to poke arms through, have been elevated to super-fashion status for the coming season.
Helped by the trend towards 1940s elegance, the cape is a garment those who like their clothes casual may struggleto incorporate into a wardrobe, but for those who dress chic for work or have a winter full of social events, the cape is the perfect top-it-off piece.
Whether in true 1940s style with a vintage fur shoulder cape or a long, almost vampire-ish cloak, the cape just adds that extra little bit of poshness and sophistication.
To avoid looking boxy, wear it with pencil-thin trousers or denim and short skirts and to avoid looking like you're drowning in a pool of fabric you'll definitely want to pair it with heels.
Once you've found that perfect cape, you'll have a friend for winter. They're as comforting as taking a bed out the door with you - the world's original snuggie.
