Another trend is strutting towards the limelight and this one is a free-flowing blouse or jacket that sort of hangs on the shoulders. This trend goes by the name cape outfit– cape blouse, cape jacket, cape gowns. Below are a few ways to pair the cape outfit.

Cape top and pant trousers.

This look is part of the Nouva Couture 2016 Spring/Summer Collection and the outfits are gorgeous. They mostly involve office wear. Here, cape top is paired with high-waist pants so well that you just want to snatch it from the picture. This outfit looks so good it’s unreal

Also from the Nouva Couture collection. A plain colored cape top is worn over a floral body con dress and it gives off this elegant look. You could also wear a cape top over a pencil skirt – high-waist if the top isn’t long enough.

It’s not very clear how to describe this outfit. Cape pant suit? Cream colored pants is paired with same colored cape top to give a calm and sophisticated look. The Ankara turban adds a nice touch to the outfit.

The cape coat looks like a blazer but with a bit more flair. Pair your cape coat the same way you’d pair a blazer.
