Description
A cape only works against a straight line. All the volume in this garment sits above the hip — wide through the body, wider still at the sleeve — so what goes underneath has to be narrow or the whole silhouette turns into a column of fur with a head on top. Over a slim trouser or a pencil skirt it is dramatic; over anything full it is a tent.
That is not a flaw, it is the design. This black mink cape coat is meant to be the one loud thing you are wearing, which is why it is shown here over a plain black top and a narrow jean and nothing else. There is no fastening, so it hangs open and the line underneath stays visible, doing exactly the job the shape needs.
Black is the version that reads as evening without trying. See the black mink coats, what is new this season, and what is currently reduced in the clearance sale.
