Capes and ponchos fall into this same “Snuggle Up” trend that I shared in my video. The cape, in particular, was seen at this season’s fashion shows in New York and London and it’s looking like the cape isn’t going to be a single-season trend, but will be sticking around for a while. The new styles are more modern and can even have a sporty or preppy feel to them - so don’t think of them as something you would only see on “Bridgerton”. I could have easily shared my plaid cape in yesterday’s “Preppy” trend. There is a subset of the preppy trend that’s being labeled “Country House Chic”. It’s dressing like you’re going to a house in the English Countryside. Think plaids, relaxed layers, long skirts, waxed jackets, checked coats and knee-high wellies.
