Trending Cape Coats

There is something so chic about a cape or poncho styled with a fall outfit. This year some brands are adding cape details to trench coats and barn jackets which is so unique! A classic cape or poncho is always timeless but adding a cape detail onto a regular piece of outerwear is really a new way to experiment with this trend. Here are some of my favorite cape coats at all price points:

Cape Coats

JMcLaughlin Merlot Solid Terin Cape

The color is what first got me with this cape but I absolutely love the leather tie-waist detail. It allows you to create a bit of structure and shape to the cape.

Donna Karan New York Water Repellent Raincoat with Cape

If you need a raincoat for work, this may actually be the most gorgeous one I’ve found. It’s a statement piece but still in a neutral color which works with any outfit.

Lauren Ralph Lauren Wool Blend Cape

A true cape that really gives that perfect a-line shape. The color is beautiful for fall while the buckle detail at the neck makes it look more luxe.

Me+Em Brown Curve Seam Cape

This cape fits like a traditional pea coat with sleeves and a collar. The only difference between this and a pea coat is the flare out shape at the bottom.

J.Crew Wool-Cashmere Blend Turtleneck Poncho

If you want a poncho that you can wear as your outfit rather than an outerwear piece, I love this option. I would still layer a turtleneck or crewneck teeĀ  underneath but just imagine how comfy this would be to wear all day!

Sea NY Carolyn Cape Jacket

This is VERY trendy but there is something about it that I love. I think it is the mix of the harshness of a utility jacket with a feminine cape flair.

Sentaler Wool Cape

A total splurge but honestly it is a stunner! Talk about an investment piece that you will have for decades.

Alice Walk The Cape

If you prefer a basic cape with no added details or accessories, this is the perfect choice. It’s minimalist look actually makes it look very luxe and chic.

Tuckernuck Olive Fletcher Wax Poncho

Many ponchos in this list are a bit dressier so I wanted to include a very casual option. I love this as an alternative to a more masculine style wax barn coat that is so popular right now. This would look great with jeans and rain boots for a weekend outing.

Burberry Trench Cape Coat

Let me just imagine and dream with this one, ok?!?!!!! The price tag will give you major sticker shock but I literally gasped when I saw this. A true work of art!!

Avec Les Filles Faux Suede Cape Coat

Besides a traditional waist length cape coat, I’ve seen a ton of version of longer coats with a cape flair around the shoulders. I personally love this and find it so unique. For those who have a more expressive sense of style, I think this coat is a must have!
