Cape Coats

If you’re looking for a dramatic coat that not only keeps you warm but looks oh-so-chic, cape coats are the perfect option for you! This is a style that has been around for years but often comes back into style quite often. They can dress up almost any outfit instantly and because they’re oversized, they’re a great top layer during the winter months.

For casual days, try a plain-coloured, long-sleeved T-shirt or thin knit jumper. You want the coat to stand out as much as possible, so opt for simple pieces underneath but don’t forget to add a pop of colour if you’d like. Pair with dark wash jeans in a skinny or straight-leg style for the ultimate country lady casual look. Finish the look off with Chelsea boots, loafers, or boat shoes as trainers don’t suit this ensemble.

To dress up a cape coat, you could go for a tweed suit consisting of a blazer, waistcoat, and skirt. If you have a tweed cape coat, it’s best not to go too overboard with tweed. However, wool-blend cape coats look perfect with a tweed outfit. Pair with thick tights and knee-high leather boots for a cosy but stylish winter’s day and night look.

A collared shirt of any style looks amazing underneath a cape coat. Whether it’s tucked into a fitted skirt or worn oversized with a pair of jeans or trousers, it’s an item that should be in every country lady’s wardrobe.

A poncho is also an alternative to a cape coat, especially for dressier occasions like a trip to Cheltenham races. Our range of wool-blend tweed ponchos each comes in eight colourways as well as having a faux fur collar in a contrasting colour, adding to its style. You’ll be the talk of any event as the sophisticated lady dressed to the nines!
