Zara

The brown leather buckle adds a vintage feel to this cape, while the plaid makes it on-trend for autumn.

Zara, £79.99


Stella McCartney

Batwing sleeves and a self-tie belt make this charcoal cape one of the smarter coverups around.

Stella McCartney, £665, Net-a-Porter


COS

Camel is the colour of the season making this cape doubly on trend.

COS, £150, 020-7478 0400


French Connection

Pom poms and a hood give this navy cape a playful feel. Balance the oversized shape with skinny jeans.

This reindeer knit was made for cold weather thanks to its super warm angora and cashmere knit.

Paul & Joe

Emulate Little Red Riding Hood in this crimson cape – the oversized pockets add shape to this boxy style.

Paul & Joe, £415, Harveynichols.com


3.1 Phillip Lim

Look for capes with leather trims and padding for a nod to autumn’s military trend.

Reiss

Also available in navy and black, the sand shade is a softer way to wear a cape for day.

Reiss, £195


Topshop

A shearling cape is a subtler way to wear autumn’s hottest fabric. The mushroom shade is flattering to all skin tones too.

Topshop, £350


Whistles

Alter the shape by fastening the tabs depending on the occasion – by wearing it open, it lends itself for evenings.

Whistles, £225
