Fashion: Playing with volume

Capes

© Chanel

The cape is back, in all shapes and sizes (but mainly XL!).

Long ones, short ones, heavy knitted ones or lighter evening ones, in mono or bright colours - we're spoiled for choice.

+ Capes are sexy, mysterious and alluring, and you can wear anything underneath them: nothing is too bulky.
- Capes can make your chest look small, so make sure you show off your other assets!

Wear with short tops and skinnies to balance your look out.
