Denim cape. Should I?

gardensla — Wed, 28 Feb 2018 12:36:38 GMT

I think this over a shorter black dress or leggings would be sort of cool. It's 100.00 bucks, at Zara.

Yes or no?

@jackthebear

I'm 5'7" and I tend to wear 3" heels. So 5'10" most days.

IMO, NO! It's okay but I think it's overpriced.

I love denim and I love capes. But a denim cape? Not terribly fond of it.

Kinda cool. You could rock it, but Cost Per Wear?

CPW would be pretty large I think! Maybe just something different to toss over a sequin skirt and sweater?

I do wish it were in the 50-60 dollar range!

I like to buy long sweaters, coats so this would work for me. Denim tends to be heavy so I wouldn’t size up that’s for sure. I’m 5’7” also. Enjoy if you buy it.

I like it.

I might not like those armholes, though - I think I'd rather it have slits, but I do think it's pretty cool.

I like it and thinks its cool. If you want it and would wear it then go for it.

@gardensla

I'm a cape lady from way, way back ... so I'd say yes! I wouldn't wear this particular one because of it's length on me ... but you're a tall drink of water, so for you it'll be just great!

Definitely yes! You like it. It's cool. Enough said.

I would look at price per wear and make a decission. I was tempted by the Gili cape blazer in pink, the oher night, but passed. The price per wear for me wasn't worth it.

I wear a lot of capes, ponchos and ruanas. Slits for the arms (as pictured) are most confining. For this reason, I find I seldom wear the ones I have with this construction.

That being said, the cape pictured by @gardensla is cute. (and unusual)

Like the concept.

Concern...would the weight of the material continue to ‘pull back’?

IOW would you have to keep tugging on it in front to bring the collar

up to where it should be?

@sidsmom

Great question. I think I will order it and give it a whirl.

I love to have a few unexpected things in my closet and this isn't anything I've seen before.

Could be a total fail, could be awesome.

Try it on and see

FWIW I got a pair of jeans there for $15 in January so you can try to wait it out

I don't wear jeans.

But I do have a denim vest that I wear sometimes and it's a great accessory piece and I always get compliments. it's probably 10 years old.

But due to my tight budget, most things I buy have to be practical, not just fun or trendy. Personally, I wouldn't get much use out of this cape being in the south, short wearing season. But I actually like the concept.

Hope you enjoy it.
