CAPES, CAPE DRESSES, CAPE-LIKE JACKETS ARE TAKING OVER FALL

If you missed last Tuesdays episode of Fashionology Today, you missed an amazing show! Special guest, Bloomingdales Stylist, Mr. Carl Johnson, shared his top Fall 2024 jackets, currently taking over Bloomingdales racks!


A cape takeover has landed! Whether you are traditional in your everyday style, and go-for the classic cape, or opt for a mixed media cape, Bloomingdales has dozens of various options for you. During Fashionology Today, tv show host, Annie Rigsby, shared with viewers her favorite cape jacket is a decade or more Ralph Lauren Navy Blue in color with brown leather toggle closures. This classic style cape is BACK! This time, a traditional black cape jacket can be found from BCBG at Bloomingdales.


We are in love with the cape jackets made from a variety of fabrications. Quilted cape jackets are a great way to keep your core worm, while providing a freedom for your arms to move. This is a great option for the woman walking to work, where it's cold in the morning and warm as the day rolls on. MAX Mara simply takes the cake for overall stylish, yet timeless jackets this Fall. Whether you grab a Max Mara quilted cape or a Max Mara quilted pullover short sleeve jacket, you can't go wrong!


Wrap yourself in the latest cape-like jackets, we at FBTV Network are calling - Cape-Cardi Jacket. This is a new silhouette debuting this season, which takes a cape style and a cardigan, wrapped together in a short sleeve cardigan look with various closures. This type of cape is a great way to look very put together while running errands, taking kids to school and would amazing for travel! We love this version from VINCE, also at Bloomingdales and we adore the ECHO version with ribbed knitting in two colors, brown and black. This style of outerwear, keeps you worm, but helps to not overheat you, especially when out and about on a busy day. You can also pair an endless amount of tops and bottoms with this version, while doing so can create a dressed up outfit or a Saturday stylish easy-going outfit. We love introducing growing brands to our viewers, and the Krooples Cape-Cardi Jacket wins the Number One Ribbon! This incredible option is also ON SALE NOW! Pair this version with a blouse and dark denim with kitten heel boots to dress up, while throwing on your Adidas Sambas and a sweatshirt or simple long sleeve shirt underneath to dress down this cape-cardi jacket. Either way, this silhouette offers an enormous amount of possibilities, which make a great travel jacket for anyone! Wrap up in this version on any airplane or train ride out of the city this weekend and feel sophisticated and on-trend doing so!


Mr. Johnson also gave our viewers a preview of Spring 2026 cape-dresses! This season, the cape-dress is making its return and Bloomingdales offers a huge variety of this silhouette. Johnson stylishly pointed out, the cape-dress is a great option for middle aged women, offering a way to cover the top arms many women don't love, while doing so in a chic way. Bloomingdales does not fail in the quantity of cape-dresses available today! We love too many! Zac Posen's version offers a pleated chiffon and in a red-hot hue, while Ralph Lauren offers a contemporary version perfect for, anyone. CEO, FBTV, Annie Rigsby, owns a vintage Nanette Lapore cape-dress which she pairs with over the knee boots with kitten heels and alternatively with Prada Platform Sandal. Bringing vintage back, the selection of cape-dresses are truly endless and Mr. Johnson gave viewers some great options!


For the younger consumer, we love the cape jackets with bows! ALICE & OLIVIA is our favorite cape jacket with a twist this Fall. Alice & Olivia designer and founder, Stacey Bendet, creates a timeless and contemporary version with the black and white colors and angled hems. Shown at Bloomingdales over a mini, but imagine this version with a pair of Rag N Bone NEW Miramar Jeans and Dior Loafers, to create a very chic look without looking like it took any effort at all! If you have not seen the Miramar jean from Rag N Bone, stop what you are doing and head to Bloomingdales now to try these jeans on. Jeans, that are not jeans at all! The Miramar Jean is made from Rag N Bone revolutionary fabric with printing technique to appear like a jean, when the pant is made from terry cloth and other soft fabrics. Grab your Miramar pair today and be ready for the weekend ahead!


Being ready for Fall can be a stressful time of year. Many people have trouble staying stylish with the weather changing and weather changes that can happen from morning to lunch and lunch to dinner.
