Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Thanks to the riding trend, womenswear was all about capes last fall, and judging from last week's men's shows, guys are following suit. No wonder: the lack of handbags makes this look even more wearable.
In addition to the classic coat, its whimsical substitute popped up in both Paris and Milan, at labels that ranged from luxury to avant-garde, and in all thinkable finishes.
While Alexander McQueen used blue tartan patterns and lambswool collars, Dior Homme and Kris van Assche went for more demure models in grey or black, fitted with buttons or zippers.
Labels including Frankie Morello and Roberto Cavalli got inspired by this winter's folklore trend and presented knitted, poncho-like capes in warm fall colors. Trussardi presented the luxury version in black leather, as opposed to Iceberg and Yves Saint Laurent who showed sweater-inspired designs fit for everyday life.
More adventurous designers, such as Walter von Beirendonck or Miharayasuhiro, gave the fashionable man even more to choose from, such as asymmetrical, layered and multi-colored capes.
