This is such a good autumn layer, smart enough to dress up an outfit but relaxed enough to throw on with jeans.

Made in Italy from soft suedette fabric, this cape has the look of suede without the weight or fuss. The flowing cape sleeves give it a gorgeous shape, while the gold-tone buttons add a military flair. Wear it loose for a relaxed silhouette or use the matching tie belt to pull it in at the waist.

It works brilliantly over lightweight knits, shirts and long-sleeved tops, making it ideal for those in-between days when a full coat feels like too much.

Why we love it:

• Soft suede-look finish
• Flattering cape shape
• Matching tie belt, wear it belted or loose
• Gold-tone button fastening
• Plenty of room for layering
• Free size
• Made in Italy
• 95% polyester, 5% elastane
• Machine washable at 30°C

Styling tip: Try it with straight or wide-leg jeans and boots for an easy autumn outfit, or over a dress when you want something a little smarter
