"Cloaks: Snuggies With Panache"

Cold weather is on its way! Break out your peacoat cloak! This fall, cloaks are all the rage amongst top designers. Cloaks made their debut appearance two years ago in Fall 2009, but haven't fully escaped the runway and hit the general public until now. These high-fashion garments are very different, but know how to draw in the attention--in a good way! Cloaks are a great way to get away with wearing even your pajamas out to the grocery store. They are polished and dressy and can conceal the excessively casual look you're hiding underneath! Cloaks are also a flash back in the fashion industry. They were highly popular in medieval times and in the early 19th century. This is definitely a trend that anyone can pull off.  So if you're out there looking for a new fall style to rock with jeans and boots or maybe even tights and heels...this is your look.
