As it turns out, you can mix up your office style without pinging HR’s “Dressed Inappropriately” radar. Enter: the blazer cape.

I started jonesing for a blazer cape after seeing it pop up in a few fashion mags. Want, need, must have. Finally pulled the trigger on this gorgeous and suuuuuuper affordable version from Nasty Gal. (Seriously, under $75 for a blazer? Yes. And with a cape option? Double yes.)

I wore mine to the office with classic trousers and a sheer plaid Portofino shirt from Express, working in a little gold from BaubleBar and a little red with a pointed toe pump. What I love about the blazer cape is it works both as a 9-5 option and over a t-shirt + baggy boyfriend jeans for a spin on weekend chic. (Bonus: it also comes in ivory and burgundy. I want them all.)

This blazer cape is definitely going in heavy rotation. I can’t wait to wear it with holiday dresses, cozy knits, sweater leggings + boots… So many possibilities. And speaking of Express, they’ve started their Black Friday sale early– shop now to get 50% off everything. Every. Single. Thing. And free shipping on all orders. Goooo!

  30. It looks SO good on you! I thought about ordering it way back when, but I was worried it wouldn’t get much wear in my super relaxed office setting. Seriously, I wore and necklace with a sweater the other day and someone asked why I was so dressed up.
