This season, we are mad about capes. Worn with skinny pants and any boot or heel height, a cape creates a stylish silhouette. And if you want to talk about travel essentials, a cape tops the list for packability and versatility. From topping jeans and white shirt, over slacks and turtleneck or flung over a cocktail dress, and long gloves for a night on the town, you create a fashion statement without even trying. This leather piece really caught our eye for packing a punch of city-glam whether New York, London, Paris, Istanbul or any other metropolitan ports of call. For more packing tips, see our new book Packing for Travel
