Pantone is an invented name from the 1960s and is the Standard for matching colors. Many markets, including fashion, home, paints, graphic arts, plastics, and industrial design sell products and services using this standard set of colors called the Pantone Matching System. Pantone has said that color “has always been an integral part of how a culture expresses the attitudes and emotions of the times.” For the first time Pantone introduces two shades, Rose Quartz and Serenity as the Pantone Color of the Year 2016.

We think so! If you’re into layering (and we are!) the Cape is the perfect solution to a jacket,not only for the warmth factor,  but for it’s versatility . Wear it belted, long and flowy, as a topper, as a dress, as a hoodie, over the shoulder or secured with a brooch! They’re great over skinny leggings and boots, cropped pants and flats, or as a “dress” , cinched in the middle with a belt. We love Aldo Martin’s classic plaid cape, Curio’s “Burberry” fringed cape, Parkhurst’s faux-fur trimmed cape, and Bitte Kai Rand’s long, shawl collar kimono-style cape. Check out  our “City Wrap”, in four colors, that can be worn 6-no 7!- different ways!
