All wrapped up for Autumn

Get wrapped up for Autumn with a simple and stylish coverup poncho or cape. 

The Seasons are changing and the cold mornings will start creeping up quickly. But you don't need to change your daily 'uniform' dramatically you just need a coverup with flexibility!

No doubt our lifestyles are changing and many of us might not even have the need for a heavy winter coat this year. But in and out of cars, shops or the occasional office visit means we're probably over heated or over chilled!

What we need is a simple, practical and inexpensive solution. 

What's your lifestyle?

Whether you're in jeans or the smartest of suits a warm wrap or cape will keep you warm without compromising your existing outfit. This is a far more elegant option than trying to fit everything under a structured coat.  

Depending on your mode of travel and the time of the year you can choose between a simple lightweight poncho/blanket wrap or something a little heavier.    

The most important thing to be aware of is that whether you're shopping, doing the school run or on your way to the office, it's essential that your arms are free for bags, briefcase, shopping or children!  

But which suits YOU?

Sudden changes of temperature can be quite over-whelming so the ability to whisk a warm layer on and off at will is a joy! I've looked at two different weights, both of them easy to wear and with fastenings to stay in place.

This is not a major Winter coat purchase, they're both reasonably priced from where else but Amazon, easy to buy, easy to return if they're not to your taste! 

Blanket wraps will certainly keep you wrapped up for Autumn but they can be difficult to keep in place.

That's why I've chosen this clever little number which has a button fastening on the shoulder to hold it firmly in place. It drapes elegantly whatever you're wearing.

The benefits of this blanket wrap:

• warmth without adding bulk

• makes a great addition to your travel wardrobe doubling up as a blanket!

My second choice is a warm and roomy cape/cloak, satin lined throughout with a large hood and 3 vintage horn buckles to close.

In a soft and weighty wool blend, it will easily cover a jacket or an oversized sweater.

With neat armholes and fastenings at the neck, it also has a drawstring around the hood to keep out the chills.

Windproof and durable, it comes in navy, black or khaki. 

The benefits of a cape/poncho with fastening...

• Smarter than a wrap as it stays in place

• Your arms are free

• Brings all your separates together, minimal expense maximum coverage

• No size problems, one size fits all, light and easy to carry

• No hems or sleeve length to bother about if you're tall or short
  

• It can be worn casual or dressy over pants or a skirt

• Wrapped up for Autumn without restriction

• Perfect for travel, fold up and use as a blanket or cushion

• Add a fur beanie hat to either topper for chic sophistication
