Cashmere will keep you warm and will feel softer over the years. Since longevity is a rare thing to find with materials, cashmere comes with a higher price tag. But, in my opinion, it is well worth it. It is a great gift to give or receive, and soft wool-cashmere blends are appropriate for the holiday weather and the warm spirited theme of the season.
J.Crew has a drop-dead gorgeous peplum coat. The exquisite style infuses this jacket with a combination of Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O. styles. I consider this coat a must have. The feminine and flattering style has perfect lines, and the extra flap that carries from pocket to the back gives this jacket an illusion that it is a skirt suit. I love the meticulous style and it is nice to know that cold weather doesn’t always equal bulky, ugly long jackets. This jacket proves this 100%.

I love capes when worn with skinny jeans. This cashmere horn button cape is a warm blanket with a little fashion flair that pairs well with tight jeans and some killer boots. I love how it sits on the hips without looking like a big trash bag. Although this style is not for every body type, there are ways to wear it to give it a glamorous look.
