Janelle Monae is famous for her black and white menswear looks but recently, she ditched the suiting for a chic cape. The songstress hit the red carpet at the Trumpet Awards in a printed cape accented by a wraparound belt. A pair of leggings, cage sandals, oversize studs and a red lip brought her stylish look together.
Capes can be tricky but Ms. Monae shows us how to make it feminine and classy. She balances out the volume of the top with thin pants, and keeps everything else simple so the spotlight is on the cape. Want to give Janelle’s latest look a try? Nail it with these options.
