Invest in one of this season's biggest outerwear trends that you can throw over anything. Well not anything... Don't throw it over a fire. Be reasonable.
1
The geometric
Khaki geo print blanket knit, £28, Dorothy Perkins
Layer up over cream knits and boyfriend jeans for a cool boho look.
2
The pullover
Chevron pullover cape, £25, Next
A nod to the navajo-inspired trend, this would look great with leather skinnies and lots of gold jewellery. Think more Rachel Zoe, less Wild Wild West.
3
The poncho
Knitted asymmetric poncho cape, £79, Jigsaw
Minimal and in the perfect shade of grey, this will add serious chic to black trousers and killer heels.
4
The wool
Pure wool checked blanket wrap, £45, Marks & Spencer
The ultimate cosy wrap - throw it over a cashmere polo neck and pencil skirt for an easy workwear update.
5
The check
Checked cape, £28, Miss Selfridge
Pile this over a cute floral dress for just the right amount of clashing prints.
6
The cashmere
Cashmere blanket wrap, £380, Madeleine Thompson at Net-a-porter
The most luxurious in the list, this wrap is perfect for those who travel often, or just like to be in a constant state of snuggle.
7
The cardigan
Grid checked blanket cardigan, £24.99, New Look
A grungier take on this trend, try layering up your flannel shirts with band tees or vintage lace.
8
The knit
Knit cape, £38, Next
Smarter and more of a traditional shape, this cape works best with LBDs and sharp tailoring.
9
The aztec
Aztec blanket cardigan, £42, Oasis
Jazz up a plain white tee or summer sun dress with this monochrome number.
10
The faux fur
Faux fur collar fleece wrap, £45, Marks & Spencer
A great alternative to a jacket for a night out - seriously glamourous.
11
The stripe
Grey stripe blanket cape, £35, River Island
Grey goes with everything pretty much, and this stripy number ticks all the boxes.
13
The multi
Multi-stripe blanket cape, £35, Topshop
This is the perfect festival cover-up. You're welcome
14
The tribal
Tribal print blanket cardigan, £42, Warehouse
A much more structured style, this is for those too scared to go big with the blanket vibes.
15
The gingham
Gingham blanket cape, £109, Zara
No this isn't an actual blanket. But hey, there's a good DIY fashion idea. If you can't be arsed, just buy this.
