Let’s talk capelets.

You read that right – CAPELETS.

Now. I don’t own one, but I think the trend is suggesting a growing capelet population, and I think they are rather charming, in an armless-ish sort of way…

Which brings me to a question… what exactly IS a capelet?

It depends on Google, and what words the retail-ites decide to use to tag their product. No really. A short jacket with roomy sleeves, might also be tagged as “capelet”. A sleeveless piece without a front opening (say, a shrug or shawl) may be also be labeled a “capelet”.

Then there is the issue of length. At what point does a capelet become a cape?

I actually could care less. I am liking the trend toward capes these days too.

Regardless of the specifics… one thing is certain – there are some pretty fabulous “capelets” out there… regardless of sleeves, buttons or length…
