If you're a fan of the cape/cloak trend that's been building over the last few seasons, you'll love Lindsey Thornburg's collection. Namely, for giving us the option to still wear a cloak in the summertime. These super soft, wool cloaks lack the tailoring of a proper winter garment (not that you couldn't cuddle into one when it's freezing) and so can be worn year round. In addition to their versatile tailoring, the cloaks also come in vibrant prints, like 'Tex Mex', that are cut-off-shorts-and-sandals appropriate. The prints were inspired by a trip to Machu Picchu, where Thornburg noticed "the versatility of the Highlanders attire". With cloaks in three different styles, each offered in six different wool prints, we think Thornburg did a great job manifesting that inspiration for her stateside clients.
