I was recently at a dinner party where someone was wearing the cutest little cape, and I immediately wanted to know where it was from. It turned out to be a British label called Cecilie Telle. It felt like perfect timing because, just days earlier, I had been telling a friend that ponchos and capes were making a comeback, and she almost didn’t believe me.

Not long after that conversation, she sent me a post of Emily Dawn Long wearing her namesake brand’s River Shawl with the caption, “She’s a top. She’s a shawl. She’s a scarf. She’s a blanket”—half-jokingly responding with, “Ponchos and capes are in,” finally getting what I meant.
