This ‘Effortlessly Chic’ $37 Coat Alternative That Shoppers Love Reminds Us of Meghan Markle and Julia Roberts

Have you ever wanted to leave the house wrapped in your favorite cozy blanket? Anyone who has owned a Snuggie has at least thought about making them a fashion statement, especially during the cold weather.

You can easily replicate that cocooned feeling, without giving away, ahem, the couch, with the Moss Rose open-front cape jacket, which is currently on sale and reminds us of the ones we’ve seen on celebs like Julie Roberts and Meghan Markle. Not to be confused with the clothes that catch the wind and help superheroes fly, cape coats are essentially jackets that let your arms have free reign, leaving you feeling less restricted and avoiding the inevitable penguin waddling required to wear puffier coats.

This cape, also called a poncho-shawl, has a loose, open front, but can easily be cinched and belted or tucked in using a hidden fabric loop. It’s made from a cashmere-like polyester blend that reviewers say is “so warm” and feels “like wearing a cozy blanket.”

Although there’s only one size, the coat alternative comes in a range of neutral solid colors as well as geometric mesh patterns, which are versatile and stylish, yet add interest to any look. It can easily be worn over any outfit like a jacket, scarf or even a shoulder strap to cover up a sleeveless dress.

For these reasons and more, the robe has earned more than 3,700 five-star ratings, with customers calling it “effortlessly chic.” One reviewer wrote that it’s “very versatile since it can be turned around,” making it ideal for pairing with a black dress. Another person, who gets “so many compliments” when she wears it, said: “It’s so soft and comfortable – so much so that I bought another one in a different colour.”

Someone else remarked that he was the perfect companion. “I took it on a long flight and could use it as a blanket on a cold plane,” they wrote. “It looks very sharp and sophisticated.”

You really can’t get any easier than throwing a blanket-like garment over your shoulder and out the door. Winter may be coming to an end, but scarves are so versatile that they’re worth having on hand all year round—for flights, chilly movie theaters, and even campfire nights.
