The structured shoulders with dramatic volume create a powerful, commanding silhouette. The three-quarter kimono-style sleeves add elegance and allow for graceful movement, while the black trim creates bold contrast that defines the cape's edges and adds graphic impact.

The geometric cross-back design is a stunning detail visible from behind, creating visual interest and architectural beauty. The black bands cross over the burgundy and coral print, creating a striking pattern that's both structural and decorative.
