In your experience, how warm are capelets? I’m thinking about buying/making one for a Christmas coord I’m working on and using it instead of a jacket, but I’d be wearing it to an outdoors event in 30-40 degree weather and would like an opinion before I go and make myself sick!

lolita-tips:

How warm they are depends a lot on what they’re made out of just like coats. Most of the time anything made of wool or a wool blend will be your warmest option. However, since they tend to not hug the body as closely as a coat they tend to allow more airflow which can be trouble when it’s freezing outside. That being said, it’s a similar effect to wearing a skirt or dress in cold weather and the cold can be combated by wearing warm layers underneath. Still maybe not the best option for extended periods of time in freezing weather though.
