Rock My Style reader Rebecca (and former RMW Real Bride) is the proud owner of a super soft and stylish Biba feather cape and would like our help to ruffle her feathers during the party season.

@RockMyStyleBlog Help! Desperately want a party outfit that goes with my petrol black #BIBA cape – any ideas?! x

The lovely Rebecca is a frequent commenter on RMS so we feel it’s only right to help her out with the Christmas party dilemma submitted to us via Twitter.
To see the cape in question, please take a little look at the ‘shop the post’ section at the bottom of the feature. Unfortunately I couldn’t find an image large enough to slot into our slider above.

Maxi

For the ultimate party outfit you can’t go wrong with a sequin maxi. I haven’t seen this Dorothy Perkins one in real-life but it looks very similar to ones I’ve seen for three times the price.
For the greatest impact it may be an idea to contrast the feathers with a sexy bit of shoulder. When I was researching this post I found an image of a blogger wearing a vivid red sleeveless maxi paired with the feather cape. You can pick up a similar one from Warehouse.

Midi

With such a glam accessory I’m tempted to suggest playing it down with a super stylish long sleeved dress. I’d always plump for a black version such as this long sleeved frock from Mango (with subtle embellishment if the cape does come off during the evening). However Boohoo have a ridiculously bargainous forest green midi for the tiny price of £10. I’m sure a deep merlot red colour would also make a fab combination too.

Sequins

The cape has a very subtle emerald and blue shimmer so if Rebecca really wanted to make a statement then how about combining with this very snazzy sequinned number from Asos. or if that’s too short you could go more demure with a Miss Selfridge pencil skirt and a plain top.

Detail

If you’d prefer not to wear a dress, then how about wearing smart slim black pants with an embellished top instead such as this metallic yarn cami from Oasis? If heavy detailing all seems a bit too much then you could choose a black lace cami with detail along the hem for a more subtle combination.

Now it’s over to you lovely ladies to unleash your inner Gok. How would you style this pretty plumage into a fun and dramatic outfit?
