Bored with your outfits? Bring a change to your wardrobe by introducing capes to your clothing. You can transform the way you look with different kinds of capes, says an expert.

"Embellished capes take a simple dress, turn it on its head, transform it into a high fashion look. Drape away to amplify the glam factor indifferent styles," Safia Khan Bagga, founder and creative director of brand by her own name, said in a statement.

Here is what Bagga summed up:

* Long cape: The most elegant of cape looks, the floor length long cape is instantly arresting and elusive. Fully embellished or lightly, it is a stunner. Keep it sheer and airy in tulle, organza or net for spring and summer and go bold in cashmere during colder season.

*Circular cape: A circular cape makes for quite an alluring look. From dressing up dresses to pants to saris, this elegant piece drapes the shoulders and falls with a beautiful feminine flourish.

Regardless of the material, it renders a fashion-forward sense to the whole look. Versatile in its varying length, waist to mid calf, it single-handedly covers the whole spectrum of events with a swing.

* Asymmetrical cape: An asymmetrical cape, dresses up trousers-- cigarette or wide legged, most elegantly. One of the chicest pieces for layering on an intangible fashion edge, this cape style makes a bold statement.

* One shoulder cape: Enchanting and feminine one shoulder cape creates a covetable silhouette. Working up a storm with strapless outfits, it has an eternal high fashion appeal. It is an essential piece for making a style statement.

* Shoulder cape: Perfect little powerful piece that covers over almost all style staples. Fur, feather, embellished silk or tulle, this particular style has a license to liven up almost all types of looks.
