Styling Guide

Discover how to style your MIKA Classic Cape for various occasions, from casual outings to formal events. Our styling tips will help you make the most of this versatile piece.

When styling, follow the “Sandwich Method” - wear only two colors, arranged in an alternating order for balance. For example: black jacket, white pants, black shoes. It creates a balanced, cohesive look.

Also remember the “Rule of Three”: choose one focus - form, texture, or color, and keep everything else minimal. Highlighting just one element at a time keeps your look balanced and intentional.
