A cape or overlay is nothing but a light jacket-like piece of clothing that is generally added to an outfit. The concept of "overlays" came from “capes”. Revisiting medieval Europe- tailors introduced the idea of capes, a loose jacket hanging from the shoulders. Henceforth, it became a universal style statement. 

Gradually, Indian designers adapted the light layering piece and incorporated it with the traditional kurtas, giving the quintessential Indian staple an indo-western spin. 

This statement silhouette promises a kurta's elegance and the functionality of a jacket. It can be said that this is the perfect work-wear outfit there is!
