They say one should never be a doormat...but they've never said one shouldn't wear a doormat either. And thanks to Olivia Palermo and Cara Delevingne, they will now.

Both the New York City socialite and the UK model rocked Burberry Prorsum's latest foray into outwear—the rug cape. It literally looks like the designers of the iconic British brand grabbed this flat fabric off the floor of their showroom and slapped it on a model.

We're not going to let Olivia's perfect legs in those thigh-high boots or Cara's killer catwalk stance distract us from the fact that the shawl portion of this look is miserable. Not only are the colors drab, but the shape (or lack thereof) makes these two look huge—and they are both anything but.

We support the idea of a cape versus a jacket and we even love a thick, interesting material. But this slouchy fall "fashion" belongs on the floor. What's your take on the would-be trend?
