I understand that modern outer layers are more functional. A leather jacket, for example, can be dressed up or down so as to be worn in a variety of situations. It is also better at keeping you warm.
However, I think capes/cloaks are more aesthetically pleasing garments. It also feels good to have the fabric flowing around you as you walk. But what do you think?
Bram Stoker must have had somewhat of a hand in the decline in popularity of capes.
If you want to make money in the Star Wars universe, go into the cloak trade.
You will never be poor.
I would love to but sadly people will think i am weird.
I think once my kids learned how to make blanket caps a lot of things ended up broken in a very short timeframe and I banned capes.
When I read this, I can't help but think of the "no capes" scene from The Incredibles.
In all seriousness, they were a uniquely Roman-area thing (moreso before its fall and people like the Gauls wanted less association with their Roman roots). You just don't associate them with the Chinese, Indians, Incans, etc. I'd wear a cape if they weren't more associated with men, would be cooler than sitting here in a quarter zip sweater over a blue plaid shirt and jeans, some normie I am.
I think you're just wearing that look wrong:
You can make almost anything look great, but it's a skill.
Haven’t you ever seen the Incredibles? NO CAPES!
LOL! I'm actually in the market for a cloak. Been prowling the 2nd hand stores
because we have become indescriptibly cringe
If you have the confidence, wear whatever you wish.
My trench coat is kind of like a cape. It's really impractical on my motorcycle.
Who is we?
Because we live in hell now and a cape would cook us.
Depends on the fabric and color. Look at arab countries, people there use tunics and loose clothing that cover most of their bodies and are mostly fine in +40°C
Do you remember Thunderhead?
It's just not in nowadays. But I'm sure the day will come when it's back in style, just like any other fashion choice.
