As in, for daily life, outside of cosplay, sex stuff, and Halloween?

Do you believe you could pull a cape off?

 

[BronsonLee]

Only if I'm immediately going to fight crime

 

[Candeldandel]

Totally.

 

[Pickles Spill]

 

[SuperEpicGuy]

There's no such thing as "fashionably wearing a cape".

 

[Palmer_v1]

Came for this, I leave satisfied.

 

[Zacagawea]

No. I am a big proponent of ponchos, however.

 

[TheKaeptain]

In a fucking heartbeat. This is something that needs to make a come back.

 

[Doogington]

 

[LaserBuddha]

Like fedoras, women can wear capes and its fine. Those guys though look ridiculous. I mean what the hell is that.

 

[Sch1sm]

Not even if it was tailored specifically for my average 5'4". Nope.

 

[way more]

I'm kind of a codpiece guy myself.

 

[royalan]

Well, capes for women never really went out of style. They've always been in fashion in one form or another.

But for men. As long as they're modern and I have a reason to dress lavishly? Heck yeah. This guy's cape is especially hot:

Now that's style.


But that "one step above cosplay" old-fashioned cape on top of some blue jeans shit? Naah.

 

[Monocle]

Only if I were having tea with Christopher Lee.

 

[Apt101]

No.

 

[Magwik]

Most likely not
Hero coats though? Yes.

 

[manzoman96]

The best answer

 

[Einchy]

That looks fucking cool.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

That looks fucking cool.

This dude looks like a legit superhero from a YA novel or CW superhero show.

 

[VARIA]

Oh man, just imagine how easy it would be to mug some dumbass in a cape. Wrap that shit around his head, give him a punch or two to the face and snatch their wallet.

Spoiler

Sorry, just rewatched A Clockwork Orange; there's violence in the air.

The only reason it looks okay is because at first glance it resembles a long jackwt worn over the shoulders. In other words it succeeds in its un-capeyness. He looks like a dracula tho.

 

[freenudemacusers]

yes

i still wait for this to pop up on ebay. any day now.

 

[TheKaeptain]

yes

i still wait for this to pop up on ebay. any day now.

Would rock.

 

[evilromero]

Even the models you listed can't pull it off.

 

[liliththepale]

I have one almost exactly like this.

 

[TheRedSnifit]

.

 

[Opto]

Only if I had enough money to buy a small country. Otherwise, you don't deserve it.

 

[kittenbreath]

I encountered a man wearing a cape while walking alone one evening, and I was so overwhelmed that I actually paused in my stride, mouth agape.

He was a large man but crossed the street in a manner which I could only describe as nimble, or spry. And though he never directly acknowledged me as he passed, the slightest hint of a smile forming at the corners of his lips indicated that he was aware of the attention and that it pleased him.

Total neckbeard, yeah.

 

[Secks4Food]

Maybe if I had a sweet suit to go with it.

This dude looks pretty good in a cape, it can be done.

 

[Shandy]

I wear blanket cloaks around the house when it's cold. I'm not sure I'd ever wear an actual cape or cloak in public, though. Not really my style.

 

[LaserBuddha]

He looks good because he looks rich as fuck and is standing in front of a chateau. He looks like a fucking dracula is what he looks like. You'd laugh at this coming down the street.

#CAPESNO

Nope. I've seen someone with a cape. It was amazing.

 

[ZackieChan]

That looks fucking cool.

I have one almost exactly like this.

If I looked as cool as either of these people, of course. Like a boss.

 

[wenis]

It would need to be one of those Game of Thrones capes made out of Bear pelt and lions fur from its mane.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Cam'ron wasnt playing.

 

[Not]

If it was in fashion I would never not

 

[lastplayed]

Oh yeah, 15th century style cape please.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Passed a guy today - probably 25 or so - dressed in cream satin and silk head to toe. Pants, shirt, and jacket, a white cape, and white boots. He was rocking of all it, not gonna lie.

He also had a man-bun, and that made him a shithead.

 

[MattKeil]

Capes are never coming back, guys. It's time to accept it.

 

[AMUSIX]

Can someone post a picture of someone looking good in a cape?

 

[Lunar15]

This looks like the next fedora.

 

[B-Dubs]

Most likely not
Hero coats though? Yes.

I've always wanted one of these, just so cool.

 

[dejay]

No. If it's cold or windy I'll wear a cape with sleeves in it - they're called coats.

 

[royalan]

That's the point. lol

It's got the length and drape of a classic cape, ever so slightly modernized. If I were to ever wear a cape, that would be the style.

yes

i still wait for this to pop up on ebay. any day now.

Hmmm...that's hot.

 

[bearythebear]

Maybe if I was ridiculously good looking


...and taller

 

[Mineshaft_Gap]

No. I am a big proponent of ponchos, however.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Capes are never coming back, guys. It's time to accept it.

I bet you said undercuts were never coming back either.

 

[Conkersbadfurday]

No. Never.

But damn, some of the pictures in this thread of attractive people in capes make it work. But attractive people can wear anything and make it work so... :V

 

[CharminUltra]

Yesssss

 

[GorillaJu]

I used to wear one of these Juun J trench capes about 5 years ago.

Lasted about two winters before the trend completely died.
