Would you ever fashionably wear a cape?

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Surprised nobody posted that Kanye picture yet.
Edit: Well then

I have one almost exactly like this.
This is the kind of cape I would rock if I had one.
It's cute.

kanye's fashion is just a more expensive version of what every other hipster out there is wearing
Ain't that sad? lol
They're already in vogue for women around here, like the one posted a bit ago.
They're slowly coming back for men these days too, I've been seeing a lot of guys wearing coats like capes. It's inevitable at this point. The ones posted in the OP look ridiculous but the one mac posted is hot as hell. Would wear

No, because I associate it with this weird guy I once went to high school with who wore huge extravagant, collared Dracula-capes and fedoras, and uggs outside of his straight legs all at the same time. I shit you not. Power to him, I guess. Fashion-sense aside, he seemed like a decent guy. Although, he was kind of rude to me a few times and was terribly obnoxious in class, but whatever. Point is, I'll never wear capes because of that guy unless I'm someplace really really cold and I'm wearing a long coat if that counts.

For some (hippie) reason, when I was a little kid, one season my winter coat was a cape. I will say that functionally, capes are great. My memory is that it was made of navy wool, very warm, trapped body heat well, it was easy to regulate your temperature so you didn't have to take off your coat indoors, you could keep your arms inside so you didn't need gloves. However, like the kilt, I'm going to regulate it as clothing I can't pull off.
And it's obvious to me now it must have been a girl's coat all along. wtf, mom!

Fedoras + capes = societal rejection

I think this qualifies as a blanket statement.

Yeah, sure. Capes really aren't that unusual in women's fashion.

You can't make it far in this world wearing a cape and fedora.
Those two things just aren't meant to be put together.
A cape and a cowl, however.....

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I'm not in a prog rock band from the '70s, so never.
Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull is the only person on earth to pull it off.

Oh, you meant together. Either thought you meant either/or. I don't think I've ever seen them together.

Yeah. It matches well with my heart headband, crotchless pants, and pointed shoes.

I would totally rock a cape, on some superrich shit though. Just because I can.
That's about it. Unless you're able to leap tall buildings in a single bound or are the world's greatest detective, you can't look cool in a cape. You just look desperate for attention.

Capes are right up there with fedoras and trench coats to me. I feel like almost anyone past a certain age can look cool rocking a fedora or a cape, but younger people just look silly. That's just my personal taste, though. Wear whatever you want, who cares what others think.
Larry Davids pose in that always cracks me up.

I would, but I fear I would get beat up.

if you're gonna get beat up for something you're wearing you're probably gonna get beat up anyway.

Wearing a cape is like driving an expensive sports car.
No one around you has one. You think you look good with it, but in truth you stand out and look fucking ridiculous.

No. Would probably be annoying pretty quickly.
What I like is that everyone in the 1900s-1940s wore a complete outfit with hats, that was cool fashionable time.

From a purely practical perspective, I do wish capes, or more to the point: hooded cloaks, were commonplace. To have a single long layer acting as a rain/wind shield that you can quickly take off and hang up to dry makes so much fucking sense. It seems to me that it's one of those basic clothing needs that isn't being offered.
Capes don't seem to serve a purpose at all, but cloaks deserve a place in the world.
Being able to turn quickly and have it swing out like in films would just be a bonus.
