I would wear the fuck outta capes.

Auctopus · May 30, 2015

Women's fashion has the cape down, I'll wear a cape as soon as male designers stop making them look like Sherlock Holmes. I guess I want a hooded poncho really.

nilbog21 · May 30, 2015

I mean, it seems pretty useful if you live in a very cold or windy city IMO

if you look like one of the people in the OP, however, you are a fool =[

Vermillion · May 30, 2015

It needs to be windy and I need super powers.

Marvel · May 30, 2015

Being a monster aside, can't deny Hitler is rocking that cape there.

That's literally why, lol. Supervillains, dictators, and all around bad people can totally rock a cape.

DoktorEvil · May 30, 2015

Please make it fashionable.

I'd rock one every day if I was cool like Alucard.

Mr-Joker · May 30, 2015

I lean towards wearing a red scarf.

Okay that looks cool, where do I get one?

NervousXtian · May 30, 2015

No, a cape can not be fashionable. They look ridiculous in every real photo in this thread and always will.

thebeeks · May 30, 2015

Capes? Ehhh.
Robes? Fuck yea. I want to walk around looking like a jedi all the time.

DOWN · May 30, 2015

No capes. Hardly different from Fedoras. It is too inappropriate and effort heavy. Studied nonchalance in your fashion is where it's at. That's the key to James Bond, Don Draper, Steve McQueen and so on.

Kijdhefgi · May 30, 2015

Match with the boots for maximum effect

Ahasverus · May 30, 2015

Kinda, if cold weather and design, go ahead. Capes are super cool.

studied nonchalance sounds pretty much like what someone would say to justify the wearing of a cape.

Haly · May 30, 2015

I wish I was a university student in Portugal.

JABEE · May 30, 2015

No. I'm not soul brother number one.

mariachi507 · May 30, 2015

Opinions and all that, but every person in these pictures wearing a cape look lame as fuck. That goes for both genders.

Pilgrimzero · May 30, 2015

I'd wear a cloak in winter if I had one

old manatee · May 30, 2015

I would dress like this if I thought I could get away with it

Meteorain · May 30, 2015

Fuck capes.

When are Cloaks coming back? What if I want hands free!

Although to an extent, capes are a form of cloak I suppose...

Haly · May 30, 2015

Let's go back to the 1700s while we're at it.

Reminds me of Bison.

In the Street Fighter series, Bison states that he had many incarnations before his modern Bison self. They basically imply that he was different dictators through history including Hitler.

Also capes would be the new fedoras if they ever "caught on".

Can't say I'd want extra cloth hanging from me.

I have a traditional alpine cape called Lodenkotze

I wear it for hunting wouldn't wear it out in the city though

Haly · May 30, 2015

1) He's missing legs
2) Is that a pipe in your Lodenkotze or are you just happy to see me?

MC Safety · May 30, 2015

When I worked for a game magazine, a company sent us capes as a tchotchke for City of Heroes.

I showed up to a game demo of Playboy: The Mansion wearing this ridiculous cape. And it turns out the publisher brought along a Playboy model to help promote the game. Let me tell you: She was suitably impressed by my fashion statement.

Carl · May 30, 2015

I had no idea this was a thing and all i can do is laugh

The Lone Courier · May 30, 2015

I'd gladly wear the fuck outta that. Gives me some cool Spaghetti Western vibes.

This is seriously classy D:

And to those connecting our sweet ass uniforms with the Harry Potter universe, it's no coincidence. Rowling was inspired by them.

They're awful in the summer, though....

Baron Von Beans · May 30, 2015

Man I must be one of the only ones that thinks the second image in OP doesn't look half bad...the colors all go well with each person. Granted, I prefer the middle and the guy on the right's look, but still. Given the right scenario, I totally would I think.

Yes OP, capes are awesome but you wear them as an accessory to a smart formal outfit
Don't make a fool of yourself by pulling one over some pedestrian shirt and jeans... eugh!

And this. It makes sense, but it needs to be said!

matrix-cat · May 30, 2015

Am I going nuts or is this thread full of cloaks? Buttons and collars and straps and shit means cloak.

Unit 33 · May 30, 2015

Capes are far too swishy for my liking.

This guy gets it.

I have a really nice tailored suit. I would love to have a really nice cape. But I'd only wear it to the orchestra, or a very ritzy gallery. Something extremely formal.

Proving once again that beautiful women can get away with wearing anything.

JK Rowling lived in Portugal for a bit. The idea for the Hogwarts uniform comes from there (tradition from Coimbra uni iirc). Also she was inspired by the Lello library in Porto. Salazar Slytherin was also named after the Portuguese dictator António de Oliveira Salazar.

lifa-cobex · May 30, 2015

I would if I was still twelve and playing Batman with my mates.
