    Come to College in portugal! Is part of the atire.

    I had a “traje academico” back in those days. Loved to wear it on winter, it was so warm and confy.

    Immediately people start hiding rifles and rock launchers under their cape. But it’s ok. I’ll curl up in my rock patterned cape to camouflage as a rock.

    I’m worried about the safety implications of bringing them back. What if they got caught in an escalator, elevator door, taxi door, normal door.

    Plus I think it would be rude if you are walking down the sidewalk and your cape/cloak keeps touching people who are walking by you.

      Flashbacks to that chapter of The Watchmen where Dollar Bill tried to stop a bank robbery at a bank with revolving doors…

        I am aware of them haha but I know that those who wear them also do not like to wear long ones because of the inconvenience they cause.

          It kind of irks me to be spoken for, so to say, so just for the record: me right here, I wear dresses, and I especially like to wear long ones. We do exist!

          Also, any inconvenience is a worthy trade-off for vastly minimised accidental flashing risks, for me personally. I like dresses, but I’m not always good at remembering I’m wearing one 😅

    Cloaks are really a cool idea and I miss them, not that I was ever alive for them being en vogue haha

    A great look despite the obvious hazard of them getting caught on things

    Is that even a cloak? Seems more like an attached cape.

    I want full cult/jedi ammonitiy.

    I have a cloak that I got from Topshop when I was a teenager. Was great for wearing at festivals. Still have it but doubt it fits these days

    I’ve been thinking about this recently with the heat in my region. Wouldn’t a light cloak, with very light clothing underneath, work well for sun protection (one or two layers over skin) while still keeping fairly cool (due to airflow)?
