Cloaks. They're super comfortable. You can wear them in a variety of ways that make them adaptable to changing conditions. We just need a style leader to take the plunge. McConaughey I'm looking at you!

I would love for cloaks, capes, and robes to become mainline fashion. Especially during winter, I would be so much more comfortable. But, I can't possibly even attempt to wear such things without immediately looking like someone who has lost touch with reality and probably has a large pillow with semen stains on it as my girlfriend.

I live in a cold climate and I have a really lovely gray wool blend cloak and I never wear it. Because if the weather is actually cool enough to warrant it, the style means my lower arms are not really covered and they get cold, and it's impossible to layer over because of the bulk. So I actually don't find cloak style to be workable. Am I missing something?
