Since discovering the joys of cloaks, I've wanted to wear one all the time now but struggling for clothes that don't look jarring with a cloak.

To be clear, I'm aiming for a "larp/fantasy" look, just some somewhat modern and comfortable clothes that would look good with a cloak.

Thanks in advance!

Post a pic of the cloak in question! ๐Ÿ‘€

Haven't got any pics just yet! will get some next time I can get my mate to get a pic! In the meantime, it's an olive green woolen ruana style cloak. It's about knee length plus a little and has a loose fitting hood. It's amazingly warm. It's basically a wearable blanket!

Very similar to this kind of cloak except with a hood!

In all seriousness, cruella DeVille had some good looks to go with a baggy coat cloak look thing. Gloves different color from cloak.

Seconded. Iโ€™m very curious.

But as a shot in the dark, try some earth tones and natural fabrics like loose fitting/naturally dyed linens?

Highly recommended! I made mine myself and it was very easy but you can probably buy one if you like!

I hadn't considered making one, but I'll keep it in mind. I certainly don't have the mental bandwidth at the moment, but I imagine it's much cheaper than buying one.

Those oversized T shirts that look kinda robe-y would work I think

Probably just sweat pants.

Let's face it. If you're wearing a cloak, you either need the hood up orrr you need a helm/hat.

Henleys, capri chinos, boat shoes or alpargatas, gold watch
