Love this cape! It reminds me of a Mondrian painting from the Yves St. Laurent/Pierre Bergé collection (http://tinyurl.com/ygpfj6b)- sold last year at Christie's. But not to be confused with the famous Mondrian dress by YSL.
Ah. oh..cool, I like the fabric of the cape, it looks kindof short for him, but he can pull it off, the cape should just a little longer, but cool looking. Thanks for posting! Always interesting to see what you post!
As always...beautiful shot, but in this stream of examples on how to pull off the cape look, this shot is the example of what not to do. This looks absurd, as if he was dressing on a cruel dare or randomly pulled garments from, and dressed in, an unlit room.
not sure. looks like a checked toadstool. And like there's not mushroom inside it.

this is SO unflattering--he no longer has any shoulders. & the leng5h looks like he wore a kids size. Contrast with the fabulous gray one on the girl you photoed--a cape needs some shape, otherwise looks like you cut a neckhole in a tablecloth.
Chic bordering on grunge, but probably Burberry... Love it

He looks very serious about his cape. I think if I saw him I would laugh.
Menswear must at least nod towards practicality. I guess I would buy capes as menswear as replacements for, say, raincoats, in which case they'd be longer. This one is probably worn for warmth but has got to be drafty, being so short. And if it ever got wet it looks like it would smell like a wet sheep.

I love capes. This is a good example of how not to wear one. It's too small for him. The two women have it right, he gets it wrong.

I like this young man, and recognize him from a previous photograph you took of him during your orange and brown week, as I call it, last month. He is a dream and looks fantastic wearing his cape. For some reason, this man can really pull off a look that for most, would really turn your eye in the other direction. I like his style which to me is raw but somehow polished.
I have seen this man on here before and each time I took note of palette issues which causes him to look awash in yellow. From the undertones in his skin to his bleached yellow hair and the pale beige in his cape. It doesn't do much to make him look healthy or well put together but then again that may not be the look he is going for.

post a commentthe guy looks cute with the cape on.
I'm crazy about that color palette on him! And I love how it's an updated sort of plaid.
Love the cape!
nice! i love how the fabric meets at the center of the zipper. well made!
Loving capes! So warm.

Yes. That is the way to wear a cape!
I think Rumi of fashiontoast has this cape (or a very similar one at least...) haha, interesting to see a guy rock it!
i wouldn't really call that a cap right? more like a poncho?
NO, not the poncho!
This cape rocks! xo

love the cape!

A dude in a cape? Best results were had by Batman and Sherlock Holmes...or James Brown and Elvis.
I prefer the double-breasted cape from the lady below. But yes! Capes for men!
Just wanted to say that I check in everyday for inspiration. I have put a link to you on my own blog.
sadly, just not a fan of this. he's not trying enough! while normally, i prefer those that don't try at all!
Seriously lovin' this guys style!
lovley cape!!
This is quite a feminine cape but that outfit works anyway...
he's beautiful.
As always...beautiful shot, but in this stream of examples on how to pull off the cape look, this shot is the example of what not to do. This looks absurd, as if he was dressing on a cruel dare or randomly pulled garments from, and dressed in, an unlit room.
not sure. looks like a checked toadstool. And like there's not mushroom inside it.
I was waiting for men's cape pix but I'm not too sure about it right now... Who knows, maybe I should just jump onto the bandwagon before it gets hip ;)
I'm not sure about this either. Perhaps I would have preferred the sweater he's sporting underneath?
Honestly, no. The proportions are wrong. It looks like he stole the cape from a schoolgirl.
A "Caped Crusader" with Balls of steel! Well done Scott!
Like the cape - it has all my favorite colors. Not sure I'm diggin it on him.
The color pallete is beautiful on him and he can totally pull that cape off. Also love his litlle hat.

this is SO unflattering--he no longer has any shoulders. & the leng5h looks like he wore a kids size. Contrast with the fabulous gray one on the girl you photoed--a cape needs some shape, otherwise looks like you cut a neckhole in a tablecloth.
Chic bordering on grunge, but probably Burberry... Love it

Menswear must at least nod towards practicality. I guess I would buy capes as menswear as replacements for, say, raincoats, in which case they'd be longer. This one is probably worn for warmth but has got to be drafty, being so short. And if it ever got wet it looks like it would smell like a wet sheep.
I love capes. This is a good example of how not to wear one. It's too small for him. The two women have it right, he gets it wrong.
no no noooo!
not sure about capes on men...unless it's more like an opera cape...on dracula.
I like this young man, and recognize him from a previous photograph you took of him during your orange and brown week, as I call it, last month. He is a dream and looks fantastic wearing his cape.

Thank you for focusing on capes-- definitely a garment that has been under-utilized for a long time!
like the colors..but it does look wrong on him. too short. the plaid makes it look too busy along with the wideness and the ruffles..
Any suggestions of places where one can buy a men's cape that isn't for medieval warriors?!
not feeling it...AT ALL but, good on him though for taking the risk
yes! i love capes. so glad people are wearing them in an absolutely chic way.
