Which black cape is right for whom?

For women, there are models with an attached hood and versions in tulle or with a spiderweb pattern across the entire surface, such as the deluxe spiderweb cape with a hood.
For men, there are classic Dracula models with a stand-up collar, a Venetian version, and a monk's robe that extends down to the ankles.
Women and men wear the same loose-fitting models, because such a cape hangs loosely over your clothes, and that is also where the double-sided capes in black and red belong.
For children, there are shorter lengths starting from about hip height, including a reversible superhero cape with a hood and a red cape as the second side in the Zorro model.
If you want more than the loose garment, there are sets in which the cape comes with a witch's hat, an eye mask, or a complete vampire costume.

Do you choose a short cape or a long one with a hood?

Choose based on length, because that determines the effect: a short black cape to the hip or knee lets you move freely and works well for children and at a busy party, while a long black cloak to the calf or ankle drags along and gives the classic Dracula silhouette. A model with a hood leaves your face half in the shadows and is the logical choice for a spooky look, while a cape with a high stand-up collar frames your face and your face paint. For children's sizes, you choose based on body length and not age, and you measure from the shoulder, because the hood does not count towards the stated length. The image of the black cape comes from the vampire: the cloak with a red lining belongs to the theatrical and cinematic image of Dracula, while the same black cape with an eye mask immediately reads as Zorro and with a hood as a monk or the Grim Reaper. If you are torn between a double-sided model and a solid black one, the double-sided gives you two looks in one garment and solid black matches almost any dark outfit.

From a loose garment to a complete outfit

The range goes from a single loose garment to a complete costume, and that difference determines how much you still have to arrange yourself. With most capes, you receive only the cape, so face paint, teeth, or a wig come from your own chest. Combine a solid model with a Halloween cape accessory such as a mask, or go for a set in which the hat or eye mask is already included. For a white cape as a counterpart in a group, look at that color.

A black cape for Halloween, Carnival, or a masked ball

You wear a black cape anywhere you want to quickly create something darker. At Halloween, that is the vampire or the witch, at Carnival the rider or Zorro, and at a masked ball the Venetian figure. Because black matches every dark outfit, women, men, and children use the same garment again and again year after year.
