Black velvet cape

The black velour cape is a long, flowing cape made of velvet-soft velour with an attached hood. The cape with hood comes in one size for women and men. In one fell swoop, you’ll create a dark appearance for Halloween, a spooky party or a costume party.

Features of the black velour cape

• The cape is made of 100% polyester with a velour finish that softly catches the light.
• The colour is solid black, and the matte reverse side of the fabric is visible on the inside.
• The fabric is gathered at the neck, allowing the cape to flare out widely across the back.
• The hood is permanently attached to the cape and can be worn up or down.
• The cape comes in one size and fits both women and men.
• Hand wash only; do not bleach, iron, dry clean or tumble dry.

Why does almost every sinister figure wear a cape?

For centuries, a cape was a common piece of outerwear, but it was given a new lease of life in stories about wizards, gravediggers and nocturnal figures. Because the fabric moves with every step, the wearer appears larger and more dramatic than they really are, making the cape the quickest costume there is. The hood enhances this effect: with the hood up, your face is half hidden in shadow. That is why this style is perfect for a wizard, a sinister knight or a nameless figure in the dark, each time paired with a different accessory.

Pair the black velour cape with other items to create a complete outfit

Wear the cape over a black shirt and smart black trousers, as shown in the photo, and you will easily create a convincing sinister appearance. If you choose a wizard, a staff or walking stick and a long beard will work well. For a spookier look, pair the cape with pale face paint, dark eyeshadow and black shoes. The cape remains visible as a silhouette under a suit, so keep the rest of your outfit understated in colour.
