01.01.70

One of the season’s hottest trends — and by hot, I mean made for winter in a place that actually has such a season — this version is a heavy woolen garment more suited for tramping the British countryside than walking the sub-tropical streets of New Orleans.

But it was on sale, and it was in my size.

I hustled through the checkout, relishing the warm glow that comes from a sale-rack success.

Then, walking to my car, it hit me: Did I really just pay good money for a cape?

Certainly, as trends go, the cape brings a few misgivings. It’s the garment most closely associated with superheroes. Indeed, the allure might hark back to some distant childhood memory of tying a bed sheet around one’s neck, jumping off furniture and navigating Wonder Woman’s invisible jet around the living room.

As for its powers, the cape — and its shorter, sportier cousin, the capelet — makes a strong style statement. It’s guaranteed to get you noticed, and may even elicit a few jokes about fighting fashion crimes.

Feather boas may have been worn as early as the 17th century. They have fallen in and out of fashion many times over the years, and have had the reputation of being elegant as well as being considered campy or vulgar apparel. Some historic eras where feather boas were in style or trendy include: the late Victorian era and Edwardian era (between 1890 and 1915), the 1920′s, the 1970′s during the glam rock and Disco music eras, the late 1990′s and early 21st century.
