DON YOUR CAPES* AND MEET ME IN THE STREETS! - At first, it may not seem plausible for this to catch on, but when you think about the styles already in- play or that have passed [hoodies, long scarves, pins & broaches/talismans, the thick or double- wrapping "superbelts", skinny jeans, stretch denim, knee- high boots, Ugs, fanny packs, boxing shoes, ski masks, & goggles, nerd/geek glasses with no lenses, chokers, headbands, underarmor & thermals, scrubs, etc.], it then becomes a bit easier to imagine a hood here or a cloak there, a family/crew chevron and heraldry that doesn't replace or eclipse natural urban wardrobe but seamlessly incorporates itself into it, giving a more unique perspective into the nature of its wearer [also because their garments wouldn't be found in commercial POSes, but by private artisans so their choice of "costuming" would indeed be unique].
This feature is from a comic convention where there was more lectures given but I was rather captivated by this expository look at what they call "THE BOYS IN THE HOODS" and the "URBAN DANDY" ["Dandy", a term coined by Beau Brummel, the infamously well- dressed inventor of the "black pant suit", to which being a 'dandy' was a pretty bad- @$$ed thing to be, at the time].
Enjoy the feature, then check out our STYLE section in THREADLINKS!
*CAPES also is short for "capabilities".
