freaky fashion - the capes

so yesterday, i shared with you about my experiences at a halloween event. so after we talked about where to go, let's talk about what to wear. in fact, for the whole of today, i'm going to focus on what you can wear to a halloween event if you plan to go in costume. 

for those of you who are regular readers of the online edition, you know there are three posts a day so do come back later in the day (and night) to check out the other two types of outfits that you can don during halloween.

by far, the capes / robes are the easiest of any halloween outfits. before i flood this post with images, a little more on capes. a cape is any sleeveless outer garment, such as a poncho, but usually it is a long garment that covers only the back half of the wearer, fastening around the neck.

in addition, capes (robes) gives a sense of mystery, that there is something lurking underneath. of course, if you wear a black cape and you open it up, the association with bats (or batman) is almost immediate and we have all heard of stories of how bats drink blood or how bats are actually vampires, hence enhancing the whole 'halloween' effect. 

from a fully fashion point of view, it is probably the easiest of all costumes. you can put it on within seconds, if you have a body to die for, then your halloween costume (which requires minimal time to put) can be this...

but since most of us would prefer to exercise a little 'humility', here's a look at possible halloween outfits.

Harry Potter and friends
Snooki

fash'on... BAM!
