There's something inherently costume-y about capes. Often associated with fairytale princesses, superheroes or villains, it's no surprise they've often been considered, well, naff.
They enjoyed a brief revival in the Autumn/Winter 2017 collections, courtesy of designers like Mulberry and Temperley, before quietly fading away again. Until now, and believe me, the Autumn/Winter 2024 iteration of the trend is the complete opposite to naff. In fact, capes have never been so cool.
