capes
Coastal points; cloaks
Capes are sleeveless outer garments that fasten at the neck and hang over the shoulders, flowing freely rather than fitting the arms.
Shorter than cloaks, they range from practical rain gear to dramatic costume pieces.
Capes are iconic in superhero imagery: No capes!
Geographically, a cape is a point of land extending into water: Cape Cod, the Cape of Good Hope.
