Choosing the Right Cloak Length for Ren Faire

Cloak length changes everything: how you move, how you look, and how comfortable you'll be after a long day on the faire grounds.

Hip and waist-length capes are light, easy to wear and ideal for warm days or active roles. Knee-length cloaks are the all-rounder, offering warmth and drama without dragging through mud and straw.

Full, floor-length cloaks are pure romance and perfect for evening events, photos and cooler weather.

• Measure from the base of your neck to where you want the hem to fall.

• Wearing boots or heels? Allow an extra inch or two.

• For outdoor faires, consider ending just above the ankle to stay clear of the ground.
