When did people stop wearing capes casually?

Did anyone actually wear them or is that just a lie? Why don鈥檛 people just wear them now? Maybe we should bring it back. This has been stuck in my head for half an hour now.

People wore capes because they were exposed to the elements. They didn't drive in a covered, climate-controlled car from one building to another. They wanted something to wrap around them when it got cold. If they got stuck in the rain, they wanted something to keep their clothes dry that could later be taken off quickly to dry.

Also, there's tremendous peer-pressure that all the cool super-heroes wear capes. 馃槅
