If the cloak is too long, then it will drag along the ground and get dirty after you wrap it. If you prefer a shorter look, then it’s okay to get a cloak that just passes your waist.
You can buy a cloak that already has designs, or you can embroider them yourself.
If you’re left-handed, pull the right corner toward your left shoulder so your dominant hand stays free. Avoid securing your cloak in the center of your chest since it will limit your mobility and cause the fabric to get in your way.
You can buy ringed pins or brooches online. If you can’t find one, you can always use a safety pin to hold your cloak closed. Avoid pointing the pin towards your neck or chest so you don’t accidentally injure yourself.
Keep in mind you’ll feel a lot colder when you do this since your body is uncovered.
If your hood or cloak feels too tight, then undo the pin and reposition it so the fabric is looser.
You’ll stay even warmer if you make a hood with your cloak as well.
