HedgeKnight Watson Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I noticed in Season 2 that a lot of the male characters took to wearing these ridiculously huge shoulder cloaks. I don't really recall the fashion being prevalent in the first season, but come 2x01, everyone's rocking the look. Joffrey, Tywin (as seen in the link below), even Littlefinger wears one once he gets out of King's Landing to treat with the Tyrells.So does anyone have an idea as to the general aim of these things? I presume they're just southern fashions, but I did find it rather interesting that the look became prevalent when S2 took off.Tywin's fabulous shoulder-curtain: http://clothesmonaut.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/game-of-thrones-tyvin-lannister-red-shoulder-cloak.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inevittable Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Maybe it's just a seasonal thing. Didn't someone say something about chilly weather being on the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedgeKnight Watson Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 But a gigantic curtain draped over the shoulder? REALLY!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nezzer Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I think it looks awesome. Tywin looks pretty badass with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedgeKnight Watson Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Only Tywin really pulls it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victarious Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Never really noticed it. I noticed Joffrey was sporting his Lannister armor more than in S1 (if he ever even wore it in S1) and I guess Tywin and his cloak. But can't think of any other examples. I didn't even notice Littlefinger ever wearing anything different than his garments from S1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedgeKnight Watson Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Littlefinger wears the style when he heads to the Stormlands to broker with Renly. It's only one scene or two, but I was curious regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nezzer Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Littlefinger and Joffrey wear it too, but is not as long as Tywin's in that pic. Joffrey wears it again in the "No Mercy" trailer and there it goes only until his knees. Still, you have to remember one thing: medieval nobility fashion is supposed to look ridiculous :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I... that is indeed a good point. We all remember Margaery's ridiculous costumes in season two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
