I understand that modern outer layers are more functional. A leather jacket, for example, can be dressed up or down so as to be worn in a variety of situations. It is also better at keeping you warm.
However, I think capes/cloaks are more aesthetically pleasing garments. It also feels good to have the fabric flowing around you as you walk. But what do you think?
Capes are still part of women’s fashion. Though they are usually shorter and don’t go below the knee.

I think the modern equivalent for a cloak is a long trenchcoat/raincoat. if you wear it open it sort of looks like a cloak. Also you could wear a poncho which can sorta look like a cape but isn’t too out of the ordinary for men to wear. https://weatherwool.com/cdn/shop/products/ponchoBlack_MG_0177-webcopy_720x.jpg?v=1620656484
