Opera cloak
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2023) |
An opera cloak is an ankle- or floor-length loose-fitting
coat. For white tie, men's opera cloaks are frequently worn with a walking stick and top hat
.
Like cloaks and capes, the opera coat is usually lined in a coloured expensive fabric, such as silk, or a weave like satin, for a more opulent look. An opera coat often has an elegant or dramatic collar, and may have padded sleeves. It may or may not be trimmed in fur. It often has an elaborate braided rope instead of buttons at the neck.[2]
