Unless you watch Clint Eastwood westerns.
Wow! I didn’t know they were still made. Adding to my shopping list…
What does Clint Eastwood have to do with ruanas?
Multiples. I lived in them throughout senior year in high school and college. I’ve never been a pattern person, never liked jeans. Basic cotton blend, mix and match, large variety of choices? Yes, please.
The major department store here at the time, Dayton’s, carried a decent selection. Then I spent a week in Chicago and discovered an actual Multiples store, along with a large selection at Macy’s. My parents had given me one of their credit cards “In Case of Emergency” for the trip. There was much explaining when I came home.
Try thin silk shirts–easily located in Goodwill for whatever reason. Ridiculously warm for the weight and if you put a light merino cardigan over a light silk shirt it’s a perfect combination of warm and comfortable.
What I mostly want is a lot more and brighter colors and a lot less polyester. And definitely cloaks, cloaks are like wearable sleeping bags. 
Snoods are the perfect answer to long hair bed head–drag a brush through the mop, throw the snood over and boom, looking civilized.
Those were in the 60s. In the 60s, I went through Europe with a handy black trenchcoat in my pack. I got to Portugal and saw all the guys wearing black trenchcoats cape-like over their shoulders. I was Mr. Cool, going out even if I didn’t need. I’d like to see that back again.

When I have to wear long pants, it’s almost exclusively cargo scrubs like these. Lightweight and extremely comfortable.
Now called Chelsea boots and are very popular.
At the risk of sounding sexist, I really like 50s style clothing on women. I wouldn’t mind seeing that coming back. Of course, I would friggin HATE having to wear a suit to go to work so if that was a requirement for the 50s women’s clothing to come back, then nevermind! (anecdotally, there do seem to be a fair amount of women that like a guy in a suit).
It is not. I speak from experience.
Current Chelseas tend not to have the Cuban heels and pointed toes that makes a boot Beatle.
Below the knee dresses or skirts and blouses? Capris?
Gaucho pants (anyone remember those?)
j/k
All my skirts and dresses are below the knee or ankle length on me because, being overweight and not in my first flush of youth, they look better. And I love capris and crops, but hate long shorts that end just above the knee. I wear skirts a lot in summer now because they are acceptable at work and cooler than pants. Thank goodness pantyhose is no longer considered a requirement in summer.
Yeah, my wife hates those.
Really? So does it have any splits? What stops the cloak from getting tight along the back and pulling your neck?
Oh yeah, I forgot that. Indeed the changes to men’s hairstyles means there’s not really any going back.
Men’s haircuts are almost all some variation of “short sides, very long sticking-up top” (with the degree of volume up top denoting how much of a fashion style it is 
) and hats will usually mess that up.
Remember Culottes? A long full skirt below the knees, but with legs and a crotch so ladies didn’t have to ride horses side-saddle. Now, the only culottes are worn as part of NBA uniforms.
No, it doesn’t have any splits. I just don’t sit on the cloak. It ruches up and falls to either side.
And a well-made cloak sits on your shoulders in any case, never in a position to pull on your neck.
The way Jason Kingsly wears his cloak on horseback is sort of the thing I mean:
