A small cloak or short cape.
From the noun cloak plus the diminutive suffix -let (small). This term creates a miniature version, similar to how 'booklet' is a small book or 'piglet' is a young pig.
In Renaissance fashion, nobles would wear little cloaklets as accessories—they were more about style and status than actually keeping you warm!
