Matn #013: Black blazer abaya with a front pleat and shaped waist

The core text of a wardrobe, in plain black.

The matn is the core text of a book; everything around it is commentary. This abaya plays that part in a wardrobe: plain black in a clear blazer cut. Wide notched lapels, a closure at the waist, and below it an inverted pleat that runs to the floor and gives your stride room. A horizontal seam shapes the waist, with a flap pocket on each side. It goes from a morning meeting to dinner. Made to measure in Doha, so the waist sits where yours does.

• Wide notched lapels
• Inverted pleat from waist to hem
