Fayrouz Linen Lycra Jacket

Fayrouz is Arabic for turquoise, the stone set into old silver. This is a deep petrol teal, dark and muted rather than bright. Why this one earns its place Lightweight linen with stretch, so it drapes cleanly and holds its line Tie-up waist belt to soften or define the shape, depending on the day Full length and open at the front, so it layers over what you already own Relaxed through the body, skimming rather than clinging Wide, easy sleeves with room to move A range of lengths, with free shortening if you sit between two Matching Fayrouz abaya sold separately, to wear as a set or apart The fabric Lightweight linen with lycra running through it. The stretch is what stops the creasing that usually puts people off linen, and on an open jacket that matters more than anywhere else, because the front panels hang in full view all day. A deep colour like this also asks more of a fabric. The matte linen finish keeps the teal looking rich rather than shiny, which is what separates it from a synthetic. Fit and modesty Cut full length and open at the front, relaxed through the body and shoulder so nothing pulls. Wide sleeves with room at the arm. The tie belt adjusts the shape. Left loose, the jacket falls in a straight line. Drawn in, it marks the waist without tightening the fit across the chest or hip. When to wear it Work, errands, travelling, meeting friends and family gatherings. Light enough to keep on indoors, and it layers under a coat once the weather turns. With the belt tied and silver jewellery it holds up at a dinner or an evening invitation. Wear it as a set, or on its own The matching Fayrouz Linen Lycra Abaya is a separate product. Worn together the two read as one considered co-ord, and apart each works with the rest of your wardrobe. The linen lycra collection comes in six colourways, so you can match a jacket and abaya in one tone or put two together.
