Brown & Coffee Abayas

The warm neutrals are what people reach for when black feels too stark. Coffee, mocha, espresso and camel read as softer in daylight and photograph far better than black does, which is why they have quietly become the second wardrobe abaya. Taupe and cocoa sit close enough to grey to work with almost anything; the deeper espressos hold their own in the evening. Thread and DMC work on these tends to be tonal rather than contrasting, so the finish stays understated.
