A colleague of ours used to keep a spare blazer in her desk drawer. "Just in case," she'd say. Her abaya looked lovely at home. But after a walk across the car park, a Monday meeting and a lift ride in a building that felt like a fridge, it looked worn out. Creased elbows. Slouchy shoulders.
My cousin got married last December, outdoors, somewhere past Al Qudra. Lanterns, long tables, the lot. By nine o'clock half the guests were rubbing their arms. One friend had worn a thin, floaty abaya because the afternoon felt warm, and she spent dinner under a stranger's shawl.
