Parker & Bennett

Late afternoon by the water, the kind that turns into dinner without anyone deciding.
An ivory caftan carrying a narrow embroidered placket in rust and indigo down the front, banded again at the hem, and Parker & Bennett keeps the rest of it plain so the needlework holds the eye.
The Details
Falls straight from the shoulder with no waist to fuss over
A light, open weave that moves ahead of you in any breeze
Worked pattern at the neck, cuff and hem
Splits at the side for an easy stride
Over a swimsuit, then over trousers when the sun drops
For the woman who likes one considered detail and nothing competing with it.
Packs to nothing and comes out looking like it was pressed.
