Why choose Şile bezi for a summer cape?Şile bezi is a traditional, lightweight cotton gauze from the Turkish coastal town of Şile. Its natural crinkled texture lets air through easily, so the cape stays comfortable in the heat. It needs little ironing, as the crinkle is part of its charm. How do you style a cotton gauze cape?Worn open, the cape layers easily over a plain dress or a tunic and trousers; buttoned up, it works as a standalone outer layer. Light shades such as white and beige feel fresh in summer, finished with a thin cotton hijab. What is the difference between a cape and an abaya?
