3 Effortless Ways To Style Your Holiday Kaftan

 

Kaftans have long been surrounded by stereotypes. From the bohemian, 1960’s hippie to the eccentric older woman who swans around the house in her loose, flowing kaftan drinking champagne! Thing is Kaftans have moved on from this and are now seen as a chic wardrobe essential that’s versatile enough to be worn day and night.

Designed with a relaxed, flattering silhouette, a classic V-neck, and elegant full-length side slits, our one-size kaftans fit sizes small to large comfortably. Here’s how you can style this incredibly versatile piece across the seasons:

1. The Beach-to-Bar Cover-up

When a refreshing cocktail calls and you need a quick break from the afternoon sun, slip your kaftan over your swimsuit. Its lightweight cotton keeps you effortlessly cool while transitioning seamlessly from the pool to the beachside lounge.

2. The Laid-back Village Explorer

For lazy summer afternoons spent exploring whitewashed coastal villages, pair your sea green kaftan with simple leather sandals, a wide-brimmed summer hat, and a roomy cotton tote bag. It is the ultimate casual-chic look that keeps you comfortable all day long.

3. The Elegant Sunset Al Fresco Dinner

Dress up your kaftan for warm summer nights! Pair it with heeled espadrilles, a sleek clutch, and statement accessories such as a colorful beaded necklace. The side slits add a touch of movement and drama as you walk, making it perfect for watching the sunset over dinner.

While your kaftan is ideal for long relaxed summer holidays, it’s perfectly okay to wear it home. It’s loose flowing design offers unmatched comfort. Nothing clings which means you can stretch out and relax without feeling restricted. Ideal for cosy nights in after a long day at work.

Caring for Your Handcrafted Kaftan

To keep your hand-block printed kaftan looking vibrant for years to come, treat it with a little love.

  1. Gently hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent.

  2. Do not soak the fabric; rinse it gently and let it drip dry in the shade to keep the colours looking vibrant.

  3. Finish with a gentle steam iron to smooth out any natural cotton wrinkles.
