Kaftan dresses are one of the most versatile pieces any woman can have in their wardrobe. These fun, lightweight dresses can be styled in a myriad of different ways meaning that if you have a kaftan then you’ll have an outfit for every occasion.
Available in a number of designs, colours, different lengths and versatile fabrics, a kaftan can serve as multi-utility garment and hence, is a must-have for you. But, to look like a fashionista in this funky outfit, you need to learn a few basics of styling it right.
Kaftan with a low v-neck and long sleeves will give an elegant, flattering line to women.
Kaftans come in both short as well long versions. If you want to get dressed in it for a day in office, then we suggest you to go for a medium-length printed kaftan, and team it up with a pair of leggings to complete your look. For any casual outing, you can wear a short kaftan with a pair of slim-fit jeans or shorts. And, if you want to wear kaftan for any wedding function of your friend or family member, then go for a long one.
Moreover, combining the kaftan with sandals and sunglasses will give an ultra boho-chic look. This is a casual combination that you can wear to summer parties.
If you are wearing a kaftan that is heavily printed, then you should wear nude heels to complete the look. You can also opt for plain wedges to go with this attire.
If you are wearing a kaftan for a party, then pair it with silver or golden high heels to amp up the glitz and glamour of your look. On the other hand, if you are wearing a kaftan for a day out on the beach, then you can pair it with nice flat sandals to stay comfortable.
The key to wearing your kaftan with jeans is to choose jeans with a slim fit: skinny jeans, cigarette pants, or cropped pedal pusher jeans are all great options. When it comes to choosing the colour of your jeans, the world really is your oyster!
You can make your waist look tiny by cinching your kaftan in with a wide leather belt.
A silk or cotton kaftan top looks wonderful over shorts. Top it up with beads and achieve the perfect casual summer look.
If the kaftan already has shiny embellishments, better avoid overdoing it with jewellery that make a loud statement, such as heavy, long neck pieces or earrings. Instead, a chic watch, ring, belt or small pearl earrings that look great regardless of the occasion you wear them for, are safe and stylish choices. On the other hand, if your kaftan is rather plain with no fancy prints, you can upgrade your look with a sleek necklace and/or a subtle bracelet.
