Five Ways to Wear a Kaftan in Style

With these classic ways of styling a kaftan, you make sure that the cloth pieces are not tucked away only for special occasions 

Available in different shapes, lengths, cuts, fabrics and colours, Kaftan is a must-have in your wardrobe and especially since they are compatible for different body sizes, occasions and moods. Pick your best look from the list below.

Pair with Shorts: The right size of Kaftan when paired with shorts creates a chic and sophisticated aura around you. This comfortable yet mesmerising look can be achieved with denim or ripped shorts. Add some boho-chic accessories to complete the outfit.

Jazzed with a Leather Belt: Belt is an indispensable accessory to keep if you have a kaftan in the closet. The pair is bound to give you a breezy, fashionable look. This outfit—neither too skimpy nor too stern, would also be perfect for office party or a formal gathering. Needless to say, sandals look best if you are heading to the beach!

Carry with a Palazzo: The ultimate desi style of flaunting a kaftan, the palazzo is a classic masterstroke to hone the festive, elegant look without compromising on comfort level. Thankfully, you do not need to splurge on this pair. You have the option to keep the jewellery minimal—perhaps a pair of studs or a statement neckpiece, to go along with it.

Kaftan and Jacket: A waist-length jacket has a versatile use in fashion and adds the extra zing to a regular Kaftan. Carry a clutch for the finesse.

Team with Skirt: An experimental and beautiful combo—Kaftan and a tight-fitted skirt, it makes you shine like a diva in a room full of people. However, you may opt for waist-length Kaftan and a flared, full-length skirt as well. If the pair is trimmed in white lace, the outfit effortlessly rekindles the boho spirit in your style. Choose the right pair of accessories—pearls preferably, to pull the look.

Kaftan and Jeans: Slim-fit jeans should be the apt choice if you are deliberating about trying the basics with your Kaftan. A short Kaftan looks equally good with denim if not shorts. This spares you the hassle of shopping extra for wearing the Kaftan.

Kaftan on a Swimwear: For an essential beach look, pick a voluminous and flared Kaftan and wear it over swimwear or short corset dresses to flaunt the curves. Whatever you are wearing underneath should be in monochrome to bring about the flamboyance of the Kaftan.
