Lightweight and luxurious, the kaftan is a summer wardrobe essential — whether worn in sixties bohemia form or modest and modern, the loose-fitting silhouette has an easy-to-throw-on feel without comprising on femininity.
Not just reserved for Ramadan, the style can see you through the long hot summer; from Oscar de la Renta’s colour-popping silk-twill kaftan to Dolce & Gabbana’s maximalist designs. When it comes to regional designers, opt for Leem’s plisse print iteration, Rami Al Ali’s glamorous candy-shaded capsule and I Am Mai’s minimalist shapes in high-shine metallic greys. Take your pick in the gallery above.
