Kaftans

Breezy kaftans whether they be chiffon, silk or cotton, are the perfect garment for warm spring and summer months.   

The kaftan or caftan, has roots in Middle Eastern, South East Asian and African culture. Often decorated with elaborate embroidery, sequins and, (in S.E. Asia,) batik. Modern day kaftans are available in a wide variety of fabrications, colors and patterns. Tie-dye, leopard, tribal and abstract geometric are very fashion forward. The kaftan is historically an ankle length garment but these days you can find them in maxi dress to mini skirt lengths.

Kaftan's are a versatile garment that can easily go from the beach or pool to a patio luncheon. I love them because they are so easy and comfortable to wear. Below is one of my favorite pieces from the Halston Spring 2011 collection. Check out my recommendations on how to get this look
