Stunning In A Kaftan Dress, Style Swap Tuesdays

Spring is here which means more easy-breezy outfits and dresses. This year kaftans are nabbing the first place in easy-breezy dressing for me. I have been buying kaftans left and right like there is no tomorrow. This sartorial inclination towards kaftans could be an outcome of my fondness for non-clinging flowy Indian silhouette. Whatever, I’m loving it!

I bought these two kaftans, pictured below, a couple months ago and both have been on a high rotation. In simple terms a kaftan is a variant of the robe or tunic. It originating in Asia and has been worn by a number of cultures around the world for thousands of years.

How to wear a kaftan without drowning in it

• The versatility of a kaftan dress is undeniable. Dress it up with a pair of heels if it’s a midi length, and a pair of flat gladiator sandals for a more casual look.
• Play up your shape with a waist belt.  A sash belt or an OBI belt would be a good accentuating play with this fun dress. Both my kaftans came with a was it sash tie and it only flatters.
• A kaftan is definitely a summer staple,  but for the cooler temps, throw over a pashmina or a knit stole for that extra element of warmth. A jacket or a waist could be tricky with the kimono sleeves, if the dress has one. 
• With shorter-hemmed kaftan dresses, a pair of skinny jeans or even a girlfriend jeans would be a chic way to channel some cool vibe. Finish with a few layered necklaces and you are all set for the resort and beyond.
