How to style a kaftan in everyday life
A kaftan doesn't have to wait in the wardrobe for a celebration — tips for wearing it more often.
Most women wear their kaftan two or three times a year: a wedding, a henna night, Ramadan. But a well-made kaftan can do far more.
A simple kaftan in a single colour — without heavy embroidery — works for a dinner, a birthday or a summer evening. Pair it with flat sandals and understated jewellery, and the piece shifts from ceremonial to elegant-casual.
Choose deliberately: a light fabric like chiffon or linen works by day, brocade and velvet are for the evening. And invest in a kaftan in a neutral colour — champagne, powder rose, soft grey — that you can wear to multiple occasions.
The secret is in the accessories. The same kaftan looks festive with a wide belt and heels, and relaxed with a sash and slippers. One piece, ten possibilities.
