What is a kaftan dress, and how is it different from other dress styles?

A variant of luxury robes worn in ancient Mesopotamia, the kaftan dress takes inspiration from thousands of years of tunic fashion to create something entirely new. Kaftan dresses are spun from various fabrics and materials, with cotton kaftan dresses typically being the most popular, alongside much softer silk varieties and linen kaftan dresses for extra breathability. Their long, wide sleeves and relaxed fit make the kaftan your perfect summer staple.

Can a kaftan dress be worn for both casual and formal occasions?

An obvious yes for casual wear, a kaftan dress's relaxed fit makes it easy to dress down with sandals or flats while still maintaining an elegant look. While the flowing shape may seem intimidating for a formal event, an intricate pattern, lavish trim, and the way it's styled can turn this relaxed piece into an opulent evening gown. Opt for a kaftan in a high-quality, luxe fabric, dress it up with some heeled sandals or wedges, cinch it with a belt for shape, and layer on necklaces and your favourite silver or gold earrings and bangles for a stunning, formal look.

How do I choose the right kaftan dress for my body type?

The perfect thing about a kaftan is that its relaxed shape is universally flattering for every body type. It's the perfect throw-on-and-go dress for effortless style. If you love a more defined look, a kaftan with a waistline drawstring is your ultimate wardrobe companion, allowing you to switch between a flowing, relaxed fit and a more cinched waist to suit your mood.
