A kaftan is a loose, flowy robe or tunic, usually with wide sleeves, designed for comfort and style. It's perfect for all body types and occasions, from casual lounging to grand celebrations.
Originating in ancient Mesopotamia, kaftans were worn by Persian royalty, made from luxurious silks and decorated with gems.
Over centuries, this elegant garment traveled across the Ottoman Empire, North Africa, and India, with each region adding its own flair.
The kaftan became a global fashion icon in the 1960s when stars like Elizabeth Taylor embraced its effortless charm. Today, it's a beloved wardrobe essential, especially in summer.
Why? Kaftans are lightweight, breathable, and allow easy movement- keeping you cool and stylish even on the hottest days.
Whether you're hitting the beach, attending a brunch, or lounging at home, a kaftan makes you look polished with zero effort.
