Kaftans are the Holy Grail of beach fashion.
What Kinds Of Kaftans Can You Get?
Types and styles are as varied as their are designers to make them, and then some. Kaftans are colourful or monochrome, patterned or plain. They are available in any combination you can imagine. But the most important thing to remember is get something practical. That is not to say that they are not beautiful garments. Kaftans are every bit as gorgeous as any other kind of swimwear. But they are also there for a purpose. You need something that is comfy and shields you from the harsh rays of the sun. So when you buy a kaftan, make sure the arm length is exactly what you need, or that the length keeps your thighs covered. A lot of this is down to preference too as the temptation to cover up too much can make you feel stifled. And if you a diligent with your sun screen, you might only need a smaller kaftan with less coverage.
What Is The Best Style Of Kaftan To Buy?
When it does come to choices of style, go with anything you want, but we recommend something in particular. Go for the classics. That is common advice for all fashion, but we stand by that sentiment. Make sure that whatever you wear, you make it a timeless number. Black might not be great for the sun, but something as timeless. A cotton in off white, or an azure blue or something similar. As for patterns, a striped kaftan is always popular. Or something with a classic Eastern pattern for example. This is in keeping with the North African and Middle Eastern origin of this amazing garment. Whatever you pick, make sure you like to wear it yourself. It has to be comfy and stylish the way you would like it to be.
