- Lightweight fabrics for warm climates
- Bold prints and tonal colors

How to Wear a Kaftan
Wear it loose over your swimsuit at the resort, then add shorts and sandals for market days. Cinch it with a belt over wide leg dress pants for an evening-ready take.

Pack It, Wear It, Repeat
Kaftans pack flat and never fight you — bring one for every print you love. Pair with socks and hosiery for the flight and t-shirts for layering, while foundations like seamless panties keep the flow uninterrupted.
Add sheer cover-ups, beach cover-ups, and the full cover-ups edit to round out your resort wardrobe, plus a Y2K beanie for the flight home. Kaftans make vacation dressing look effortless — because it is.
Choosing a Kaftan
Kaftans come in every silhouette, from relaxed A-line cuts to belted styles that add shape at the waist. Choose yours by how you'll wear it: loose and flowing for lounging and beach days, or cinched with a tie or belt for a more defined look at dinner. Length matters too — knee-length reads casual, midi feels resort-chic, and floor-length is pure drama.
Lightweight viscose and cotton blends drape beautifully and pack flat, making kaftans the easiest piece to throw in a suitcase. For even more one-piece ease on vacation, the jumpsuits and rompers edit has you covered.
