What Is a Kaftan and How Do You Wear It?
A kaftan is a loose, flowing tunic with roots in ancient Middle Eastern and North African dress. At Sai Sankoh we design kaftans that drape elegantly over curves — wear them as a beach cover-up, a daytime dress with flats, or dress them up with heels and bold jewelry for evening.
A kaftan is traditionally a long, loose garment with wide sleeves designed for comfort and breathability. In modern resortwear, it becomes a versatile wardrobe hero: choose lightweight cotton or silk blends for daytime beachwear; choose luxe satin or embellished prints for evening. Styling tips:
- Day: pair with flat sandals, straw bag, wide-brim hat.
- Travel: fold gently into a garment pouch or lay flat in a suitcase; choose wrinkle-resistant blends for travel ease.
- Night: cinch the waist with a belt, add statement earrings and a strappy heel to create definition and glamour.
