How to Style a Kaftan: 5 Easy Ways to Wear It

A kaftan is one of the most versatile pieces in resortwear — and one of the most underused. Here are five ways to actually get your money's worth out of one.

1. Straight over your swimsuit

The obvious one, but worth doing right: choose a kaftan long enough to cover to mid-thigh at least, so it works walking from your room to the pool, not just lounging at it.

2. Belted for brunch

Add a thin belt at the waist and a kaftan instantly becomes a daytime dress. This works especially well with our kaftans and cover-ups, most of which are cut loose enough to belt without looking bulky.

3. Layered with a bikini underneath for evening

Left open over a bikini top and paired with statement earrings, a kaftan reads as an evening look, not just a beach cover-up — especially in richer prints or solid jewel tones.

4. With a bag and hat, no jewellery needed

Let the kaftan do the work. Pair it with a simple beach bag and a wide-brim hat for an effortless, put-together look with zero extra effort.

5. As a robe for lazy resort mornings

Don't save it only for going out — a soft kaftan doubles perfectly as a robe over breakfast on the balcony.

The best kaftans do more than cover up — they're a genuine outfit on their own, which is exactly what we design ours to be.
