Patterned Short Kaftans
The cute and sensual short kaftans can be worn to work, to college or just about at home, we leave that to you. A patterned kaftan is apt to wear with shorts, capris, leggings, dress pants, and with short skirts or flair skirts too.
Morrocan Jellaba
The Morrocan Jellaba is a grand long-sleeve kaftan dress that finds its place with special events, cocktail parties and red carpet moments, should you be invited to one. Wear it over a salwar suit, an anarkali or even with western wear for flair and grand touches, and a fashion statement for sure would come through!
Graphic Kaftans
Dark and with graphic prints, let the audience wonder if the kaftan you chose is a long maxi skirt or a kaftan alone. Perfect to wear with loose trousers inside or just the ensemble alone, a pair of heels would make you look tall and slim in them!
Kimono Styled Maxi Kaftans
Much of the styles these days with kaftans are a cross over from maxis to the Greek ensembles. A kaftan on the same lines and in one colour from top to toe, and a sling in the middle for the waist, brings out a Goddess touch for evening parties!
