For Summertime Ease, You Need a Kaftan—Here’s How to Style it in the City ...Middle East

Call it a summer rite, but every year, a nostalgic fashion item makes a grand return to our wardrobes. This season, it’s all about the kaftan. The perennial beach staple, known as (I hate to say it), a throw-on-and-go swimsuit cover-up, is returning in a way that feels more inspired by its past—while still nodding to the icons that embraced it.

Vogue’s Favorite Kaftans:

For Subtle Embellishment

From the rich textures worn by Marella Agnelli, the Italian socialite and Truman Capote swan to the vivid color, print, and embroidery embraced by Andre Leon Talley, whose kaftans could be seen at “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” at The Met last year, designers are taking these past inspirations and bringing them into the present. Today’s kaftans aren’t just to be worn over a bikini, but styled in unexpected ways that capture summer’s expressive, free-spirited tone. Our favorite contemporary interpretation? Worn as a dress over pants—a look Julianne Moore’s character Michaela Kell nails; her wardrobe in the limited series alone makes it worth the watch.

Whether in chiffon, silk, linen, or crisp cotton, a billowing kaftan is an inherently versatile and effortless piece that brings comfort, ease, and elegance into a wardrobe, no matter the occasion. We show you how it’s done below—oh, and only one of them involves you wearing it to the beach!

Balmy Summer Nights

Sara Cristina knows how to do resortwear, and that’s evident with this pearl-embellished kaftan that can be worn on and off the sandy shores. Leave your glowy summer legs bare and accessorize with art-deco-inspired pieces.
