A caftan is a long garment with wide sleeves. Often it is made from just one square pattern. The colours of kaftans are usually vivid and detailed. The caftan is a vacation fashion staple that began being considered fashionable in western countries since the 1960s and 1970s. I have about ten (9!) of them in my own wardrobe.

If a caftan is costly made with embroideries and pearls it is splendid to use for an evening dress. The material is quite often silk or viscose. But there are caftans made of rather still cotton too. My caftans come from Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia and other countries. Sometimes there is a peace of the same material to wrap on your head as a hat to match.

A caftan may be open down the front and come with a self-tie belt, or it may feature a zipper closure. I have both actually. Some voluminous kaftans have a wide neck and are designed as a pull-over. In general, petite people look best in a caftan style that is closer to knee-length and is body-skimming.

The neckline of a caftan can be round, square, or v-shaped. I love my caftans and they have come to be like a trade mark for me. My children make jokes about me when I go out in public to buy milk with my caftan.
