Look your best at the beach and beyond with our collection of women’s kaftans. Whether you’re drifting through the house in a cloud of pretty fabric or throwing one over swimwear en route to the beach bar, a good kaftan earns its keep. We’ve got dresses in crisp pure cotton, whisper-soft chiffon and linen blends that let your skin breathe. There are knee-length beach cover-ups, midaxi-length showstoppers, tie-neck numbers you can wear your way and angel sleeves that flutter like a fan in the breeze. The prints include candy stripes, colour-blocks and florals – think of the Riviera with a hint of the English country garden.
Ladies’ kaftans are endlessly useful. Pop one over your women’s swimwear for the dash to the pool, then add a pair of oversized women’s sunglasses and some strappy women’s sandals and you’re dressed for lunch. Because summer dressing is not a one-size-fits-all affair, we’ve made sure to include plenty of plus-size kaftans too, cut to skim rather than cling and guaranteed to keep you cool and comfy.
If you’re after something a little more tailored, have a peek at our edit of beach dresses and summer dresses for airy cotton frocks and midaxi styles that wouldn’t look out of place at a seaside supper. Also head to the women’s holiday shop, where you’ll find swimwear, sandals, sunglasses and all the other trimmings of a well-packed suitcase.
Women's Kaftan Dresses FAQs
What is a kaftan?
Women’s kaftans are airy and loose-fitting garments that take inspiration from traditional Asian robes. You’ll find lots of variations on the style, but common features include wide sleeves, lightweight fabrics and tied waists. As kaftans are comfortable and easy to wear, it’s common to throw one on as a handy cover-up, whether you’re on the beach or lounging at home. Decorative details such as fringing, tassels and pom-pom braids add playful touches and visual appeal.
How do you style a kaftan?
Women’s kaftans come in a variety of designs, so you can expect beachwear, daywear and even eveningwear options. To look stylish by the pool, pair your kaftan with coordinating swimwear and add detail with sparkly sandals or layered necklaces. For a casual daytime look, pull a semi-sheer kaftan over skinny jeans and a slim-fitting vest. An embellished mini kaftan in a statement colour gets you party-ready in a flash when worn together with wedge sandals.
Is a kaftan a summer dress?
Breezy, breathable fabrics make kaftans ideal picks for summer outfitting. Pull-on-and-go shapes, along with loose fits, mean you stay cool and feel relaxed. As many of the women’s kaftans in our collection come in bright colours or feature statement prints, the effect is suitably sunshine-y. That said, you can enjoy the comfort of a kaftan at any time of the year by layering yours over leggings.
