this years fashion icon. Its comeback
has swamped the sarong and overpowered the pareo

Todays kaftans (or caftans) can be slim-fitting,
figure-hugging and trendy. Variations on
the kaftan are perfect cover-ups on the beach, in
the house or all the way to the most glamorous red
carpet events.
How to Wear the Kaftan
Kaftans this year come in all shapes and sizes
and can be worn long or short from tunics to
long flowing, feminine gowns. Many have chic
embellishments with jewels and beads, and clinch-
waisted styles offer a far more feminine
silhouette.
On the Beach
? Wear it over swimwear to camouflage lumps and
bumps. Short tunic styles are great as
respectable cover-ups on the beach. Wear them
clinched at the waist to give off an

hourglass figure. Long sleeved ones with low
V-necks are flattering for bigger busted women
and will disguise flabby arms, otherwise exposed
to the sun.
Day or Evening Wear
? Wear a kaftan top in the city with skinny jeans
and a wide leather belt.
? For evenings, long flowing kaftan gowns add
feminine chic, but avoid voluminous loose tents
which drown the figure. Figure skimming ones are
the most flattering and right on trend with
clinched waists and figure hugging cuts.
