Kaftan Types
Kaftans are made from light fabric that is perfect for vacation vibes. It comes in different beautiful colours, patterns, shades and shapes, which make it even easier for you to choose one for your style. If you don't find the description of a typical kaftan appealing for your unique style, then there is nothing to worry about because it comes in various types.
Kaftans can be long, as the length of the dress always touch your ankles and have an Afrocentric design, whereas short kaftans are more like loose cute tops that you can pair with jeans or leggings, or you can just show off your beautiful legs as you prefer. Not only this, kaftans can have an open style too, which is open at the front, unlike the traditional kaftan, which is completely closed in front. You can wear these kaftans as an overcoat or as cover-ups for your other outfits.
The original wear is made loose, which hangs around your body in a floaty style, but there is even an option for a fitted design kaftan where the fabric is narrow around the waist which will hug your waist beautifully, giving your body that hour-glass appearance and flatter your figure even more.
Some kaftans come with dual lengths where they will be of short length on the front but of long length on the back, making a wavy appearance on the sides as it connects the front and the back.
