A kaftan is a long and loose dress that a women in Pakistan,
Persia, and select other Middle Eastern countries wear as traditional daily
wear. Sometimes called a "caftan", the dress is long enough to cover
the ankles for length, and each arm goes to the wrist. Made of various materials,
a kaftan is an adaptation of the robe that covers the woman modestly and
sometimes fashionably. Traditional kaftans cover Islamic women as per their
tradition. However, modern kaftans have a more haute and sought after appeal
for the masses and are crafted for sitting poolside, going on dates, or simply
making a statement.
A simple leather slip-on or sandals go best with the
traditional Kaftan as it is typically long enough to cover the feet. For modern
kaftans heels compliment the shopper the best.
Regardless of how the kaftan is made or worn, the woman
wearing it is most likely comfortable since none of the fabric is skin tight or
restrictive.

Modern Kaftans
Although traditional kaftans flow to the floor and cover the
length of the arm, modern kaftan adaptations are the length of a T-shirt and
they may even have short sleeves. Wearing a kaftan in warmer climates is
appropriate around the world.
Wearing a short-sleeved kaftan and a pair of shorts or a
bathing suit under it is quite common in tropical temperatures. Now it’s also a
part of casual wear.
Most of women choose to put on the long kaftan or even short
caftan at home instead of gown or even house wear. The loose fitting of kaftan
will be the best option to your pregnant lady to cover as well as protect the
particular fetus without diminishing the girl beauty and also body figure.
Caftan can be used like a maternity dress furthermore.
Accessorizing a Kaftan
Whether attending a formal event or a simple cocktail hour,
accessories can elevate the ensemble. A dangling pair of earrings with either
an updo or downward hairstyle brings attention to the face, but also the
embroidery at the neckline of the garment. Never clinch a kaftan with a waist
belt as it kills the authenticity of the garment. Small studs are worn in the ears,
or a detailed necklace or long chains compliment best with the kaftans. There
is no rule of matching colors and accessory of the garment, it completely up to
the shopper what she prefers to wear.

If the kaftan is worn on a holiday or casually around the
house a shopper can wear sandals or even wear nothing so as to remain
comfortable. Heels in general add an air of glamor, as opposed to a flat
sandal.
