Full-Length Kaftans and Caftans: The Edit

A full-length kaftan does the work of an outfit on its own: it covers, it flows, and it looks considered with nothing more than sandals. These are the long ones we would pack first.

For evenings

Silk velvet with a hand-embroidered neckline is our answer to a cool evening by the water or a dinner that calls for something richer. It drapes heavily and moves slowly, which is exactly what you want at night.

Printed silk for resort dinners

Printed silk catches the light and packs flat. The embellished neckline means you need no jewellery beyond earrings.

Soft colour for the day

Ombre fades from one shade into another down the length of the kaftan, so the colour sits quietly at the hem. This one has small mirrors worked into the neckline.

For the beach

Tie-dye and lace is the easiest long kaftan to throw on over swimwear and still walk into lunch.

Kaftan or caftan?

Both spellings mean the same loose, wide-sleeved robe; caftan is more common in the US and UK. Every piece here is made to order in XS to 8XL, so the length falls the same way whatever your size. For ways to wear them, see our full-length kaftan styling guide.
