Kaftans have long been a staple of fashionable women lounging by the pool or going to the beach, then being worn to lunch or possibly even dinner. Stylish women have packed their kaftans for holidays abroad or island vacations. But has this flimsy piece of fabric designed to be thrown over a bikini really transitioned from resort wear to every-day wear? I say, YES!

Kaftans can be worn with gladiator sandals, espadrilles, or high heels. They can be belted or worn loose. Some are designed oversized while others are more narrowly cut. Rachel Zoe even designed some mini-kaftans for her Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear Collection.

Rachel Zoe is the Queen of the Kaftan, and knows how to wear it with style!

Looking for inspiration on how to wear your kaftan with style this summer? Then check out these fashionable kaftans that can be worn day or night, or on the beach or out to dinner.

  “You should see how many kaftans I have,” laughs Lisa Marie Fernandez. “Enough for five lifetimes! I receive so many more compliments when I wear them compared with anything else because you can customize your outfit in a very unique way.”

Meanwhile, former Vogue and Times stylist Pippa Holt prefers to style hers up in a “luxe, urban way”, rather than heading down the “crafty” route. “Amp up the accessories and they will take you anywhere, any time,” she says. {Source: Vogue UK}

Kaftans have been a fashion staple for fashionistas for years. One of my favorite fashionistas I look to for style tips and trends is Olivia Palermo. Back in 2012, she featured 13 stylish and colorful kaftans on her blog (written by Teresa Greenfeld). Even though these kaftans may be sold out or no longer available today, they are still stylish and can be an inspiration for you as you look for your own kaftan for summer.

Do you own any kaftans? Do you just wear them as cover-ups to the beach or the pool, or do you dress them up and wear them out during the day or out to dinner?
