White Kaftans
Traditionally the kaftan is an item of clothing that, regardless of the culture in which it figured, was synominus with a bold use of both colour and pattern. This trend has continued to a certain extent, and is more apparent in the designs of the kaftan dress, which are still quite striking and lavish; however, because of our thirst for more modern designs from the kaftan tops and beachwear, the white kaftan has really grown in popularity.
One of the main reasons for this trend is that although the dresses are worn on their own, in the most part there is a need for some colour and pattern but the tops and beach kaftans are usually worn as part of an ensemble, whether it be with a swimsuit or a pair of shorts or trousers, which gives the individual the chance to add more vibrancy in other areas of the outfit.
The climate in which modern kaftans tend to be worn is also a factor when selecting a colour, and with it usually being a warmer climate, the obvious choice for many is a white kaftan.
