Style statement just got refined whe
n designers started bringing Kaftan styled kurtas and dresses on the runway!
So lets begin with the history of Kaftans or (Caftans)..
What is a Kaftan? A Kaftan is an ankle-length or a mid length dress front-buttoned cloak or overdress first worn by the Persians in the 600 B.C’s  and is usually made of light fabric such as cotton, silk or cashmere.
The Kaftan trend have re-emerged throughout the fashion history again and again. It might just sink in and disappear for a while but when its back it just gets better! 
The trend setting era: The timeless, ethereal and floaty nature of the Kaftans  suits all body shapes and sizes. Its one of their best features. Those who thought Kaftans were only for beachwear , rethink again! Also for those who are little over weight and self conscious, Kaftans are the best options to hide those extra pounds. ;)
Ethnic edge to the Kaftans: It can also be worn as a Churidaar Kameez top . YES ! :D But just make the hemline reaches below the knees or till it touches your ankles. That’s it! Team it up with a pair of comfy chudi pants. And without much effort the spotlight turns on you.
There’s no doubt that kaftans give the wearer both a sensual and elegant appeal.
7 ways to style a Kaftan and how to each time wear it differently:
1. Beach wear : Kaftans are a perfect way to cover up  after a swim at a beach !
