Dries Van Noten Kaftan, Prada Headband, Saint Laurent Sunglasses, Marissa Klass Necklace, Pucci Bikini (top here)
Kaftans are an easy go-to this time of year—ideal for layering over a swimsuit at the beach or pool, or dressing up slightly while traveling somewhere warm. I’ve found so many beautifully made styles over the years that deserve more than a moment by the water. Their lightweight fabrics are perfect for these hot days, and I’ll sometimes add a belt to create a more polished shape. They’re effortlessly versatile and well-suited for long summer days spent near the water or out and about. Below, a few current favorites for wherever you’re headed this season.
This caftan boasts a neutral stripe pattern with contrasting lace detailing, a ruffle collar, drop shoulders with bell-shaped sleeves, and a self-tie waistband. Its relaxed fit makes it ideal for beach outings or alfresco evenings.
This breezy maxi dress features a vibrant coral and fuchsia wave print, a pleated bib, and a relaxed silhouette with a V-neckline and three-quarter sleeves. Crafted from 100% rayon, it’s perfect for warm-weather occasions.
