Cool in Caftans

waist, they can have bell 

sleeves or batwings and can 

come in any color or print 

you can imagine. These 

stunning garments have 

withstood the test of time, 

being favored by the likes of 

Elizabeth Taylor and style 

icon Rachel Zoe.

When the temperature 

rises and humidity is at an 

all time high here in Destin, 

who wants to deal with 

bulky layers. If you must 

wear anything other than 

a bathing suit, the caftan 

will become your new best 

friend. Every girl living 

along the stunning Emerald 

Coast should own at least 

one fabulous caftan, if not 

two or three! They are the 

perfect garment to throw on 

over a swimsuit for a casual 

après beach cocktail and can 

be dressy enough to wear 

to a formal event. When 

paired with a nude heel and 

statement jewelry a caftan 

can really be a showstopper. 

The large natured sleeves of 

a caftan make it the perfect 

outfit to pair with a clutch. 

You can choose to create 

a casual vibe with a straw 

option with a toggle closure 

or go full glam with a beaded 

or leather fold over style. 

You may be thinking, “I’m 

a jeans and T-Shirt type of 

gal, I’m not fashion forward, 

I’m not bold enough to 

pull it off, or I don’t have 

the right body type.” 

You’re wrong! Caftans are a 

glamorous choice for women 

of all shapes and sizes. Ditch 

the Spanx because this 

magical piece of clothing 

hides all your flaws. They 

can also elongate someone 

who is petite and are even an 

excellent choice for dressing 

up a baby bump. All in all, 

the caftan is an easy breezy 

statement piece that every 

beach babe needs in her 

closet.
