Did you know the kaftan (sometimes spelled caftan) originated in Persia and Turkey, somewhere in the seventh century? The Fashion Institute of Technology out of New York City has a fascinating piece on the history and significance of the kaftan in fashion.

Most of us have seen kaftans in popular culture, mostly topped with outlandish turbans in the 70s. Think Elizabeth Taylor. Think Studio 54, air kisses, and sky-high heels.

What I love most about the kaftan is its versatility. You could layer this piece beneath a full skirt, pile on gold jewelry, and rock some sky-high stilettos for a fabulous evening look. Or you could go simple with gold gladiator sandals. Throw on your bikini underneath, and spend the day lounging like Hollywood royalty.
