How to Wear a Kaftan: Styling Ideas for Every Occasion

The kaftan is a piece of timeless elegance that reinvents itself for every occasion. Here are our styling ideas for wearing your Moroccan kaftan, from the grandest event to everyday life.

Define the waist with a belt

The mdamma (oriental belt) structures the silhouette and instantly transforms the look of a kaftan. Match it tone-on-tone for a subtle effect, or choose a contrasting belt to draw the eye. Discover our oriental belts and accessories.

The kaftan for a wedding or an evening

As a wedding guest, choose a wedding guest kaftan in deep tones (emerald, royal blue, burgundy) and finish the look with oriental jewelry. Avoid white and gold too close to the bride's.

The kaftan for Eid and celebrations

For Eid, a luminous, festive kaftan — embroidered or beaded — is a natural choice. It's the moment to bring out a piece in satin or silk with refined finishes.

The kaftan for every day

The modern kaftan can be worn daily too: clean cuts, flowing fabrics and neutral tones for an easy, chic look. Pair it with flat sandals or mules for a relaxed style.

Choosing for your body shape

The kaftan flatters every silhouette. A straight cut lengthens, a belt defines the waist, a V-neck refines the bust. See our size guide and explore all our Moroccan kaftans.
