Cristiano Marchelli kaftan, Geneseo Leon hat, Celine sunglasses (old, similar here and here)
There’s no piece I return to more often in the summer than the kaftan. I wear one at home while working, pack one for every trip, and it’s nice to know it can be taken from the pool in the morning to dinner in the evening without missing a beat. It has the intuitive appeal of hiding, but the true version feels worthy of a reservation in every way.

Naturally, it is the color and pattern that makes one kaftan different from another. an all round palm print, graphic strip, dark paisley, saturated silkOr fringes Which adds movement, a sense of occasion to an otherwise casual silhouette. Worn with a wide-brimmed hat and flat sandals, it’s perfect for a sunny afternoon, and when it’s cocktail time at sunset, a sculptural earring, layered necklace, or small bag takes it beautifully into the evening.
