In the era of corseted styles and form-fitting clothes that once dominated Western fashion, kaftans' flowy and liberating fit was like fresh air. Embrace the classic apparel adorned with modern designs and patterns available on Nykaa Fashion!

• Embroidered Velvet Kaftans

These kaftans blend the luxurious kaftan fabric with the rich embroidery work to create sophisticated luxury. The embroidery gives a regal vibe while the fabric drapes nicely over the body. The necklines tend to be heavily embroidered with similar work scattered across the body. Generally, plain fabric is selected to allow the embroidery work to shine beautifully. 

• Solid Velvet Kaftans

These solid velvet kaftans are cut from solid velvet fabric without any prints or patterns. Embellishments are either not present or used minimally. You will find various color options to pick from, depending on the occasion. The ombre effect is also available in this category. 

• Printed Velvet Kaftans

Prints like florals, animal-inspired patterns, Baroques, and ethnic motifs add a touch of depth and artistic flair to the lush velvet fabric. These are simple to wear but can be styled up even on basic days. Complementing color combinations are available. 

• Embellished Velvet Kaftans

Embellishments are used to level up the rich velvet kaftans. Sequined designs are popular picks. Many kaftans feature a sleek, embellished belt that spice up the overall look and accentuate the waist of an otherwise flowy outfit. 

Style Guide to Look Amazing in Velvet Kaftans

While the silhouette remains the same for all kaftans, they offer versatile styling opportunities for various events and occasions.

• Party Wear

Rock your next party in a knee-length, solid velvet kaftan with an embellished belt. The velvet will make you look luxurious, and the belt will add a chic, contemporary tone to the outfit. Pair the look with heels and earrings. Try matching the accessories with the belt to create a classy uniformity. Smoky eyes and nude lipstick will be ideal.

• Festive Wear

Vibrant, heavily embellished velvet kaftans are perfect for festivals and celebrations. Pick a long kaftan or pair a short one with matching bottomwear. Go heavy on the jewelry. Wear big earrings, bangles, and rings. Traditional footwear is a must! Opt for a light or full-on glam based on the event. 

• Casual Wear

Pairing lightweight, printed, or solid velvet kaftans with jeans & jeggings is suitable for casual dress codes. Depending on the time of day, choose between bright or neutral colors. Minimum makeup and jewelry will do. You can wear flats.

• Lounge Wear

You have short tops with pajamas in similar or different colors and prints for loungewear. These are comfortable yet stylish. Put on the velvet kaftan, wear a pair of chappals or flat slip-ons, and you are good to go. Jewelry is not required, but you can choose simple, sleek rings and studs.

Things to Consider When Shopping for Velvet Kaftans

Velvet kaftans are quite versatile and suit different body types. Consider the following factors to find the best kaftan for you.

• Sleeve Type

Kaftans can have full, half, or three-fourth sleeves. Full sleeves exude a posh, smart feel, and half sleeves are fun and stylish. The sleeves tend to be flared, which looks nice and allows good airflow. 

• Neckline

Round and V-necks are common in kaftans. Round necks flatter almost all body types, and V-necks elongate the neck. Furthermore, embellished necklines offer a rich look even with little accessorizing. However, avoid it if you want to avoid drawing attention towards your neck or upper body. 

• Fit

When buying kaftans, remember that they generally have a loose fit. Do not intentionally select a size up or a size down. They are designed to create a flowy fit and give the same in your size. 

• Length

Kaftans can be ankle-length, below or parallel to the knees, and short like a top. You will have to style different types of bottom wear based on your pick. You can wear an ankle-length or midi-length kaftan as it is; any shorter one might require a bottom.
