Classy Caftans from Boudoir to Beach
A caftan is a glamorous maxi dress, a de rigueur part of a fashionable wardrobe here in the Palm Beaches. You don’t need to live in Palm Beach or Beverly Hills to add some special caftans to your wardrobe. Rachel Zoe has famously made the look attainable for glam girls everywhere. Whether you plan to wear yours at home, entertaining a few friends or a very special someone, or to bring to your tropical vacation next winter for poolside lounging, the caftan will add comfort and glamour to your resort wardrobe. Channel Elizabeth Taylor in Puerto Vallarta with an authentic 1960s caftan – or just turn heads at this year’s Hampton’s farewell to summer bash. Rest assured that noone else will be wearing the same caftan or resort ensemble by choosing an authentic vintage version.
