Modest fashion has taken over the
fashion industry with its exotic Caftans and beautiful hijabs. It is no longer
a simple niche in the fashion industry that interests only Islamic women. With
the advent of the digital world, more and more women are flocking towards a
contemporary dressing style that doesn’t strictly cater to the male gaze with
revealing designs and body-hugging materials. Caftans are an amazing choice for
women who adhere to modest dressing with their free form yet chic designs and
exotic patterns that attract women all over the world.
Caftan is designed to offer maximum freedom of moment and as such are
never body hugging. However, you can choose to accessorize it with a statement
belt or multihued scarves to give them a beautiful shape. For Islamic women,
modest dressing is a cultural need. This is the reason why it was an obscure
niche for a long period of time before the designers and fashion industry
experts realized the potential of the modest dressing trend. Today, major brands like Mango and Nike
produce high functioning hijabs and beautiful Abayas and Caftans that have
taken over the world with their designs and exotic heritage.
Major labels like NOOR, Mango and
Nike have focused on the simplistic yet elegant style of modest dressing with
brands like Mango making season-wise releases of new styles and designs of
beautiful Caftans and other items of modest clothing. The affluent and the
elegant are all in love with the beauty of modest clothing that doesn’t cater to any prevalent revealing trend but
rather tries to beautify every woman naturally. Caftans are no doubt one of the
top favourite items that have been featured by celebrities and the affluent
family groups over and over again. Some women claim that a Caftan is an absolute
must-have clothing item that can be dressed up or down to suit almost any
occasion that you may need to attend.
Here’s a few styling tips on how
to wear the Caftan like a celeb:
1.
To create a bold yet modest look, you can choose a flowing Caftan
in solid or pastel colours and pair it with hoops and multihued scarves.
2.
For a beach party or a day out in the sun, you should always
select a caftan made of breathable material and pair it with a beautiful straw
hat, navel length layered neckpieces, sunglasses and of course lots of
sunscreens!
Evening party wear and formal wear can also be created out of caftans. Pair a richly embroidered caftan with a pair of boots and shiny jewellery and you is ready to rock a party. You can also choose one of the colour gradient caftans that have become the newest trend to ear to the office with a simple pendant or even combine it with blazers or coats.
