Where to Buy Stylish Kaftans: High Street, Designer & Boutique Picks

Author: Stylist at TellarDate: 2025

Kaftans have surged in popularity thanks to their effortless elegance, flowy silhouette, and versatility—from beachwear to evening glamour. Here's a curated guide through the best sources:

1. High Street Heroes

  • Zara

    Offers seasonal printed kaftans in silk-like or viscose blends, typically flattering but sometimes slightly tight at the bust. Ideal for trend-led purchases at affordable prices.

  • H&M Conscious Collection

    Delivers breezy, printed kaftans in eco-fabrics, with sizing often generous—perfect for casual wear.

  • Mango & COS

    Mango brings vibrant colours, while COS offers minimalist linen or silk blends. COS styles often run boxy—consider sizing down if you prefer structure.

2. Designer & Resort-Tour Favorites

  • Pippa Holt

    Renowned for classic striped kaftans and hand‑embroidered designs. According to the Pippa Holt guide on Tellar, their cotton kaftans have no stretch and sizing runs true to UK chart—for example, Size 1 ≈ UK 8, Size 3 for curves or height.

  • Dodo Bar Or

    Known for boho-luxe fringed kaftans. Tellar notes their pieces often run large, fabrics like silk and linen have no give, and size conversion can vary between stockists.

3. Boutique & Independent Finds

  • Aab Clothing

    Specialises in modest kaftans and abayas. Tellar explains that sizes are relaxed and some cape-style kaftans are intentionally oversized, so accurate matching is key.

  • BM Fashions

    Known for embellished kaftans for formal wear. According to Tellar, these cover full body but can be tight at shoulders; length can overwhelm petites.

  • Caravana

    Offers adjustable-wrap kaftans like their Kaan Kaftan. According to Tellar, this style is forgiving and elegantly drapey.

  • Cara Cara

    Known for vibrant maxi kaftans and structured corset pieces. Tellar suggests generous cuts overall but advises bust/shoulder measurement comparisons.


📏 Why Sizing Smart Matters

Kaftans span structured to free-flowing, and fabrics vary from stretchy knits to rigid cotton or silk. According to Tellar’s reviews:

  • Non-stretch fabrics require precise bust and hip allowances.

  • Oversized designs may overwhelm petite frames or create extra fabric around the waist.

  • Independent brands vary in length and cut consistency.

Guessing your size can lead to returns or style mishaps—but Tellar.co.uk's free sizing tool solves this.
