The Chicest Caftans to Wear Now

Caftans have a way of making every moment feel a little more glamorous. Whether worn poolside over a swimsuit or dressed up for dinner with sandals and statement earrings, they strike that rare balance between ease and elegance. With their flowing silhouettes and timeless appeal, caftans evoke the relaxed glamour of a bygone era while still feeling perfectly right for today. In this roundup, I’m sharing the chicest caftans from around the web to wear for spring break and all season long.

• This elegant ivory linen caftan features the chicest pleated bib detail. It is incredibly breathable (and a little bit sheer) for hot days by the water, and pairs beautifully with oversized sunglasses and a straw tote for days that flow from the beach to a long lunch.
• I've been reaching for rich jewel tones lately, making this burgundy silk caftan an instant favorite. The optional sash belt defines the waist beautifully. Style it with strappy sandals and gold hoops for evening drinks.
• A crisp striped cotton caftan is a warm weather necessity. It's the easiest thing to throw on but feels put together for wherever the day takes you. (Worn in the Bahamas here.)
• There is something so playful about the pink embroidery on this green woven caftan. The breezy flared sleeves provide effortless movement. Wear it with white block heels for entertaining at home or a fun afternoon gathering.
• Sometimes simple is best, and this minimalist ivory linen coverup is the epitome of understated chic. It drapes beautifully over the body, and is a blank canvas for fun accessories like this raffia tote or this rope bag.
• Every wardrobe needs a reliable, breathable layer like this striped linen popover. The side slits allow for easy movement on busy days. Throw it on with leather sandals and this little leather tote (my new obsession, I have it in two colors) for running errands or casual weekend brunches.
• Such a statement piece! This colorful printed caftan features the most eye-popping sea motifs. It is practically begging to be worn to a festive dinner under the stars. Just add oversized earrings and a sleek clutch. (And I'd pair with this rope tote for daytime adventures.)
• For a cheerful daytime look, you cannot beat this sunny yellow cotton blend caftan. The contrasting embroidery is such a lovely touch. I highly recommend pairing it with woven flats and a classic wicker bag.
• I love the vibrant Moroccan-inspired print on this silk-satin coverup. The elegant mandarin collar makes it feel so refined. It is the ideal piece to pack for a tropical getaway with metallic wrap sandals.
• An absolute dream for warm weather, this blue floral empire waist caftan is endlessly wearable. The fully elasticated seam is so flattering and comfortable. (I love pieces that feel this easy!) Style it with simple pearl studs and sandals.
• Nothing says vacation quite like this blue and white botanical caftan. The lightweight silk-voile and pleated back keep it incredibly airy. Style it poolside with a wide-brimmed hat, or dress it up for exploring local markets. I love the fabric and have this dress in the same blue and white floral print.
• You can never go wrong with a classic navy stripe, and this lightweight cotton caftan is a true staple. The deep V-neck is incredibly flattering and it would look great with this fun clutch.
• What a gorgeous purple hue on this linen caftan (only a few left)! The tie-fastening keyhole detail at the neckline adds a sweet, feminine touch. It is the perfect piece to wear with simple flat sandals for a day near the water. (Tuck this raffia clutch into your beach bag to transition to dinner.)
• If you want to make a splash, this metallic green stretch-knit coverup is a showstopper. The sculptural ring detail adds so much glamour. I would wear this straight from a pool party to sunset cocktails with the coordinating swimsuit.
• This peachy linen caftan linen caftan provides effortless glamour. I'd wear with sexy wedge heel and a slouchy raffia clutch.
• This elevated maxi shirt dress, is the ultimate spring staple. The custom embroidered detailing is exquisite. I will definitely be wearing this to leisurely weekend lunches with neutral accessories.
• This elegant navy embroidered caftan blends bohemian ease with refined scalloped edges. It even includes a separate cami for extra coverage. Pair it with metallic sandals for holiday escapades.
• I love the preppy glamour of this pink chevron V-neck caftan.
