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

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.

📏 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.
