How to Style a Hand Block Printed Kaftan: 5 Effortless Looks
A hand block printed kaftan is one of the most versatile pieces you can own. Whether you're heading to a beach holiday, a summer brunch, or a casual evening out, the right styling makes all the difference. Here are five effortless ways to wear yours.
1. The Beach Cover-Up
Throw your kaftan over a swimsuit with flat sandals and a woven tote. The lightweight Indian cotton breathes beautifully in the heat, and the bold block print means you need zero accessories to look put-together.
2. Belted for Shape
Add a thin leather or rope belt at the waist to define your silhouette. This works especially well with longer kaftan styles and instantly transforms a relaxed silhouette into something more structured and chic.
3. Layered with Denim
Wear your kaftan as a tunic over slim-fit jeans or white trousers. This is a great transitional look for cooler evenings — the print does the talking while the denim grounds the outfit.
4. The Festive Look
Pair with jhumka earrings, kolhapuri sandals, and a potli bag for a festive Indian occasion. Hand block printed cotton has deep roots in Indian textile heritage, making it a natural fit for celebrations.
5. Desk to Dinner
Style with block-heeled mules and a structured clutch for a work-from-home-to-evening transition. The artisan print elevates the look without any extra effort.
