Whether you’re going to a wedding on the beach, a backyard barbecue or a black tie affair, Rachel’s styling tips will carry you and your caftan glamorously through this summer’s schedule of events.
Glamorous Summer Caftans
"To me, caftans are one of the most versatile pieces of clothing, meaning you can wear it from the beach to a barbeque to a cocktail party to a black tie event. Caftans are timeless and I never leave home without a few when I'm traveling because you never know where you're going to end up and need a caftan!"
Wear This Caftan To A Fancy Black Tie Event
"I would wear this Ralph Lauren caftan dressy for a black tie event or in a dream scenario, on the Riviera! I love this poppy summer red mixed with gold accessories like a beautiful bib necklace and metallic strappy sandals."
Wear This Caftan To A Casual Outdoor Party
"For daytime or even for the office, wear this embellished caftan with simple accessories like very thin jewelry, delicate diamond stud earrings and metallic silver or gold sandals. Once you pair this caftan with heels, it becomes more of an evening look."
Wear This Caftan To A Glam Brunch
"Since this Missoni caftan is a light color and printy, it works great for daytime events like a lunch or brunch. It doesn't feel very evening unless it's a casual beach wedding. Because there's a lot happening with the print, keep your accessories simple and maybe do a gorgeous turquoise drop earring."
Wear This Caftan To A Destination Wedding
"This Etro caftan is a piece of art. To wear it to a special dinner or destination wedding, I love it with dramatic earrings, an oversized cocktail ring and black strappy sandals."
