I have a confession. I am obsessed with caftans. I love the word, I love the concept, I love the lifestyle they represent. When I packed for my Hawaii trip, I brought five caftans for a six day trip. FIVE CAFTANS. Unhealthy? Probably. Fabulous? Definitely. If I had my druthers, I’d spend my days lazing about in my big straw hat and my breezy caftan, drinking an aperol spritz on my veranda overlooking the ocean blue. Sigh. A girl can dream.

Bring me all the caftans.

As I build my caftan wardrobe (there will one day be a closet just for caftans in my house, I promise you), I’ve picked out some of my faves to share with you. One of the greatest things about cover ups is that they are available at every price point, in every print or fabrication, and for every body type. Caftans for everyone. Weeeeeee!

The following are a few that caught my eye…and a few that may or may not already be in my closet (my closet of caftans…I can’t stop saying caftan). A must for any beach vacation, these beauties will keep you protected from the sun, effortlessly stylish, and livin’ that life of leisure all the day long.
