It’s resort season, and a caftan should be first on your packing list for St. Martin or Palm Beach. The garment’s flowing silhouette, light fabric, and breezy aesthetic adds instant, elevated glam to any beach or resort outfit, whether you’re using it as a coverup with sunnies while lounging in your cabana or needing formalwear for a dinner reservation at the hottest (literally) restaurant on-island. Opt for a frock adorned in vibrant embroidery or go more neutral with a wear-everywhere color. Whatever your preference, here are some of the best and most stylish caftans for your warm weather getaway below.
