Share
Once reserved for holidays and lazy lounging, kaftans are now having a serious fashion moment - and for all the right reasons!!! Comfortable yet elevated, easy yet elegant, they’ve emerged as the go-to silhouette for modern Indian women who want versatility without sacrificing style.
At Tabeer by Rakhi Sharma, kaftans are more than a trend. They’re a celebration of flow, femininity, and fuss-free fashion, and the best part? You can wear them from sunrise to soirée with just a few styling swaps.
- Pair with minimal flats or juttis
- Add delicate silver or beaded earrings
- Throw in a canvas tote
- Skip heavy makeup, let your skin breathe like your outfit
Why Kaftans Are the New Wardrobe Heroes
-
Effortless Comfort
Made from breathable fabrics like mul cotton, Chanderi, and modal, kaftans feel like second skin, perfect for India’s weather and your on-the-go lifestyle. -
Universally Flattering
With their fluid drape and often cinched waists or drawstrings, kaftans suit all body types—gracefully skimming the body without clinging. -
Cultural Yet Contemporary
The kaftan blends traditional ease with modern flair. Especially when detailed with mirror work, dori embroidery, or hand-stitched accents, it becomes the perfect East-meets-West piece. -
A Sustainable Choice
Unlike mass-produced fast fashion, Tabeer’s kaftans are hand-embroidered, artisanal, and made in small batches, each one carrying a unique signature of craftsmanship.
