RFH: Kaftans - The Ultimate Summer Clothing Item?

For this Recreate Fashion History Challenge, Sarah took on the gorgeous Sharon Tate, channeling a shot from 1968 by Alan Pappe. Sharon’s kaftan was by Thea Porter - a fashion designer who famously brought Middle Eastern inspired designs to England & America in the 1960s. Among the first to rock Thea’s kaftans were Sharon, Elizabeth Taylor, Lauren Bacall, Bianca Jagger, Princess Margaret….so this truly is fashion history!

Keep scrolling to see some of our favorite kaftans on the market today - the perfect summertime companion for pools, parks, and paradise (even if paradise is just the comfort of your own home).
