Did you ask for another Kaftan picture? No. Did I still put it up? Yes. #ThankMeLater #KaftanSeries," wrote actor Kareena Kapoor Khan in an Instagram post dedicated to her love for kaftans. Of late, it seems like the mom-to-be has made breezy kaftans her outfit of choice to look stylish and stay comfortable while under lockdown, even wearing one for husband Saif Ali Khan's 50th birthday celebrations. With its flattering-yet-glamorous silhouette, a kaftan makes for a great wardrobe choice, and not just for expecting mums. Plus, with Mumbai's erratic rains, it makes for a better sartorial choice than a pair of jeans. So be it at home or for a low-key meet-up with your besties, celebrity stylist Maneka Harisinghani shares different ways to wear the outfit.

Chic city girl

With the lockdown being eased out, it means that you are out more often. But with the past few months spent lounging at home in your pyjamas, dressing up can be an effort. That's when a kaftan comes in. "If one has to convert this bohemian silhouette to a chic city look, think of a kimono-style, printed silk kaftan in a bright hue like red. Layer the neck with gold medallion neckpieces and add some bohemian beads for a touch of whimsy," suggests Harisinghani. For a more glamorous look, wear mid-sized hoops in a gold tone and layer them if you have multiple piercings. "With a bright colour, it's best to wear simple footwear like rope gladiators in a nude tone. Carry a natural wicker bag [for your groceries], sport a pair of classic oversized sunnies, and you are set," she adds.
