Summer season welcomes a lot of changes in wardrobe; we see sandals, sun glasses and light fabrics making way in our wardrobes. Another summer style statement is the breezy, slightly loose-fitting yet equally elegant kaftan which is hot and humid climate’s best bet.

Though the pandemic has limited social gatherings, a classic kaftan is good for any to all occasions that call for an inspiring ensemble: from an urgent zoom meeting to a last moment birthday celebration at home.

The classic look is also endorsed by a lot of celebrities; it is not just Mahira Khan who loves kaftans, but the statement dress actually possess the allure to become one of the most beloved dress by international fashion icons. Take Elizabeth Taylor or J.Lo, for instance. The versatile drape has been the favourite of designers like Yves Saint Laurent as well because it combines comfort, grace and glamour.

Mahira wore an ice blue kaftan by Elan to the grand ceremony of National Amateur Short Film Festival. The ensemble was accentuated with light embellishments and looked perfect to carry from a day to night.
