Holiday chic with a kaftan

Posted on by

There’s a fine line between a nice kaftan and a terribly kitsch one. There’s also a fine line between matching it the right way, looking trendy and “holiday chic”, and ending up looking like you bought the whole outfit on the beach at an extremely cheap price…

The only way to go, is buying it from a well established, world renown, chic, overpriced (but now on sale), site:

I guess the fedora type of hat is my kind of thing…

 

 

 

And all of these:

If you really want to be a diva, here’s a couple of wider brimmed hats:

Otherwise, one could go for just a visor:

Here’s also a rather intriguing one, for the more flamboyants of us:

Last, something a little unusual:

Do make sure your hat is going to be made of natural fibres, or you will end up feeling hotter than without one… I have done it.
