Summer Staple: The Caftan Dress

With May soaring by, I am automatically transitioning into beach mode! Whether it means a road trip home to Destin or booking a flight to an exotic destination (I wish), I am just so ready to take off to somewhere tropical. My online shopping wish list is flooded with beach-ready styles, so I figured I’d share one of my favorite summer staples – the caftan dress. What I love most about a caftan dress for summer is the flowy shape that keeps you cool even on warm days, and also the festive prints they generally feature! Perfect with sandals for the beach or wedges for an evening look, a caftan dress is an absolute must-have for summer!

I snagged this caftan below from BuddyLove, and it’s perfect for vacation! If a bold yellow isn’t your cup of tea, I also included a slideshow below of some of my other favorite caftan dresses! One tip I have for these: purchase a nude tank dress to transition a flowy chiffon caftan into a dinner-ready look. The sheer fabric can be stunning paired with metallics for a beach dinner!
