Perennial.

The caftan. Perfected over two millennia ago, unchanged since.

Worn by millions of women (and men) in Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, Arabia, India, Sumatra, Malaya, the Sahara.

Why should you feel shy about doing it?

A caftan can be on the sensual side, that’s true. Something about the way the fabric flows over your body while you lounge around and entertain.

When you consider that nothing is more comfortable or easier to wear, though, it’s probably worth the risk.

Striped Flannel Caftan (No. 3343), ankle-length cut of deliciously soft, light brushed cotton, cut generously to keep moving over your skin. V-neck. Raised front hem (different, potentially trip-preventing). Side pockets. Long side slits to reveal the one uniformly great part of every woman’s leg. Imported.

Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL.

Color: Multi Color Stripe.
