How to style a caftan for Ramadan

The belt is often the first accessory that comes to mind. It structures the silhouette and redraws the waist. An embroidered belt or one adorned with stones adds a more ceremonial accent, while a finer belt in a tone on tone colour creates a discreet and elegant effect. For Ramadan, it is possible to play with variation. A golden belt for an important evening, a softer version for a family ftour.

Jewellery also plays an essential role. With a caftan that is already rich in embroidery, it is sometimes better to choose a single strong piece. A short necklace, a refined pair of earrings or a wide bracelet can be enough to define the look. When the caftan is more minimal, it accepts more layering. Fine chains, delicate rings, a mix of textures, each choice expresses a style.

Shoes and bag complete the outfit. Refined sandals, elegant babouches or simple heels lengthen the silhouette without drawing attention away from the caftan. The bag can remain simple and structured, in a colour that harmonises with the outfit. For Ramadan, when evenings can be long, comfort remains a priority. It is best to choose shoes in which it is possible to walk, host, serve and share with ease.

Hairstyle is part of the invisible but decisive accessories. A low bun, slightly wavy lengths or a neat ponytail clear the face and highlight the neckline and embroidery of the caftan. A jewel hair clip or a delicate headband can be enough to echo the shine of a belt or a piece of jewellery.

Layering adds a final dimension. A light shawl, a cape or a coat inspired by traditional codes makes it possible to adapt the outfit to cooler Ramadan evenings in winter. Here again, the idea is to preserve balance. Colours that are close, compatible fabrics, lines that prolong those of the caftan rather than contradict them.

At DAR AL KAFTAN, the caftan is seen as a base that can be interpreted in many ways. A few accessories chosen with intention are enough to transform the same piece from an intimate evening to a more formal event. The important thing is to keep coherence between the richness of the caftan and the level of detail in the accessories, in order to preserve a serene elegance that matches the spirit of Ramadan.
