Long Kaftans is Melissa Odabash's full-length kaftan collection, in cotton, linen and open-knit texture, built to carry from lounger to dinner table in one piece. Length is the one decision a kaftan forces before any other - how much of the day it needs to cover, and how formal it should read once it does its job. Long Kaftans settles that question at the fullest end of the whole range, for the customer who wants one piece to carry from lounger to dinner table. Monica Jardin Kaftan fronts the edit in a jardin cotton print, while Nina White Flowers Kaftan and Petra White Flowers Kaftan bring a cleaner white poly-cotton alternative for the days a plainer piece suits better than something patterned. Naia Black Kaftan, Ivy White Kaftan, Stevie White/Marine Kaftan, Josie Sand Knit Kaftan, Brianna Blossom Kaftan, Hillary White/Burgundy Dress, Ashley Black Dress and Victoria Black Dress extend the range across cotton, linen and open-knit textures, all cut to the same full length for genuine beach-to-evening versatility across a whole trip. Colour runs from clean whites through to jardin print, so the choice comes down to occasion rather than availability. Wear over any swimsuit for a beach-to-dinner change that needs no second layer, finished with sandals and jewellery from Accessories. A long kaftan should do the whole day's work in one piece, not just the afternoon's share of it, which is exactly why it earns its place in a considered case. Few single garments earn their price per wear as convincingly as a long kaftan reached for daily.
