What Defines a Kaftan? A Timeless Modest Silhouette

The kaftan is one of the most timeless silhouettes in modest fashion, known for its flowing structure, relaxed fit, and effortless elegance. Unlike structured garments, a kaftan is designed to drape naturally, creating movement while maintaining full coverage.

What truly defines a kaftan is its wide sleeves and loose silhouette. These elements allow the garment to fall gracefully on the body, offering both comfort and sophistication. This makes the kaftan suitable for all body types and occasions — from everyday wear to refined gatherings.

Modern kaftans blend tradition with contemporary design, using premium fabrics and subtle details to elevate the look while preserving modesty. At Maisam, kaftans are designed with intention — focusing on flow, comfort, and timeless appeal rather than trends.
