Are you an avid Kaftan wearer, or does Kaftko have the chance to be your first? A Kaftan dress can be described as one of the most elegant and beautiful garments you can wear. And we think men deserve to feel just as beautiful as their female and non-binary counterparts. Worn by the dignitaries and women of the palace at first, it became fashionable among the middle classes from the late 17th century onwards. [48] A kaftan or caftan ( / ˈ k æ f t æ n/; Arabic: قفطان, qafṭān; Persian: خفتان, khaftān; Turkish: kaftan) is a variant of the robe or tunic. Originating in Asia, it has been worn by a number of cultures around the world for thousands of years. In Russian usage, kaftan instead refers to a style of men's long suit with tight sleeves.Today in Morocco, kaftans are worn by women of different social groups and the word kaftan is commonly used to mean a "one-piece traditional fancy dress". Alternative two-piece versions of Moroccan kaftans are called takchita and worn with a large belt. The takchita is also known as Mansouria which derives from the name of Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur, who invented Al-Mansouria and the new fashion of wearing a two-piece kaftan. [49] Turnau, Irena (1991).
