Prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic, fashion priorities have taken a drastic turn. The most interesting outfit trend that’s emerged is the gaining popularity of the muumu and kaftan. Muumus are long dresses that hang from the shoulders typically patterned with flowers. Kaftans however are narrow-cut long robe like with long sleeves.

These two pieces are popular because they’re relaxed and comfortable for at-home work but also classy and ventilated for the summer heat. Paired with a sunhat and a wedge you’ve got a sophisticated pool look that you can feel confident in without showing too much skin.

Personally, I could see myself on a beach with a pina colada in either a kaftan or a muumu. These pieces are the epitome of summer 2022 which has been about relaxing and recharging. Even thought they are summer looks they are also wearable in the fall, you could wear them on a walk through the fall leaves or to a family event and even traveling.

Muumuus can be fashioned with a heel for a comfortable yet put-together look as well. As for a Kaftan pairing a straw bag and flat or boot (Depending on the cut and length). Kaftans can be styled in so many fashionable ways and were originally popular centuries ago. It’s often great to take a look at the past for ideas on how to better take on today.
