Jalabiya or Kaftan: Which Suits Which Occasion?

جلابية أم كفتان؟ ما يناسب كل مناسبة

Both are graceful, both are comfortable, and both can be tailored to you. The difference is in the cut and the mood.

The jalabiya

Usually closer to the body at the shoulders and neckline, with sleeves and cuffs that can carry detail. It suits family gatherings, visits and occasions where you want to look polished and modest.

The kaftan

Generally looser and more flowing, which makes it relaxed and elegant at once. It is a lovely choice for hosting, evenings and celebrations at home.
