Why Cocktail When You Can Caftail?
C ya, brat summer. We’re ready for caftans and cocktails.
Labor Day may have come and gone, but the internet is holding on strong to the endless days and warm summer nights with a new trend that we fully embrace: CAFTAILS.
What are caftails? Or, caftailing rather? So glad you asked. It’s the fine art of donning your favorite caftan (bonus points if you do this after a long day at the beach or lake), shaking up your favorite cocktail and enjoying them both together, all while dancing under the stars.
According to InStyle, “The caftan (sometimes spelled kaftan) has been with us for thousands of years; designers popularized the style in the United States in the '50s. In its modern iteration, the garment can represent a high-end, casual style—it's something to throw on for vacation, a trip to the pool, or generally feeling comfortable in the heat."
When you’re ready, we’ll let TikTokers @kimmurphytobin, @haley_elizabeth89 and @hippie_rn show you how it’s done.
Here's your caftail starter pack:
