Kimono Sleeve Dresses | Tunic Kaftans

Kimono Sleeve Dresses & Tunic Kaftans
Dropped shoulder 1980s style tops, and kimono sleeve Kaftans create silhouette tunics with relaxed looks perfect for casual and comfortable relaxed summer wear. Kaftan tops are ideal with jeans, shorts or other trousers, or on the beach as cover up wear.
These short dresses use intense colour mixes, magnificent border prints to create dresses with exotic flair and mystery.
The wide kimono sleeve left is important to note as follow-on styles will be led by this look.

Kimono and loose easy Kaftan styles also feature strongly in maxi dress silhouettes. These maxi dresses are both empire line in silhouette, and follow the tiered styles set last year by Dolce and Gabbana. These examples illustrate the designer version at Gucci or the high street low cost credit crunch version from Primark. The full sleeves signal new shapes to come.
