🧣 7 Winter Styling Tips for Velvet Kaftans

Layer It Up
Wear a turtleneck or thermal top underneath lightweight kaftans for warmth without bulk. -

Add Texture with Scarves
A cashmere wrap, wool scarf, or velvet stole adds sophistication and cosiness. -

Go Monochrome or Contrast
Choose a single colour palette for a streamlined look or add contrast with bold accessories. -
