On / 0 comments

Looking for the perfect outfit to wear as a wedding guest? A kaftan is the ideal choice — elegant, modest, comfortable enough for a long celebration, and festive without competing with the bride. Below are ten of our best-selling wedding guest kaftans, handcrafted with traditional Sfifa embroidery and available in US sizes 0–20. (You'll notice none are white or ivory — those belong to the bride.) For full etiquette, see our guide to what to wear to a Moroccan or Arab wedding.

1. Miral Black & Gold — Best Overall for an Evening Wedding

How to Choose Your Wedding Guest Kaftan

Match the fabric to the setting — lighter chiffon and crepe for daytime, satin and sequin for evening — and pick a color that's festive but never white or ivory. Add a belt to define the waist, one statement accessory, and comfortable heels for a celebration that runs late.
