If there was ever a more versatile fashion item than a caftan, we’d like to see it. There are few closet staples that are perfect poolside as they are for more dressed-up occasions, too. Alone, with a bikini, over jeans, with your go-to wide-leg summer linen, a tunic or caftan does double, triple duty, all without a second thought. Plus, there are a slew of different takes on the standard silhouette, too. There are more fitted and tailored options — they’re a little dressier — and then there are flowing, free-spirited finds that’ll give a more laid-back air. Whichever you choose, know that you’ll be reaching for it all season long, so maybe pick up one or two.
