Ask the SB: Caftans

Q: What’s your position on caftans? I just found a gorgeous vintage number and I wonder if I could pull it off without feeling like Bea Arthur.

–Many thanks, Lyn

Dearest Lyn,

I love caftans. But then again, I also love Bea Arthur, so you decide if I’m to be trusted.

I think a caftan is the perfect uniform for eating olives, throwing the stale bread from yesterday’s three hour lunch to the fancy chickens, smoking out of hookahs and generally swanning around in the summer time.

So chic. I say go for it.

Much love,

SB
