Let's be real for a minute and commit that this year, Diwali (the realest of 'em all in our festive calendar) is not happening on a cool winter (or pre-winter) night. Which means, most of us have no option but to drop the visuals of wearing velvets and maybe even crazy heavy embroideries to not turn into a heated candy goli, dolled up in a fitted wrapper. For a festive season filled with comfort and Instagram-worthy looks during somewhat hot days, upgrade your wardrobe with breezy kaftans! Kaftans are just what you need in the sweltering heat when you wanna dress comfy and still look fabulous. So, to help you save time scrolling on shopping websites, we curated a list of kaftans you can buy this summer for under for all your day-to-night festive and wedding season shenanigans.

Basanti Kapde Aur Koffee Green Georgette Kaftan


Wishlist this kaftan for your friend's summer destination wedding or a Diwali party. The georgette fabric makes this a great pick for festivities during the hot summer days when you want to exude the 'put-together' vibes but want to wear something light to beat the heat. The green leaf print paired with the handkerchief hemline, and an attached belt boasting pipe work and coin detailing adds an extra oomph making this the perfect mehendi outfit for a wedding guest.
MANDIRA WIRK Multi-Colour Kaftan


The simplicity of this kaftan has my heart. The alluring patchwork print on white mulmul looks absolutely absolutely stunning for a sundowner. This is the perfect outfit for your next not so formal wedding outing where you wish to lounge freely. Thumbs up to the super soft mulmul which makes this breezy kaftan even more humidity-friendly.
Indya Navy Blue Boota Belted Kaftan


Another kaftan for wedding festivities and Diwali parties. The dainty inversely shaped palm print gives this kaftan an overall delicate look balancing the dark navy blue contrast well. You can dress up or dress down this kaftan dress according to the occasion with the right accessories; style it with long earrings to increase the ethnic quotient or pair it with a pair of sunglasses to give it a casual feel. It would make for the perfect welcome lunch or bridesmaid off-duty outfit.
RISHI & VIBHUTI Midnight Blue Kaftan


This chic kaftan from Rishi & Vibhuti is going to be a favourite among minimalists. The midnight blue colour in soft modal with the salmon peach bordering on the inside gives it a modern touch while the asymmetrical flared hemline gives it the breezy factor we associate with kaftans. Add a pair of kundan earrings to your look if you wish to desi-fy it a bit more or keep things sleep with pearl studs and a topknot for the hair.
Pasha India Sage Green Saree Style Kaftan


This floral kaftan is for serial shaadi attenders looking for comfortable yet statement pieces to add to their closet for the lighter functions like mehendi and haldi. The V-neck lends it that causal feel and the pallu drape is an interesting detail that gives it a little edge. With crochet earrings and a raffia bag, this will be the perfect lowkey beach wedding fit for a baraati.
Twenty Nine Beige Tissue Kaftan


For those of you missing the taam-jham, we have this beautifully embroidered kaftan right under 20K in this beautiful rustic beige. The mirror work is what turns heads with the somber colour. Crafted from tissue, this one definitely gives you all the festive feels. The tie ups in the front give it the feel of a cape. Team this up with a pair of palazzos in a matching hue to complete the look.
Paulmi & Harsh Rani Georgette Butti Printed Kaftan


This kaftan from Paulmi & Harsh has been on our radar for quite some time. Reason being it's sultry silhouette with the side slits and the puffed sleeves coupled with the belt at the waist to cinch you. If you feel the traditional kaftan style makes you look boxy, consider a more girly style like this one. The cute butta print on the lovely pink feels quite refreshing for a fun ethnic outing.
Soup by Sougat Paul Pink Kaftan


There's something very cottage core about this powder pink kaftan from Soup by Sougat Paul. Pin it on the soothing colour or the neck tie up or the not so loud print. Additionally, the ruffled edging gives a bit more softness. Made from chiffon, this kaftan is great for Diwali dinner scenes or slightly casual taash shenanigans.
Sage Saga Blue Kaftan


The chantilly lace detailing on this kaftan is the showstopper. It looks elegant and nicely balances the business of the printed printed modal fabric. It's perfect for any fort weddings you will attending this season. Or, for a small gathering with the fam since the neck is modest. This kaftan also has adjustable concealed drawstrings on the waist for a custom fit which is fab!
Tussya By Shreya Anika Kaftan Dress


This ethnic kaftan dress is just the right amount of OTT for the festive season. With cosmic-inspired prints and intricate mirror work on multiple colours, this one is a conversation-starter that doesn't hold back. The gold border further amps it up. It's made from quality crepe so it will flow just right and not cling to the body. Definitely a statement piece that's cool but out there.
