Abayas are timelessly elegant in black, but modern modesty-wear offers a wide range of colors and fabrics you can experiment with. Choose beige tones this season for your kaftans, kimonos and abayas, and pair them with footwear in a nude tone. This season was all about the power shoulder, so opt for the trend to add structure to your outfit. You can also opt for bold, primary hues such as green, yellow and blue to up your glam quotient.

This season, make sure your sartorial choices boast fringe elements that have been dominating the runway. Try incorporating them into the sleeves or the bottom of your kaftan or abaya. To spruce up your overall look, a fringe bag or clutch is an absolute must.

Kaftans in crochet, patchwork and with knitted long capes in soft, pastel hues are at once fashion-forward and fabulous. Start hunting now and look out for bohemian summer cover-ups and cotton kaftans reimagined in silk. PS: Layer the look with accessories. Think multiple chains, bangles, wrap-around footwear, suede and toned-down cowboy boots for the perfect summertime freshness.
