Caftans!

Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

I was on line looking at images of tie dye caftans, and I was thinking that this is an early phase of making caftans our own. Actually the earliest phase may have neglecting the trousers. And what do we use caftans for? Lounge wear.

I was wondering about the dearth of lounge wear. Even for women. Then it occurred to me that for centuries women wore long dresses as their typical clothing. Of course, men have long been subject to Trousers Tyrrany.

There are plenty of shops who sell caftans for men and other long simple t shirt dresses like this one. It is from Hijab house in Australia. Very comfortable
