Or Shehnaz Hussain in tiger printed maxi/gown/kaftan amalgamation. Or, worse like Jayalalitha in her 1980's style matching capes and sarees in fabrics like shamo satin.
A kaftan just can't look elegant. The era of Zeenat Aman in kaftans also had Zareena Wahab and Jayshree T in kaftans. Have we forgotten them? And even if you are a trifle overweight and presume that a Kaftan's multiple folds will hide those multiple folds of flesh, think again!

Farragamo's yogi chic for the summer is only for the ramps!
