10 Chic Caftans to Live in While Beating the Dallas Summer Heat

Whether you wear it to a festival in flats or to happy hour in heels, the side slits will keep you cool as a cucumber.

We aren’t sure what we love more about this breezy print, the paisley or the gorgeous blue hue. Either way, we do know that we plan to wear this on repeat.

Kate Landry ($68)

Cut from crisp, airy cotton, this subtly striped option is quintessential summertime chic. Throw it on over your swimsuit or pair it with pants off the beach.

Beach bums, take note: This one-size-fits-most number is a must-pack for your next getaway. The dropped armholes are not only super flattering, they make pit stains a nonissue.

We’re getting major Greek goddess vibes from this dress, which comes in an uber-flattering shade of desert rose. The tassel trim is just the festive icing on the cake.

Fashion meets art in this bohemian beauty. We don’t know whether to wear it, frame it or hire a model to take it for a stroll down a catwalk in Palm Beach.

It’s as if this silky number came straight from the closet of Patricia on Southern Charm. It’s just calling you to complement it with a low bun and an ice-cold martini.

Just down the highway in Fort Worth, this designer is pumping out colorful caftans to keep Texans cool and collected regardless of the occasion. We’re drawn to her fun prints in a range of hues.

Sheridan French ($225)

You already have mid-century modern accents all over your house, so why not in your closet too? This optical-illusion print and gathered shoulders are just retro enough.

If you’re looking to splurge, this handmade mini caftan feels chic and sophisticated while simultaneously keeping you cool. Bonus: It’s made by a Dallas-based designer.
