I've looked for breezy summer kaftans every year since my eldest son was born. Being people of the extremely fair-skinned variety, it becomes a challenge to cover up yet stay cool during Sydney's sweltering summers. Obviously I wasn't looking in the right place! Smirk have just taken delivery of these beautiful kaftans in fabrics to die for. Cherry blossoms in red and pink and the green geometric floral are my favourites - I have a friend who loves anything cherry-themed and I'll be sure to pass this one on to her for her daughter.

I'm wondering which fabric design I could get away with for my boys. I think the apple green would be delightful on a little boy and I'd love this one for my sons to wear on Christmas day. What a sight they would make in matching apple green kaftans! Light and comfy, with plenty of room for play, these are ideal for those long hot days enjoying the weather, while protecting sensitive skin. They are 100% cotton and above knee length, making them great for the beach, or for dressing up with leggings or pants.

The kaftans are available in sizes 0 to 8, except the blue which goes up to a size 4. The detailed prints are $59.95 and the plainer prints are $39.95 plus post, from Smirk.
