Blue Kaftan for Women: Plus Size Blue Caftan Dresses and How to Style Them
A blue kaftan is one of the easiest pieces to wear: navy looks polished for dinner, sky blue feels fresh on the beach, and teal and turquoise flatter almost every skin tone. Here's our guide to the blue kaftan for women, from blue satin kaftans to blue paisley and tropical prints, plus how to style each shade. Every Gypsie Blu plus size kaftan in this post is made in one size that fits 1X-3X.
Blue satin kaftans
A solid satin kaftan is the dressiest choice. Our solid satin kaftans have a V-neck, 3/4 kimono sleeves, a drawstring and a 52-inch length.
- Navy: the navy blue satin kaftan is a softer alternative to black for evenings and holidays.
- Teal: the teal satin kaftan is a rich jewel tone for parties and weddings.
- Pastel blue: the pastel blue satin kaftan is light and pretty for spring, showers and garden parties.
For special occasions, the corsair blue embroidered satin kaftan adds embroidery to a deep blue satin. See all embroidered kaftans. Our silk vs satin kaftan guide explains why we use satin.
Blue paisley kaftans
Looking for a blue paisley dress? A paisley kaftan gives you the print in a loose, easy shape. The sky blue paisley damask kaftan has a V-neck and 3/4 kimono sleeves, and the blue dashiki paisley kaftan has a round neckline and kimono sleeves. Both are 52 inches long. For a blue and gold look, try the turquoise gold paisley kaftan.
Blue tribal, shibori and geometric kaftans
Bold prints are easy to wear on their own with simple sandals. The blue dashiki medallion kaftan, the blue geometric tribal kaftan and the blue shibori kaftan are light polyester that you can machine wash and hang dry.
Blue tropical kaftans and beach cover-ups
For vacations, the navy tropical bird kaftan works as a beach cover-up by day and a dress for dinner. For a shorter cover-up, try the white toucan print cover-up, or browse all beach cover-ups. Planning a trip? Read what to wear in Hawaii.

The light sky blue lurex kaftan is rayon with shimmering lurex stripes, a V-neck, 3/4 kimono sleeves and a 52-inch length. It also comes in 8 other colours, including turquoise, black with gold and white with gold, so it's a good pick for holiday parties.
