*Modern look for the caftan
The caftan and Abbasia still exist, no matter how long ago, for two reasons. The first is that it is from the heritage of the Arab region and its civilization that stick to it.

Secondly, the credit goes to Arab designers like Meriem, who exert great effort to develop the caftan and make it very contemporary.
The designer also gives ideas in the style of wearing caftan in order to be very elegant, saying that caftans are more suitable for occasions; hence, women can wear them with high heels and big earrings.
Kimonos can be worn casually with baskets or sandals or for nights on occasions with high heels.
