Compare the Kaftano Kimono and Kaftano with Drawstring to find your perfect beach cover-up. We break down the fit, fabric, and style differences to help you decide.
Quick answer
Choose the Kaftano Kimono for a loose, breezy layer with a tropical print, or the Kaftano with Drawstring for a more defined silhouette with an adjustable waist.
Silhouette and fit: relaxed vs adjustable
The Kaftano Kimono features a classic kimono cut that drapes freely from the shoulders, offering an airy, oversized feel. It's ideal for slipping on over a swimsuit without any fuss.
The Kaftano with Drawstring uses a tie under the bust to create shape, letting you cinch the waist for a more tailored look. This makes it a better choice if you want to define your waistline while still enjoying a flowing hem.
Fabric and feel: both in 100% viscose
Both styles are made from 100% viscose, a natural fiber that feels lightweight and breathable against the skin. The fabric helps you stay cool on hot days and dries quickly after a swim.
The main difference is visual: the Kimono version comes in a vibrant tropical leaf print that adds a pop of color, while the Drawstring version is available in a neutral sand tone that pairs easily with any swimsuit.
