I love wearing caftans

[realFedUp]

I bet men would too. Breezy, easy, cheap, dressed up and down, day and night.
Forget fashion, yay caftans!

1. Sounds good to me

Where do you buy yours?

4. Ross

One size section. Cotton in summer. Poly on winter. Thin or thicker.....lovely.

9. Vermont Country Store has some nice ones.

I love caftans, and theirs are mostly cotton.

2. I like wearing cargo pants

Easy, comfy and plenty of pockets to stow your things.

6. They do appear comfy and practical

Caftans need pockets.

3. I've got a couple of fashion things I wish would come into style.

I'd like to see men's shirts with keyhole necklines, and men's shirts with those half-height collars that go up maybe half an inch to an inch, are open at the front, and don't fold back down. I just don't see the point of full fold-over collars on polo type t-shirts that are never going to be worn with a tie.

5. Ok.

Love it.

13. They're called "mandarin collars"

The Army's current field uniform has one.

10. Didn't the French ban women from wearing them?

11. What's the difference between a caftan and a moomoo? If you know.

When I googled caftan, most of the roomy dresses were what my mother called moomoo dresses in the late 70s and early 80s

12. I think of mumus as having no shoulders, i.e., a sort of tube dress.

Also, loud fabrics.

15. My mother LOVED her mu-mus. She started wearing them after her first visit to

Hawaii in the late 50s. She went back several times as she learned the moves to hula dances. It used to embarrass me but now I think it was lots of fun...

14. Just like Exidor

16. I just can't get my head around men wearing dresses. It smacks of ancient religious stuff, like the

Pope and all that; it makes me think of the newly arrived African men wearing their kaftans and hard shoes and funny hats; it makes me think regressive and un-evolved.

And women wearing them, well, I suppose it means they couldn't find anything else to wear. No disrespect intended to either gender. Just my take on it.

17. Uh huh. nt
