Four Moroccan Fashions To Inspire Your Style
With Great Britain presently playing host to the World Cup Finals, you may have seen foreign visitors strolling our streets, and many Moroccans among them, set apart by their style of dress. Is there a chance the kaftan will catch on? Below are four fashion ideas that may inspire you!

Embellished Robes. Whilst the Moroccan kaftan is not unlike a simple robe, it can be made in an array of materials and at their lightest linens, the Moroccans are set for any weather! Whilst the woman who suffers in the summer heat could benefit from this, the most enviable aspect of this fashion is the handmade embroidery, beading and intricate patterning that almost puts the best Lytton dresses to shame with their eye for detail! If you have dresses or robes in a plainer shape, make the most of them by adding some glamour to their necks and hems.

Belts. The kaftan may be everyday wear, but the height of Moroccan feminine elegance is the two-piece takchita, which nevertheless strikes a more modest figure than some bare-armed ballgowns. Have you always considered robes a dull, frumpy option for middle-aged or working witches, compared to the shapely figure of muggle corsetry? Well, perhaps the answer is a Moroccan-style belt to pull in your robes and give yourself a waist to envy. They can be as little as a thin beaded band or as much as a thick gold-plated panel, accentuating your figure as well as catching the eye with a jewelled centrepiece. Will we be seeing more robes next season?

Headwear and jewellery. In this case, the Moroccan style may be more is more - we have seen wealthy women walking around practically laden with Victoria's crown jewels on her brow! - but this may be the year for a little boldness. The Moroccan have no shame when it comes to colour, even in gems: but you can make a more restrained alteration by sticking to gold or silver and instead choosing a dramatic shape or one colourful feature.

Homewear. Some Moroccan culture is hardly likely to catch on on our shores, such as traditional heelless slippers or most menswear - however! They are perfectly adaptable to add comfort and style in your own home: if you have aching feet after a night of dancing, why not buy a pair of leather balgha - they will mould beautifully to your feet and are more prettily-stitched than a pair of tartan slippers! And for the gentleman in your life, why not use a Moroccan pattern or colour for his smoking coat or dressing gown? You could even sew him an Arab-inspired smoking cap for his birthday!

Why stop at one necklace when you might have five?

A belt can do wonders for a flowing robe!

Rose-cut and diamond-inset gold earrings have a striking shape!
