The Michele Caftan and The Catie Caftan in Black

Comfort-forward fashion is defining the season. At La Peony Clothing, we believe that elegance and ease should go hand in hand, and no piece captures that better than one of our caftans

This fall, we’re spotlighting two distinct takes on timeless ease: the Michele Caftan, crafted from Italian recycled cotton cashmere, and the brand-new Catie Caftan, our new icon of relaxed sophistication. Made from soft Tencel Modal Fleece and available in Cream, Black, or Coastal Gray, the Catie blends elevated comfort with everyday elegance. This is our coziest Caftan yet.

Whether you’re petite or tall, lounging or on the go, these caftan dresses offer effortless refinement with versatility that carries you through fall. Here’s how to style them for every moment ahead.

1. Everyday Ease

Melony talking about Michele Caftan

A great caftan brings instant polish to even the most casual moments. For lounging, errands, or time spent at home, the Michele Caftan is a natural choice. Its breathable feel and side slits keep you cool, while the fluid shape complements women at any age.

La Peony Clothing Founder Melony Huber shares, “We wanted something a woman could just throw on and feel good in. You can wear it to the grocery store or around the house, but also to lunch with friends or out on a date night.”

Caftan Look

Pair it with simple sneakers or boots, subtle gold hoops, and your favorite tote. Let the caftan dress do the rest of the work for you.

 2. Polished for Work

A caftan can absolutely work in a professional setting, especially when styled with intention. The Catie Caftan offers a more structured feel due to its removable waist belt, which flatters the figure, and ¾-length sleeves that feel polished and put-together.

Pair it with some dainty pieces (e.g., diamond necklaces, stackable bracelets) for an office-ready look that blends comfort with quiet professionalism. For petite frames, try cinching the belt slightly higher to elongate the silhouette and create a tailored shape that balances ease with intention.

This is the kind of luxury design wear that effortlessly bridges style and purpose.

3. Layered for Cooler Weather

As the air turns crisp, your caftan doesn’t need to retire. It just needs a few more thoughtful layers. 

Over the Michele Caftan, try a sweater or structured jacket, like the Teresa Lambskin Trench, to balance its flowing shape. Its lightweight fabric layers easily under coats, while the side slits allow for graceful motion even with extra layers.

For the Catie Caftan, tall boots and a long coat add instant structure on brisk days. The ultra-soft Tencel fleece offers gentle warmth, while the defined silhouette layers smoothly without bulk. LPC’s newest Genevieve Long Coat, launching soon, also brings soft structure and elevated warmth to any fall look.

These are the layered clothing styles that don’t sacrifice comfort or elegance, making them essential in your fall clothing lineup.

4. Evening Chic

The right caftan dress doesn’t need embellishment to feel special. It’s all about the fabric and how you style it. 

With its soft drape and sculpted silhouette, the Catie Caftan offers an elegant base for dressing up your way. Go bold in black with a statement lip, or soften the look with delicate gold accents in cream or Coastal Gray.

Add a belt for a defined waist, or let it flow. However you choose to wear it, the Catie Caftan brings effortless luxury to your fall evenings.

5. Weekend Brunch

For weekend brunches, casual gatherings, or strolls through the farmer’s market, reach for an outfit that feels equal parts relaxed and refined.

The Michele shines here: light enough for midday sun, easy to layer, and thoughtfully designed to drape with ease. Its breathable fabric and side slits add graceful flow as you move through your day.

Style it with ankle boots, oversized sunglasses, and a textured tote for an autumn-ready look that feels effortless but put-together. Whether you’re grabbing coffee or savoring a slow morning, this is fall dressing at its most comfortable and composed.
