Karisma Kapoor serves bohemian beachwear inspiration in a printed hand-draped kaftan dress

Karisma Kapoor’s style is a lesson in “how not to try too hard”, especially when it comes to beachwear. She clearly enjoys spending time by the ocean and is often serving up delicious resort wear looks. Earlier, we had witnessed her in an all-black beach outfit, perfect for those with a penchant for dark neutrals. Her recent pick? A printed hand-draped kaftan dress from Verandah, a conscious luxury brand founded by Anjali Patel Mehta.

Inspired by the laid-back Goan susegaad life, Kapoor’s kaftan, from Verandah’s Parra collection, features diaphanous motifs around the borders, alluding to the azulejos tiles found across colonial Portuguese houses in the state. Wearing her hair in a sleek bun and keeping her makeup clean, Karisma Kapoor proved that beach style can be both chic and comfortable. She stayed true to the monochromatic feel of the look, adding a statement only with a stack of zebra-printed resin cuffs.

As seen on international runways, such as Saint-Laurent and Chloé’s coveted spring summer ’25 shows, stacking cuffs set against bohemian, billowing silhouettes seems to be the next big trend. Case in point, Tripti Dimri‘s stack with an ivory Iqbal Hussain lehenga, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s more disco-esque rendition of the trend, or Sobhita Dhulipala‘s sequinned version paired with archival Sabyasachi – bohemian, easy-going offerings that stray away from overdone minimalism.
