In real heat the answer is almost always the same: something loose, something light, and nothing tight at the waist.
What to look for
- Summer cotton — breathable, washes easily, the everyday choice
- Crushed cotton — light with a soft texture, needs almost no ironing
- Chiffon — featherweight and fluid; sheer, so wear it with a slip
- Free size short kaftans — the least effort of all
Why loose beats fitted
A kaftan works in heat because air moves through it. Anything close to the body traps heat against the skin; a straight, loose cut does the opposite. That is the whole reason the shape exists.
Wearing it
Short kaftans over cotton trousers or on their own as a tunic. Long kaftans on their own, or belted loosely if you want some shape. Flat sandals, and that is the outfit.
