The Complete Guide to Camilla Kaftans: From Beach to Dinner

Camilla is one of Australia's most beloved fashion exports — and their kaftans are in a category of their own. Whether you're heading to a beachside lunch, a sunset dinner, or a tropical resort, a Camilla kaftan takes you there in effortless style. Pinkhill has stocked Camilla since the brand's early days, and we've put together the definitive guide to wearing Camilla kaftans in Darwin and beyond.

What Makes Camilla Kaftans Special

Every Camilla piece begins with a hand-drawn print, developed in the brand's Sydney studio and influenced by global travel, art, and culture. The prints are then digitally rendered onto luxurious fabrics — silks, jerseys, and lightweight cottons — and often hand-beaded or embellished with signature Camilla adornments.

The result is a garment that feels like a work of art. And in Darwin, where colour and creativity are celebrated year-round, Camilla finds its natural home.

Styling Your Camilla Kaftan

Beach to lunch: Wear your Camilla silk kaftan over swimwear for an effortless beach-to-café transition. The lightweight silk construction dries quickly and looks stunning against Darwin's turquoise waters. Pair with simple gold sandals and oversized sunglasses.

Sunset cocktails: A Camilla maxi kaftan in a jewel-toned print is perfect for Darwin's famous sunset strip. The flowy silhouette moves beautifully in the sea breeze. Add statement earrings and a wedge heel to elevate the look.

Resort dining: For a more structured evening look, belt your Camilla kaftan at the waist to create an elegant column silhouette. Add heeled mules and a clutch.
