Takchita

Takchita, if that name doesn't ring a bell, you've certainly come across one before! This sublime quality piece is obviously similar to a caftan.But with a few different details. We'll tell you more in a few lines. Here's a closer look at a product which, thanks to its style and elegance, is a real hit with women.

Its origins

Visually speaking, the Takchita is not very far removed from its cousin the caftan. And with good reason: it's clearlya Moroccan version of the famous caftan. In fact, the Takchita is a version revisited by Moroccan designers. It has a more popular and contemporary style. But what exactly is the difference between these two outfits?

The difference between the Takchita and the Caftan

Well, the difference lies essentially in the overall composition of the outfit. The Takchita is traditionallymade up of two pieces. Firstly, the famous caftan, also known as the tahtiya. But also a fouqia, or dfina, which is nothing more than an open caftan that is, in many cases, transparent. For your information, you will also find the term mansouria to designate the fouqia and dfina.

And for the record, it is said that it was Sultan Ahmed al-Mansour who introduced the fashion for a transparent tunic over the caftan. The Takchita is also usually worn with a Mdamma. This is a belt, which can be made of silk, gold or silver. It can also be embellished with precious stones such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires or emeralds. The Caftan, on the other hand, consists of a single piece, initially without a belt. But this can be added. Let's take a look at the different Takchita models on offer.

The Takchita models

Although the Takchita is a traditional garment, it is nonetheless innovative and completely contemporary. The Takchita has evolved. It comes in a variety of styles. First of all, there's the model we've been talking about: 2-piece with belt. It's worth noting in passing that the latest trend is for wide belts with laces. But there's also a slim-fit model without a belt. And you can also opt for a 3-piece model that includes a sarouel. But which one to choose is always the big question. Here's some advice to help you decide.

Choosing your Takchita

Your choice of Takchita will depend first and foremost on the occasion. Butyour body type and build should also be taken into account. If you have a fairly slim figure, a straight cut will be perfect. A high cut, on the other hand, will conceal any curves that may be in the way. Similarly, if your thighs and hips are a little fuller, pleated or princess-style dresses will be your allies. Finally, if you're one of those women with a complex bust, models with rhinestones and lace will turn you into a serene woman who's just as beautiful.
