Wardrobe Staple no 19 of 33: The Silk Shirt

Adding a silk shirt to any look makes it 1000 times chicer automatically. The classic French cool girl style is the silk shirt paired with a great jeans and some loafers. I fell in love with the silk shirt when I was working with Phoebe Philo at Chloe. She often had some gorgeous color or printed silk shirt in the collection and I couldn’t believe the versatility of this kind of shirt. The silk shirt also creates a feminine sexiness to an otherwise masculine silhouette. It looks great left open exposing a pretty bra. Or completely closed giving the ultimate Lady Boss vibe.

Everlane has the most affordable option of silk shirt. I own their silk shirt in two colors, I love it so much! Far Fetch has great options from a range of designers in both solids and prints, long and short sleeved. Net-a-Porter carries a good variety as well, from Theory at a decent price up to Valentino at the high end! Silk Laundry wins again with a great variety of Silk Shirts in prints, colors and textures. I love their relaxed boyfriend cut shirt. Nili Lotan’s silk shirts range from a chic brown to prints and classic French ruffles. I love Figaret’s classic striped silk options as well. When buying a silk shirt, I think it’s worth the investment to buy 100% silk from a quality brand, I would stay away from any of the discount, fashion fashion variations in this particular category.
