Why should you swap out your regular polyester shirt for a luxurious silk blouse in your work wardrobe? Well, way back when, silk was Ancient China’s best-kept secret, but fast forward to today, it has become a timeless staple in fashion with so many beauty benefits. It has magical properties, so no matter what your office thermostat is set at, you will be kept cool when it’s sweltering or warm and cosy when it’s chilly – a perfect balance!
So, whether you’re conquering meetings or going out for a lovely dinner after a long day at work, you can be dressed for any occasion.
Here are some stylish ways to style your silk blouse for the workday (and your plans afterwards!):
Classic Pairing with Trousers
Tuck your luxurious silk blouse into a pair of tailored trousers for a classic professional look. Or you can opt for extra comfort with wide-leg pants, and elevate your style with a sleek, thin belt. For the more casual office vibe, or a casual dinner after work, pair your silk blouse with jeans for a classy yet effortless look.
Pencil Skirt Elegance
Enhance your classic femininity with the versatility of skirts with your silk blouse. A high-waisted pencil skirt is a classic professional look, and with your silk blouse, this ensemble will make you feel as elegant as you look. For a more relaxed yet refined appearance, try adding an A-line or wrap skirt! Experiment with different lengths and styles to find your perfect balance between comfort and elegance.
Layer It Up!
A tailored blazer can complement the colour and style of your silk blouse or under a cardigan or jumper! Choose from classic options like black, navy, or grey work well for a professional look, while bolder hues or patterns can add a touch of personality.
Or, during those brisk colder months, you can layer your blouse over a turtleneck top. This will add a little dimension to your look whilst keeping you warm during those winter months. If you want to be bold you could experiment with contrasting colours for a unique twist!
Monochromatic Ensemble
To create a monochromatic ensemble, start by choosing a silk blouse in a single colour then match your silk blouse with bottoms in the same colour to create a cohesive and polished look. This could be a pair of tailored trousers, a pencil skirt, or even silk pants for a sophisticated look.
To accessorise your look, keep them in the same colour palette as your outfit to maintain the monochromatic look or make a bold statement with bright colours against darker tones.
As you navigate through the demands of your workday, let the benefits of the luxurious touch of silk provide you with comfort and elegance. From classic pairings of tailored trousers to the elegance of pencil skirts, the styling possibilities with silk effortlessly transitions from desk to dinner.
