It is no secret that silk is the ultimate wardrobe staple for that elegant yet comfortable look. Whether it’s the annual Christmas party, Christmas shopping attire or a cosy night in, we’re here to help you incorporate some silk staples into your winter wardrobe just in time for the festivities.
Many picture stunning silk gowns and jaw dropping dresses when thinking of silk attire, but what if we told you there’s so much more to it? You can incorporate silk throughout your winter wardrobe no matter what the occasion. Not only does silk have a great reputation in the fashion department, it’s also a very practical material to have as part of your staples collection. Silk clothing is incredibly comfortable and versatile, and when looked after properly it will last for years to come. Read on for a range of silk must-haves and how you can style them this Christmas.
The versatile piece
Without a doubt, the most versatile silk clothing you could invest in is a button down blouse – a timeless classic for any silk lover. A simple blouse can form the basis for a range of outfits depending on the occasion. Heading out for the evening? Pair your silk shirt with a statement skirt, some tailored trousers and a beautiful blazer to compliment the outfit. If you’re going for a more casual look, make your shirt the main event and pair with your favourite pair of jeans for that effortless yet super stylish look.
Layer it up
Winter layers are a huge fashion statement, perfect for days when you have a lot to do! It’s important to stay comfy throughout a busy day and that includes having control over your body temperature. Luckily, silk naturally helps to regulate body temperature to keep you comfy, but that doesn’t mean you won’t need to be savvy about your style.
A perfect silk layering staple is definitely a silk wool top. High neck jumpers of other materials are notorious for looking stylish and warm but lacking practicality when you’re indoors for a long while. Luckily, we have the solution and you guessed it – it’s silk! Pair your silk wool jumper with a light underlayer, whether that be a simple t-shirt or your favourite long length dress. This will keep the chill off your arms when you’re out but also save you from being too hot indoors. You can also use your silk wool top as an underlayer and add a statement slip dress over the top if you’re feeling super stylish. Don’t forget to pack a jacket for additional layers if it’s extra chilly outside – the more layers the better!
‘Tis the season for turtle necks
You didn’t think we’d write a piece on winter wardrobe staples and leave out a turtleneck did you? A silk turtleneck top is another cold outside classic and can be paired with absolutely anything. Skirt and tights? Turtle neck. Your favourite jeans? Turtle neck. Tailored trousers and a blazer? Turtle neck. A comfy slip? You know the answer…
Comfy and cosy
If all you plan on doing this festive season is curling up inside with a comforting cup of mulled wine, we’ve got your outfit covered. Invest in a simple, incredibly comfortable silk cotton shirt. Pair with your comfiest pair of lounge trousers or with some jeans if you’re having some friends over to join in on the at-home festivities.
