That awkward period between the seasons can be a difficult time for our wardrobes… It could be pouring with rain one moment and beaming sunshine the next, so knowing what to wear for all day comfort comes as quite the challenge. We might just have the solution to this ever-lasting problem, and that is silk clothing, for its temperature regulating properties which keep you comfortable in a multitude of seasons.
The importance of investing in transitional clothing
Having transitional pieces in your wardrobe is the key to being able to dress for all of the seasons in one day. Light pieces that still offer warmth and comfort when there is a chill in the air should be your top choice when shopping for this in-between period. It is also great to invest in clothing that can be layered in the winter months so you can get your wear out of the clothes in your wardrobe.
The natural temperature regulating properties of silk
Silk clothing should be a wardrobe staple for these transitional periods between spring and summer, autumn and winter. Silk is a natural fabric which has temperature regulating properties, keeping you at a comfortable body temperature all day long. That means if it’s a cloudy day with a chill in the air and the sun decides to make an unexpected appearance, you’ll remain at a comfy temperature and won’t be feeling hot and bothered, questioning your clothing choices. It works the same way with keeping you warm in the event of an unexpected overcast or downpour.
No other clothing materials can offer as much guarantee as silk can when it comes to being comfortable throughout the day. It’s easy to get swept up in the autumnal cosiness and opt for a nice warm jumper when you wake on a morning and see the dark and drizzle from your window, but you’ll soon regret your choice when the afternoon sun comes out and all the doom and gloom from the morning has disappeared.
The remaining benefits of silk clothing
Silk clothing is worth the investment for its transitional versatility alone, however, it would be rude of us not to highlight the other incredible benefits silk clothing can offer. Not only is silk fabric temperature regulating but it is also naturally hypoallergenic, making it super gentle and kind to the skin. The lightweight, breathability of the silk combined with its hypoallergenic qualities ensures complete and total comfort all day long. Those who suffer with skin irritation or itchiness will enjoy a welcome reprieve by choosing silk clothing to wrap up warm in without the irritation of claustrophobic, non-breathable materials that many are drawn to when the weather turns colder.
All of the silk clothing we offer here at Jasmine Silk is Oeko-Tex Certified, meaning that it has been tested for over 1000 harmful toxins and has been proven free of hazardous products. Toxins within clothing can cause further irritation and can be harmful to your health, making the Oeko-Tex label an important quality when it comes to investing high quality pieces for your wardrobe.

Our range of thermals are lightweight, breathable and moisture-wicking, meaning they can keep you warm and toasty without feeling suffocated or hot and bothered.
Silk blouses
A silk blouse is a versatile piece for any time of year thanks to the many ways it can be worn or styled, giving it that day into night appeal. Another reason for its high position as a transitional wardrobe staple is its layering capabilities that open up so much potential for dressing fashionable between seasons.
Silk blouses can be worn buttoned up alone with trousers by day and a skirt by night, or can be worn open as an overshirt on a warmer day to keep the unexpected chill off your arms. Like all silk pieces, a silk blouse is exceptionally kind to the skin and offers all-day style and comfort.
Turtleneck tops
At Jasmine Silk, we offer a wide range of silk turtlenecks, and silk and wool blend turtlenecks, so you can choose the perfect one to suit you. The ultimate layering piece, a turtleneck offers so much versatility and can be worn during that awkward time of year when it is that little bit too cold for short sleeves but too warm for a coat or jacket.
When the weather does turn colder, turtlenecks will remain a top choice in your wardrobe thanks to their layering capabilities. Wear yours as a simple base layer between your regular clothing, beneath a camisole dress or pinafore, or even layer with a warmer gilet when the weather has a significant chill.
