Silk shirts

Who knew a chocolate advert could speak so much truth? “Why have cotton when you can have silk?” Thank for that insight into our wardrobes, Galaxy. And why indeed? Here are Earth Wit and Style’s reasons why every woman should own at least one silk shirt:

1. They feel great against your skin in a way that polyester never will. Take a leaf out of Othello’s book and enjoy that “smooth as monumental alabaster” feeling.

2.  Silk skims, it never clings. Talk about flattering. And a godsend.

3.  Silk is pure luxury. And lord knows we all love a bit of that.

Silk should be hand washed or dry cleaned, never tumble dried and always ironed on the inside to maintain its natural sheen. Okay, a silk shirt may take a bit of extra care (just like the hamster you wish you’d never agreed to) and aren’t exactly child friendly but they are the answer to a night out with the girls and a last minute work engagement

Depending on where you purchase your shirt from the quality will vary. If you are viewing this as a real investment piece (read: hiding the receipt) then head for Equipment. Down the scale we have Pure Collection Washed Silk Shirt which fits the most generous of busts no problem. And Stella has turned out some fabulous silk blouses in recent times, minus the collar but made up for in the awesome patterned details.
Wear with jeans and heels for a night out and tucked into a pencil skirt for work.
