The best silk shirts to buy now

Elegant blouses to update your wardrobe.

By

There's something just so luxurious about a silk shirt. It's elegant, soft, flattering, warm and long-lasting and that's why investing in one can prove a valuable wardrobe purchase. Easy to slip on and so comfortable to wear, a silk shirt will also add some much-needed polish to all your basics and can be styled in countless ways for a whole range of occasions.

For the office, you can pair a classic cream or black silk shirt with a suit for important meetings or pair with a pencil skirt, tights, blazer and your go-to ankle boots. For date night, you can wear a pretty patterned version with leather trousers or your go-to tailored trousers and for days when you want to look put-together but not too smart, you can wear under a day dress, with jeans or dungarees. A silk shirt will elevate any material, give tailoring a glamorous edge and give any of your existing pieces a new lease of life.

From soft feminine shades to bright colours and statement kaleidoscope prints, there are so many silk shirts to choose from on the high street right now. Boden has some beautiful prints while Sézane brings a little Boho vibe firmly into the new season. M&S and WNU offer workwear classics and Mint Velvet has multiple styles you can dress up or down.

Here, we have rounded up the best silk shirts available to shop now. We guarantee you'll find a reason to wear one year after year.
