How to Wear It: Silk Shirts for Every Occasion

January 21, 2014

Get out of the silk shirt rut and start seeing these pieces differently with the looks we’ve put together below. Jeans and high tops are the perfect way to add some casual-edge to the preppiest silk bow blouse. Add leather and you’ve got serious model-off-duty style. Consider pairing your neutral top with an eye-popping print mini skirt. Pair it with flats to keep it low key or heels for a night out. If you’ve got one in a gorgeous jewel tone, add texture and unexpected pieces in black to make it the standout it was meant to be. Get creative and happy silk shirt styling!
