Silk Spotlight

Silk, one of the most coveted fabrics this season, just so happens to be on sale right now at Fashion Fabrics Club Online—over 1,000 silk fabrics, in fact. Here are just a few fun ways to incorporate the slinky material into your summer rotation.

The Tank

Silk is no longer reserved for nighttime and special occasion wear—its new look is all about the casual-cool daytime. Try a silk tank with a fun lacey trim embellishment with a favorite pair of denim.

The Trousers

Take a lesson from the style crowd and try silk in a pair of wide-leg trousers. It’s a modern alternative to the maxi skirt (and just as comfy, if not more so) and is totally formal-occasion appropriate with the right pairing.

The Shorts

A super unexpected (yet totally on-trend) way to wear silk is to incorporate it into a sporty piece. If you’re looking for something that could be dressed up or down, try a pair of elastic-waist silk shorts. With a T-shirt it’s an easy luxe leisure look, but paired with more elevated pieces like a blazer and heels, it easily goes to a more sophisticated place.

The Trench

While it may not be completely functional, a silk trench is totally chic—not to be worn in the rain, mind you, but it offers such an easy way to transform easy outfits into full-on looks. Added bonus: it’s light enough to wear in the depths of summer.

The Wrap Dress

When it comes to silk dresses, the mind immediately goes to the ever-popular slip dress. And while this is an obvious—and perfect—pick, a wrap dress is less expected and much more appropriate for more sophisticated soirees.
