Wardrobe staples: the silk shirt

There are a few things that I buy on rotation and know they will earn their keep in my wardrobe. Today I'm wearing my ivory Massimo Dutti silk shirt which I've had for a while and it's just beginning to show the first signs of wear.

Before this incarnation I owned both a Uniqlo silk shirt and a H&M premium silk shirt, both great value for money and good, classic fit but unfortunately succumbed to the every day rigours. Uniqlo now only do a silk touch shirt, which is a Rayon and Polyester mix, great if it's an easy care option you're after, and at £24.90 you could treat yourself to a couple of colours, however you can't quite beat the feel of 100% silk.

H&M Premium still do a 100% mulberry silk shirt but currently not available in black!

Next on my shopping list is the perfect black silk shirt, inspired by this great shot of Anine Bing, Danish model turned designer. I do also love the bolder Parrot design silk shirt from her recent collection but I always veer towards a more classic look! See more of my silk shirt pins here.

Billie Blouse Parrots €179

& Other Stories Straight Fit Silk shirt £69

I think I might purchase this Straight fit silk shirt from & Other Stories, another great value shirt, for £69, but if you don't mind spending a bit more on this wardrobe staple then I can recommend the Winser Tilda silk shirt. With a signature stretch silk, made from 95% silk and 5% elastane, it will take the strain of every day wear in it's stride and if that's not enough of a reason to buy its also been worn by Holly Willoughby on ITV's 'This Morning'!
