Every woman should own at least one or two silk blouses. They are in my opinion dressy tops that will add some glam in your wardrobe.
Because with these gorgeous babies you can achieve a stylish luxe look without the stiff price!
So if you want to expand your wardrobe without losing its style, consider silk shirts as an option. They look
great with just about anything. From jeans, skirts, dress pants to shorts -- there are several ways to turn them into chic outfits.
Have you ever imagined how silk pieces are made? Two words. Silk. Worms. Small creatures who work their magic when creating cocoons.
But it doesn't stop there. The silk goes into a process called softening. Since silk strands are too thin,
the makers put each strand together so it can be used.
How to Select the Perfect Silk Blouse
 Pick versatile colors
For your convenience, you can never go wrong with silk blouses in solid neutral colors like black, white/ivory and dark brown.
They'll go with absolutely everything and you can easily create different looks with these colors. They look classy and sophisticated too.
 Tip: Pick a vivid color if you want to create a fashion statement or draw attention to your face and upper half.
The right fit
It makes sure it sits well on your shoulders, waist and arms. It's a very important step if you want to look chic and pulled together.

Choose a basic design/collar style
Go for collar style and other details that won't go out of style any time soon. In the long run, this will save you money and time.
Swap out the buttons
If you find the right silk blouse with buttons that don't strike your taste, you can easily replace them with nicer ones.
Tip: Want to look more polished and expensive? Swap them up with silver, gold or pearl buttons.
Take some risks
Silk blouses don't necessarily have to a luxurious thing. As I've mentioned earlier, you can find them in a wide array of styles and designs, from
prints, button, sleeve and collar styles. That said, if you love silk don't be afraid to place additional "fun" dressy tops in your wardrobe.
You can also combine them with trendy, casual pieces such as jeans, denim pencil skirt,
fashionable belt, statement necklace, oversized cocktail ring, and so on.

How to Take Care of Silk Shirts
One tip of warning when it comes to cleaning your silk blouses. Always read the label instructions.
Usually some silk pieces must be washed by hand but there are other that needs dry-cleaning.
Here's how you wash silk clothing by hand:
- Use warm water and a neutral soap. Soak the silk blouse for
around 20 minutes. You can soak for a longer time if the blouse is stained.
- Rinse the garment with some warm water. When squeezing out the excess water,
roll it between two towels. Remember never to wring out your silk blouse.
- Never dry your silk blouse in a dryer. Drying in a dryer will damage the cloth and
ruin your silk blouse. Also, never hang your silk blouses to dry as it can cause
the fabric to pull.
- Always lay your silk pieces flat to dry (there's an exception. Read further below)
Ironing your blouse? Then be careful about it as silk is a delicate fabric that can be easily ruined. Choose the correct temperature (which should
be one of the lowest ones) on your iron machine.
Tip: Want to remove creases from your silk blouse? Hang it on a hanger in a room with humid temperature. Like for example when you take a shower or in
front of a hot fire or radiator. The creases will drop.
