Casual Chic

• Casual chic is made possible by choosing a flowery and ruffly silk shirt and pairing it with a pair of dark skinny jeans. Accessorize with a flower in your hair, and a great necklace or choker, and some chunky bracelets. Choose either pointed-toe stiletto heels or a great pair of espadrilles to round out your look.
  
  

Professional

• Silk shirts are a perfect choice for a professional wardrobe. Collared silk shirts in a plain color or pinstriped designs look perfect with a professional skirt or pair of slacks. A sleeveless silk slip in a bright color is the perfect way to add a "pop" of cheer to any neutral colored suit. Even casual Friday attire works well with silk shirts. Wear a bright sleeveless silk shirt underneath a denim or khaki blazer with a pair of jeans and casual shoes. Accessorize these looks with details such as pearl necklaces and tasteful brooches.
  
  

Chinese Brocade

• Chinese brocade silk shirts are an Asian sensation. Mandarin collars and frog buttons create a sleek and sexy look that doesn't compare to anything else. Bright colors and fun flowers make these silk shirts appropriate for day and night. Pair a Chinese silk brocade shirt with a black skirt for a sophisticated night on the town look, or wear a pair of skinny jeans for a polished casual look. Pull your hair back in a bun using chop sticks to accessorize. Black ballet flats or dressy flip-flops finish the look.
  
  

Caring for Silk Shirts

• Women who love their silk shirts know they are expensive so they want to protect their investment. Silk is a delicate fabric that must be handled with care. Dry clean any pieces if possible. Certain silk shirts can be washed with a delicate detergent. Spot cleaning should be avoided; it causes rings to form in the fabric. Lightly iron your shirts while turned inside so the silk won't become shiny from a hot iron. Never bleach or use hot water while caring for this type of fabric.
