Capsule Wardrobe Essentials

The Silk Blouse

When you are building your capsule wardrobe essentials, every woman needs a silk (or silk-like) long-sleeve blouse or button-up shirt. This versatile capsule staple can be styled with denim and flats for daytime, or paired with a midi skirt and heels for a night out.

Why a silk shirt?

Why is a long-sleeve, silk button-down a must-have in your capsule wardrobe? What about a cotton button-down or a short-sleeve silk blouse? Not that those pieces aren’t good choices as well, but specifically for your capsule wardrobe essentials, a silk blouse or shirt will be the most versatile addition to your wardrobe. Always classically in style, they hold their own against the other pieces in your closet.

Silk offers an elegant sheen and texture that pairs beautifully against other fabrics in your closet. By choosing long sleeves, you give yourself the versatility of rolling the sleeves up as well for a warmer day. Layering becomes more interesting; a silk blouse peeking out from a cashmere sweater. Also, the femininity of silk is fun to play with; you can increase the soft and romantic feel by pairing the silk shirt with a skirt and ballet flats. Or perhaps you play with masculine vs. feminine, pairing the silky top with a structured blazer and chic chunky sneakers. With this piece in your wardrobe, you give yourself endless options for chic looks.

The goal of having a closet with capsule wardrobe staples is to create a timeless foundation for your wardrobe. These pieces are classic essentials that easily mix and match with other pieces in your closet for an array of outfit combinations. A silk shirt is absolutely one of these essentials. In a neutral color, with no embellishments, it will be a staple in your wardrobe for years to come. Check out my picks below!
