Silk shirt to go with leather leggings

16 replies

cashmerecardigans · 27/02/2015 20:26

I've just bought some fab Joseph leather leggings from ebay and I really want a silk shirt to wear with them. Everything I've seen seems to be more of a blouse than shirt and too short. I want something that comes to the tops of my legs if possible. I'm also 5"9, so length is important. Any ideas?
Thanks

What colour? Budget? Size?

I'm a 10 usually, not sure on colour - I'm pale and blonde, so pale colours work well - maybe pale blue or grey, but also have a hankering for a cobalt blue! Budget - up to £150 or so?

I like some of the Poetry ones.

Uniqlo are popular but not my personal style.

Pure Collection are gorgeous quality. Colours not brilliant this season.

Uniqlo silk blouse. Any good?

Jaegar? bargain at £60 half price
I bought this and it is nice although I would size up if you have any boobs at all!

Margarita, I love the tiered Poetry one and the colours are lovely - the pale grey is fab. Thanks Sorrel, I'm not mad on it but not sure why - but the price is amazing. Just found out that John Lewis do the Poetry one and thanks to my lovely son having a weekend job at Waitrose I get discount so that could be the winner! Thanks so much - saved me ages searching and I'd not heard of that brand before.

Good colour…but the length?

I have a & other stories one that is mulberry silk - what is that anyway? - and it is a bastard to iron.

angeltulips · 28/02/2015 08:42

J crew have excellent very long silk shirts

I have one I really love from zara, have a look at some threads from about November last year at this very topic. However! Imagine my horror that because it is mulberry silk it is dryclean only

margaritasbythesea · 28/02/2015 08:50

My mulberry silk says you can hand wash it.

Mine not sadly. Almost SHOUTs on the label

If you don't mind 'pre-loved', take a look at Equipment silk shirts on Vestiaire Collective. The quality of the items is verified by VC so less risky than EBay, you could get 2 for your budget. Also you can make an offer lower than the asking price, always worth a try
