Hi,

So I'm looking for a womens long sleeve silk shirt for a max of £100. Ideally in a khaki green or maybe cream. They like Ralph Lauren, Ted Baker, French Connection, Mint Velvet and the like.

Could maybe stretch the budget if it was perfect.

TIA 😊

Have you searched women's cream silk shirt/khaki silk shirt? There are a lot of online-only retailers that specialise in silk.

Nutcrackers23 · 05/12/2023 11:09

@Whataretheodds yes 😂 Couldn't really find what I was looking for exactly. I've noticed over the years that mnetters seem to find things that my Google search can't 🤷‍♀️

M&S, Lilysilk, Baukjen, Hobbs, jigsaw, the shirt company, and mint velvet all come up when i Google. Some are up to £150 admittedly

Sézane chlo shirt? Some of the colours come in silk and it's around £100.

Myheadhurtsstill · 05/12/2023 13:12

OP, It would be helpful to know the type of finish you prefer. The sezanne shirt linked by @dullandgrey has a matt finish where as the Lilysilk one has a shinier finish. My personal preference is for the understated matt finish but its really horses for courses.

This would be the very worst way to look for any stylish item of clothing.

It says it is though.

Only if you have no personal ability to filter out from several options.

@GatherlyGal I love that. Would you come back and let me know what it’s like and how the sizing is when you get it?

BigSkies2022 · 05/12/2023 16:42

I bought a nice one from Everlane in burnt sugar. Apologies for the long link. Their sizes come up quite large - I'd usually wear a UK 10, but the UK 8 turned out better. And I'm quite broadshouldered. https://www.everlane.com/products/womens-clean-silk-relaxed-shirt-hthr-burnt-sugar?locale=GB&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=pla-google-pmax&utm_campaign=17305642289&utm_content=&utm_term=&adgroup=&pid=9935-72707&device=c&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsburBhCIARIsAExmsu7Qb5X42-b8Iw-73fACv8AqLPg-zDcYHb-c5m7H_ClCugc1yt3qE00aAmbBEALw_wcB

@Getthethrowonthesofa yes it's 100% silk but a matte type of silk. I have it in forest green and it hangs beautifully. Depends if OPs looking for a more shiny silk.

MerryChristmasToYou · 05/12/2023 21:20

I've already posted that one! The plain ones are nice.

CharlotteRumpling · 06/12/2023 04:19

I like that Sezanne shirt. I an always looking for a matt silk.
