Your very best outfit could be hanging in your closet right now. All that’s missing, is the piece to pull it together. I have a wardrobe full of separates and often find myself turning it upside-down looking for something to wear. I recently got my tax return back (late, I know), and decided to immediately buy some silk separates—I.e., the pieces I always reserve for “next time” in favour of purchasing the hero piece.
The addition of a few silk slips and singlets has been life-changing (to my wardrobe). Those velvet flares I bought and have never worn, suddenly just work with a pastel pink silk cami. And that floral bomber jacket I bought with the best intentions last winter? Got its first run last weekend with a black slip dress.
My whole wardrobe feels overhauled and I’m out of that rut. I no longer have the same ten items on rotation, but I'm rediscovering pieces I forgot I had, and wearing them in new ways.
Keep scrolling to see how silk separates will overhaul your wardrobe—then just try and stop yourself from making the investment.
