  • WEAR THEM WITH FLATS – whether you’re wearing a silk dress, silk skirt or a silk top, finish up your whole look with simple flats to give the silk piece a more casual look that’s fitter for everyday wear. This is a great way to dress your silk piece just a wee bit instead of totally taking away its elegant vibe.

  • ADD A DENIM PIECE TO YOUR OUTFIT – another really easy way to dress down a lavish silk piece is to add a denim piece somewhere in your outfit along with it. Denim never fails to lend any outfit a casual and laidback look which is why it’s the perfect match for any dressy item you want to dress down. A silk top would make a great street style look when paired with a chic denim skirt. You can top off your silk dress with a denim vest or a denim jacket or you can wear an easy chambray shirt together with your silk skirt.
