Silk Tops for Women, Chosen by Occasion and Fit

This page brings our silk tops for women together in one place: relaxed T-shirts, collared button-up shirts, tie-neck and statement blouses, camisoles and tanks, and silk cardigans for layering. Because the range is broad, the quickest way to shop is to decide where the top will be worn, then narrow by sleeve, neckline and fabric.

Start With Where You Will Wear It

• Office and appointments — A lapel-collar shirt or a tie-neck blouse looks finished with tailored trousers and holds its own under a blazer.
• Weekends and travel — A silk T-shirt or mock-neck top pairs with jeans or a relaxed skirt and keeps a casual outfit simple.
• Warm evenings and layering — A camisole or sleeveless tank works alone in summer or under a cardigan when the air conditioning is strong.
• An extra layer — A lightweight silk cardigan adds sleeves over a cami or dress without the bulk of a sweater.

Each category has its own collection if you already know the shape you want. Button-ups and blouses are grouped under silk shirts and blouses, casual tees under silk T-shirts, and strappy styles under silk camis and tank tops.

Shirts and Blouses With Detail

Shirts here are cut with lapel or notched collars and button fronts, in long, three-quarter, short and sleeveless versions. Blouses lean softer, with tie necks and bows, stand collars, bell or lantern sleeves, gathered necklines and pearl-like buttons on certain styles.

For pattern, look for leopard, polka dot, stripe, geometric, butterfly and floral prints. A solid shirt in black, white or a muted blue is the most versatile starting point; a print is easier to wear once you own a plain one to balance it.

Knit Silk Jersey or Woven Stretch Silk

Two fabric families run through this collection, and they feel quite different. Most of the tops list a 19 momme weight, and those woven shirts, blouses and tanks are typically described as 95% mulberry silk with 5% spandex. They have silk's familiar sheen and drape, with a little stretch for ease of movement.

Knit silk jersey tees and mock necks are usually described as 100% mulberry silk, though a few jersey styles blend silk with spandex or rayon. Jersey is softer, more matte and stretches naturally, so it follows the body and feels closer to a favorite cotton T-shirt. Because composition differs by style, read the fabric note on the listing before you buy.

Necklines and Sleeves for the Coverage You Want

Round, crew and boat necks give the most coverage at the chest. V-necks and cowl necks open the neckline and soften the look under a jacket. Mock and high necks feel polished in cooler months, while halter and square necks are more summery.

Sleeve length matters just as much. Cap and short sleeves cover the shoulder without adding warmth, three-quarter sleeves stay out of the way at a desk, and long sleeves suit meetings or an evening out. If you prefer your arms covered, compare sleeve length first.

Camisoles and Tanks

Camisoles come with spaghetti straps, V or cowl necklines, and lace trim on a few designs. Straps are adjustable on certain styles, which lets you fine-tune where the neckline sits. A tank with wider straps or a U neck is easier to wear with a regular bra.

Lighter shades may show what is underneath in bright light, so a nude-toned bra or a camisole under a pale blouse is a sensible plan.

Finding Your Size and Caring for Silk

Most tops list sizes as letters with US number equivalents, for example M (8/10). Compare the bust and length measurements in the chart with a top you already own. Jersey and stretch blends follow the body more closely, so check the bust measurement if you prefer a looser fit. Care instructions depend on the fabric, so follow the label on the specific piece.
