Let’s be honest, there’s nothing quite like slipping into pure silk. Whether it’s the dead of winter or peak summer, the way a silk slip drapes your body can make you feel instantly luxurious, elegant, and yes—a little bit unstoppable. But not all silk slips are created equal, and finding the one for each season takes a little bit of know-how. Let’s break it down.

Why Silk Slips Are Always in Season for Beauty Sleep

Silk is like that friend who’s good at everything. It keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter thanks to its natural temperature-regulating magic, supported by scientific studies on silk’s thermoregulatory properties published in textile research journals. And here’s the kicker: it does wonders for your skin, too. A pure silk slip helps reduce sleep creases and is kind to sensitive skin, acne-prone faces, and even thinning hair.

This is why silk slips, silk pillowcases, and even a silk sleep mask are beauty sleep essentials. Unlike cotton pillowcases, which absorb moisture and can cause facial creasing, silk works with your skin’s natural hydration. Say hello to better skin texture and radiance.

Summer Loving: Light, Airy & Breathable Silk Essentials

When the heat is on, your body craves breathable fabric. Opt for lighter tones and shorter cuts. Enter:

• Kelly Tap Pant in Ivory — a cheeky little number made from breathable silk that feels like you’re wearing nothing at all.
• Kelly Long Chemise in Oyster — flowing, feminine and cooling, ideal for sultry nights.

Pair them with our Marie Kimono in Ivory for a breezy, glamorous touch. It's also perfect over a slip dress or chemise.

Style Tip: Keep it loose and floaty. Silk in summer should kiss your skin, not cling—thanks to its naturally breathable fabric that enhances comfort in warmer months. These pieces help prevent that sticky, riding-up feeling we all dread.

Autumn Vibes: Transitioning in Style with Silk Layers

As the leaves turn, so should your lingerie wardrobe. Richer colours, slightly heavier layers, and versatile pieces are your go-to.

• Kelly Tap Pant in Rouge — a pop of warm colour, perfect under midi dresses or paired with a Cotton Voile Cami.
• Marie Kimono in Black — the ultimate layering piece. Luxurious enough to lounge in, sleek enough to answer the door.

Pro Tip: Mix textures. Throw on your silk tap pants with a cotton wrap or sweater for the perfect trans-seasonal lounge set.

Winter Warmers: Stay Stylish in Cold Weather with Silk Layers

Yes, you can wear silk in winter—and no, you won’t freeze. Just layer it right.

• Kelly Long Chemise in Mulberry — moody, dramatic, and oh-so snug when paired with thick socks and a hot drink.
• Marie Kimono in Black — an extra layer of warmth and glamour.

Cosy Hack: Layer your chemise over a Modal Half Slip or pair with leggings to stay warm without sacrificing style.

Spring Awakening: Fresh Silhouettes and Silk Comforts

Time to lighten up again! Think soft hues, natural fibres, and silhouettes that move with you.

• Kelly Tap Pant in Black — timeless, flattering, and perfect with a tank or tee.
• Kelly Long Chemise in Oyster — fresh, floaty and ideal for layering through changing temps.

Style Inspo: Add a silk blend robe or kimono and you're brunch-ready without even trying. Don’t forget a sleep mask from our collection for those sunny morning lie-ins.
