Silk and satin are fabrics that are perfect for spring and summer days and evenings. It is only necessary to wear them, observing a number of rules - then these fabrics will emphasize not the flaws, but, on the contrary, the dignity of the figure.
Satin and silk are fabrics incredibly pleasant for warm and especially hot days. Gently touching the skin with its silky surface, they create a feeling of breeze and coolness. However, you have to wear them with caution: due to their ability to flow, fitting and highlighting any protrusion and cavity, they become quite insidious, since they can visually highlight the advantages of a figure and also clearly reveal its imperfections. We figure out how to wear satin and silk and look luxurious and seductive.
1. Choose a loose fit
One of the best ways to take full advantage of satin and silk, while avoiding their "treachery" is to choose a free, flying cut. Whether it is a satin evening dress or a silk shirt that you will wear during the day, bet on oversized fashionable today, and you will not lose.

2. Use assembly and drapery
Another option that is suitable in order to avoid the unnecessary effect of excess fitting, while also showing the luxury of the shine of the fabric in all its glory - the use of assemblies and draperies. Silk and satin look especially advantageous in flowing models, also showing a figure in a favorable light.

3. Attention - to the print
Bright colorful print is especially fashionable in the coming season - this also applies to silk and satin fabrics. The bonus of a noticeable print is also that it attracts attention, and even rather tight-fitting things from silk and satin look more elegant.

4. Combine
If you are not ready for a silk-satin total bow, combine things from these fabrics with other, more relaxed options. Jeans, lace, cotton - the contrast can be deliberate and obvious or subtle and restrained, in any case, the dullness of the "neighbors" will emphasize the overflow of silk or satin, harmonizing the image as a whole.

5. Scarf - the main summer accessory made of silk
Speaking of silk, one cannot fail to mention the main summer accessory from this fabric - a silk scarf. Wear a scarf like a scarf or a turban, as a jewelry for a bag, a bracelet, top or even a dress - this is a classic that has not gone out of fashion for decades.
