silk shirt

Lustrous woven top

A silk shirt is a shirt made from silk fabric, typically associated with luxury, sensuality, or flashy style.

The material drapes smoothly and feels cool against skin.

Silk shirts appear in contexts ranging from elegant evening wear to the open-collared look of disco-era fashion or organized crime stereotypes: He showed up in a purple silk shirt unbuttoned to the chest.
