Why We Should All Have at Least One Silk Shirt in Our Wardrobe | Pom Lampson

There are certain pieces every wardrobe deserves - the perfect pair of jeans, the little black dress, and, without doubt, the silk shirt. A silk shirt is one of those transformative staples: it slips easily between work and weekend, elegance and ease, day and night. At Pom Lampson, this philosophy is at the very heart of our design ethos - creating silk staples that are timeless, elegant, and feminine without being frilly.

So why do we think every woman needs at least one silk shirt in their wardrobes? Here are six reasons for you.. please feel free to add any more!

1. Effortless Elegance, Every Time

A silk shirt instantly elevates even the simplest outfit. Worn with tailored trousers, it’s sleek and polished. Paired with denim, it feels relaxed yet refined. And layered over lingerie, it exudes quiet confidence. Pom Lampson’s shirts are designed to make you feel confident, comfortable, and sexy without ever trying too hard.

2. The Power of Natural Fabrics

We have always believed in the importance of natural fabrics. Silk, with its soft drape and subtle sheen, doesn’t just look beautiful, it feels beautiful against the skin. Breathable, lightweight, and long-lasting, silk is the ultimate choice for women who want comfort without sacrificing style.

3. Designed with Detail

Every Pom Lampson piece starts by hand. From the initial sketch to the final stitch, every detail matters. It’s this meticulous approach that gives our silk shirts their unique cut, fit, and finish - each one designed by Pom herself to be worn, loved, and lived in.

4. From Day to Night

A silk shirt is the rare piece that works everywhere. Slip it under a blazer for a meeting, knot it over swimwear on holiday, or wear it loose with tailored trousers for dinner. It’s the ultimate chameleon in a wardrobe full of “wear once” pieces.

5. The Confidence Factor

Clothes should make you feel something. A silk shirt has a way of boosting confidence - the softness against your skin, the fluidity of the fabric, the way it moves with you. It’s everyday luxury that feels like self-care.

6. A Timeless Investment

Fast fashion fades — silk staples stay. A beautifully cut silk shirt is not just a purchase, it’s an investment in your wardrobe and in yourself. It’s a piece you’ll return to again and again, each time feeling a little more effortless, a little more you.

Silk Shirt Spotlight: The Lupin vs The Bardot

We like to keep things simple and the focus is on great design so you have two options to choose from (with more colours coming soon!)

• The Lupin Shirt - The proper shirt for ultimate everyday luxury. With its relaxed fit and subtle tailoring, it embodies “lazy femininity” - just throw on and go. This shirt is so chic but never fussy and slips seamlessly from boardroom to brunch to beach. The sleeves are full length (that make your arms look skinny) with covered poppers at the cuffs.

• 

• The Bardot Shirt - Named after the ultimate icon of effortless style, the Bardot is understated glamour and utterly unique. Sleek lines, refined detail, and the kind of shirt you reach for when you want to feel extraordinary whether its to wear with jeans on the school run or to the office for that important meeting.
