{"title":"Silk \u0026 Satin Skirts","description":"\u003cp\u003eSilk and satin skirts are the quiet workhorses of an Italian wardrobe — they take a knit in January and a camisole in July without ever changing character. We hand-select ours on buying trips to Italy, looking for the qualities the Como silk tradition prizes: a dense, fluid charmeuse with real weight, a bias cut that follows the body without clinging, and seams pressed flat enough to disappear under a fitted sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection runs from clean solids to prints. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/smooth-skirt-1\"\u003eivory satin bias-cut midi\u003c\/a\u003e and its silver sister are the foundation pieces — the bias cut is what gives a satin skirt that liquid, poured-on movement, and it is far less forgiving to sew, which is why it has become our quality test for any atelier we work with. For pattern, there is a deep green-and-navy print on our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/silky-midi-skirt\"\u003esilky midi skirt\u003c\/a\u003e and a bordered paisley on the satin wrap maxi — both colorways we picked specifically for how they read against Florida light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSatin earns its keep in Sarasota: the fiber sits cool against the skin through a warm evening, and the luster does the dressing-up so the rest of the outfit can stay simple.
