Why luxury silk loungewear makes the perfect gift for her
I can’t help it; I just adore silk and always have since I can remember. It is such a beautiful fabric perfect for loungewear and I love to design with it. It’s so soft against your skin and just falls in all the right places around your curves. The beautiful iridescent shine of natural silk just can’t be replicated by synthetics. Silk feels like it is caressing your skin.
I love designing garments in luxurious silk, for me, it is the epitome of luxury. This year I am so excited as we have our beautiful silk loungewear, Fleur du jour collection which is available for the holiday season. This collection is so easy to wear and transitions beautifully from day to night. I have two silk camisoles which I have on rotation wearing either to sleep in or under my beautiful Fleur du jour silk shirt. I adore them and feel ready for anything whilst draped in these beautiful garments.
The beautiful Fleur du Jour silk loungewear collection is so versatile it should be a must in any elegant woman’s wardrobe. Each of these sumptuous pieces would make a very special gift for that special someone at Christmas. I know so many women who would love to receive one of our beautiful gift boxes under the tree with one of our silk luxury loungewear pieces inside.
Silk is such an amazing natural fabric. With so many benefits, it is an absolute joy to design with, some of my favourite benefits are:
- Unmatched softness. For me, it’s the ultimate in self-care. Adoring my body with something beautiful gives me a secret level of confidence. Draping yourself in a silk nightdress or pyjama set feels like a gentle caress against the skin.
- Referred to as “The queen of fabrics” Its shine is stunning and just can’t be replicated with synthetic fabrics.
- Silk is a natural protein fibre, hyper allogenic and gentle on sensitive skin, unlike synthetic fabrics that can irritate. Silk is naturally resistant to dust mites, Mold, and allergens. I personally have very sensitive skin and have to choose my fabrics to wear carefully.
- It’s ability to regulate body temperature. Whether it's a cold winter night or a warm summer evening, silk adapts to the body's needs, keeping you cool when it's hot and warm when it's cold. This natural temperature regulation makes silk nightwear and pyjamas an ideal gift, ensuring comfort throughout the seasons. The Fleur du Jour camisole and shorts are perfect for sleeping in as is the signature night slip. We can’t get enough of its beautiful sheen at Fleur of England.
- Its drape when cut on the bias means it just flows and gently caresses your curves, you can’t help but feel like a goddess when you wear our slip dress or silk-lined camisole. Our silk trousers and shorts feature silk-lined pockets, I love putting my hands inside the pockets and feeling the silk caress my hands. Pure indulgence, perfect silk loungewear!
- Silk has some anti-ageing benefits; I love this fact! Silk’s smooth texture reduces friction against the skin, which can help prevent sleep creases and reduce the risk of developing fine lines over time. Additionally, silk does not absorb moisture as cotton does, allowing skin to retain its natural hydration. This makes silk nightwear and accessories like silk eye masks an excellent beauty gift, perfect for maintaining a youthful glow. I have worn my signature eye mask every night for the last 5 years. I go everywhere with it, it’s perfect for long-haul flights and when I travel. It is so soft and the elastic is very gentle on my head but always stays in place. I am super sensitive to light when I sleep and it is brilliant at blocking out the light.
Now that I have explained why I love silk so much and all its incredible benefits I would like to guide you through buying the perfect silk pieces from our collections and why they would make the perfect luxury gift that will be adored at Christmas and for many years to come.
Our silk shirt and silk Trousers are the perfect luxury gift. These pieces have been cleverly designed to cross over into ready-to-wear as well as nightwear. The silk trousers are so luxurious. I recently wore mine all day in New York then caught a red-eye home, they were perfect to wear for meetings as well as a long-haul flight. So soft and luxurious, and I love the extra details that show pure craftsmanship like the wide hem and French seams. Not to mention the pure luxury silk-lined pocket. The shirt features silk-covered buttons with the most beautiful curved lined cuff detail. The whole of the back yoke of this beautiful silk shirt is lined with silk satin. so, you feel the smooth softness of the silk against your skin, which is pure luxury. I regularly wear this shirt for business meetings it’s so versatile. For those who prefer a more relaxed style, our silk pyjamas offer the perfect blend of comfort and elegance. These pieces are designed to provide a comfortable fit while maintaining a sense of sophistication. With their smooth, luxurious feel, our silk pyjamas make the perfect gift for anyone who values both style and comfort in their silk loungewear.
These elegant silk loungewear pieces cross over effortlessly from day to night. I particularly like the secret fastening on the back of the camisole and the inside lining of the camisole which falls below the bust for a smooth finish. I recently travelled to Greece on family business with my silk camisole and a short set packed, it was the perfect sleepwear set for those very warm nights, keeping me cool and regulating my body temperature.
Pure indulgence and so effortlessly chic to wear or sleep in. This beautiful garment is cut on the bias and features the most beautiful French dart and seams. Its careful construction means it just glides over the body for a smooth silhouette, unlocking your inner goddess. I wore mine to The Intima Lingerie Awards in New York (The Oscars for North American Lingerie boutiques). This slip features adjustable straps with 24-carat gold-plated hardware. The bust is lined in silk giving you an extra layer of coverage, and a smooth finish, oozing refined elegance.
This beautiful bra is two layers of stretch silk carefully crafted into a wireless triangle bra. There is silk-encased elastic that sits around your rib cage and 24-carat gold-plated adjusters on the straps. You could pair this perfectly with the Fleur du Jour thong or brief for an elevated everyday lingerie look. This on-trend bra is irresistibly soft and can be worn effortlessly with an opaque shirt.
Our silk sleep masks are the perfect companion for a restful night’s sleep. The smooth, breathable fabric blocks out light without putting pressure on the eyes, ensuring an uninterrupted sleep. These masks are an elegant addition to any nighttime routine and a perfect stocking filler for the holiday season.
Silk hair scrunchies are not just a stylish accessory but also a healthy choice for your hair. Unlike regular hair ties that can cause breakage and damage, silk scrunchies glide smoothly over the hair, reducing friction and preventing split ends. We have the beautiful Eva scrunchie available to buy.
We often get asked, “how do I care for my silk?”. We advise cold handwashing using the Clothes Doctor wash for silk and delicates. If you are travelling, we have a small travel size available too. Please always dry your silk pieces flat and away from sunlight. You can read more about caring for your silk here.
