Silk is one of the most luxurious and delicate fabrics used to make clothing, and it is not a surprise that they're one of the most stylish materials you can wear this season. I've been a huge fan of silk for past few years because I have sensitive skin, and wearing polyester fabrics gets pretty uncomfortable during the day.
I want to introduce a lovely shop called Bekah Studio which sells beautifully-designed, elegant silk tops for women. To begin, here's a bit about the brand. Bekah Studio is founded by Rebekah Scott and aims to create luxurious but simple designs for the everyday woman. With the mission of creating garments that are comfortable, stylish yet high-end at the same time, the brand's collection features a variety of silk t-shirts and halter tops that are extremely exquisite and timeless- perfect for day or night.
I am fortunate enough to be able to review two lovely items from their shop. The first is this Onyx boxy t-shirt which looks amazing with pretty much all the bottoms in my wardrobe. The quality of the t-shirt is fantastic, as it is made from a medium-weight silk, which drapes beautifully around the body. The thickness of the t-shirt means that nothing is see-through, and I can wear any type of underwear with this top. I love the sewing and quality of the t-shirt, as everything was made extremely well. Bekah Studio works with local seamstresses to make their garments, which means that everything is impeccably made and can last for years to come.
As you can see, the design of the top is pretty cool. It comes in a boxy, loose fit, which means that I could get away with a size Small. I usually wear a UK size 8-10 and this top fits me perfectly, although I could just as well get away with a medium too. I think much of the fit depends on how you'd like it to look. The top is not long, but it is extremely beautiful with leggings or high-waisted trousers. I styled it with my grey leggings and knee-high boots for a cozy, elegant look. This top is very versatile, and can be worn for work or play. I absolutely adore the timeless silhouette created by this t-shirt, and it's definitely my wardrobe essential for years to come.
The cutting of the shirt also impressed me as it looked quite chic and stylish on my body. The armholes of the shirt are not large, and they were just the right length to be flattering on most body shapes. This top is definitely an investment as it needs to be hand-washed, but as with all silk garments, it is definitely worth the effort. Silk feels extremely good on the skin and Bekah Studio's t-shirt is made from a satin type of silk, which keeps you warm during the winter and cool during the summer.
I also got another t-shirt in the gorgeous colour Pearl- I chose this t-shirt because I wanted something that I could wear to work and for dinners with my friends. A lighter t-shirt works well with darker bottoms, and I styled this beautiful t-shirt with my favourite checkered skirt. The outfit works really well for casual days, and I received so many compliments when I wore this to my friend's birthday party the other day!
As for the quality and fit, again this top is lovely and looks extremely stylish. It also came in a boxy fit, as with all of Bekah Studio's other t-shirts, which means that it is not too loose or tight. I love how it drapes over the body well, and looks great with skirts and shorts. This top, however, is different from the Black t-shirt that I showed you before because it is made from a thinner type of silk. It doesn't feel as thick, which means that it's great for summer or spring. This glamorous top feels very comfortable on the skin as the silk is buttery smooth and keeps you well-insulated under the Hong Kong air-conditioning!
Overall, I'm super happy with these wonderful silk tops as they're impeccably designed, well-made and some of the most gorgeous and affordable silk garments that I've ever seen. As a girl who's just graduated, I'm really keen to change up my wardrobe and incorporate more elegant and refined pieces. Bekah Studio has amazing tees and also halter tops which look amazing on the body. I'm really excited to keep wearing these shirts for years to come.
Head's up- Bekah Studio is opening a pop-up shop in D2 Place in December! Make sure you visit them!
The Pearl shirt looks so glamorous and elegant! You have amazing style.
