Much like anything form-fitting, or that requires fasteners to put on, bras have taken a backseat in my clothing lineup. It wasn’t exactly an intentional fashion exile on my part: but when most office days include settling in on the couch with stretchy pants, it’s easy to disregard them as a vital part of a weekday wardrobe. After months of barely even looking at a bra, I decided to give them another go in an attempt to get out of my much too relaxed pajama pants uniform. I found that even when I’m throwing on the same button-down or turtleneck for the second time in a week, and happen to scarcely leave my apartment, a bra at least provides some pretense of feeling put together. And an option that can’t help but make you feel good? Welcome to the wonderful world of the silk bra.

Much like how a silk shirt instantly creates an air of elegance, silk bras pretty much do the same when it comes to lingerie. They’re a little dose of luxury that quickly lifts my mood–even if I’m the only one who knows I’m wearing it. With that said, I’m sure you too could use a little something to lift your spirits, so I’ve put all of the internet’s best silk bras in one place. From bralettes to those of the push-up variety, scroll below to peruse and shop all of the ones I'm loving right now.

Fashion Market Editor

Indya Brown is a fashion editor, stylist, and writer living in Los Angeles. While going to school at Columbia University in New York City, she got her feet wet in the fashion industry interning at Elle magazine, Harper's Bazaar, and New York magazine's The Cut. After graduating in 2016, she joined The Cut as a fashion assistant, eventually working her way up to fashion editor. There, she worked on a multitude of projects, including styling inbook feature stories for New York magazine's print issue, writing and pitching market stories for The Cut, and serving as fashion lead for The Cut's branded content. While New York has been her home for over 10 years, she moved to Los Angeles in the midst of the pandemic in 2020 for a new chapter. Now she is a fashion market editor for Who What Wear, focusing on emerging designers, rising trends on and off the internet, interior design, and BIPOC creatives and brands. Aside from her duties as a fashion market editor, Brown is also a freelance stylist and writer, working on national print and video commercial campaigns for Sephora, The Independent, and Cadillac. Her bylines also include Harper's Bazaar, Vox, and The New York Times. But once the computer goes down and the emails turn off, she's likely eating her way through Koreatown, hunting down vintage furniture, scoping out new outrageous nail designs to try, or taking a hot cycling class.
