Best Silk Tops | Fall 2012

It's as easy to slip on a silky blouse with your jeans as it is your go-to t-shirt — that's part of what makes Fall's chic silk tops so appealing. Of course, the other big part of why we love them is just how gorgeous and universally wearable they are. Their soft finish makes them one of the most comfortable options in our closet, but there are also endless iterations to make them one of the most popular. This season, we're looking to silky plaid button-downs — a fresh redux on a Fall classic, rich jewel toned silks, and pretty versions that marry our favorite trends, like lace or florals on a great silk button-down or party top. Not only are these 14 toppers incredibly lovely, they're also incredibly practical — you'll be wearing them from now through holiday-party season and well beyond.
