Satin clothing used to be reserved for party wear and boudoir attire, but now the shiny, fluid fabric has officially made it into the fashion mainstream. Forget about saving your satin pieces just for special occasions; it’s time to drape yourself in luxe, slinky styles for every day.

The return of ’90s fashion may have opened the flood gates for satin clothing of all kinds: Bias-cut midi skirts, cowl-neck tanks, and more have joined the satin slip dress as go-to fashion-girl favorites. Once considered a luxury textile and a popular choice for lingerie and undergarments, satin has become a wardrobe essential. Street style stars are making the trend their own, pairing satin dresses with sneakers and wearing shiny camis with denim shorts–but it doesn’t stop there.

Even as it makes its way into everyday outfits, satin still enjoys eveningwear staple status. Sexy and sophisticated, satin dresses are perfectly on point for date nights, cocktail parties, or weddings. When in doubt, a satin slip dress with ankle strap heels is always a winning combo. This fluid fabric has a way of looking simultaneously relaxed and polished–what’s better than that?

Of course, the lingerie-inspired satin cami is also at the top of our closet must-haves list. Wear it to dress up jeans, add a feminine element under a structured blazer, or layer it under a chunky knit.

No matter how you incorporate satin into your look this season, you’re probably going to want to do so ASAP. Keep scrolling to shop 12 of our slinky favorites available right now.
