Static happens—especially in dry weather and with certain layers.

- Use a metal hanger trick: run a metal hanger lightly over the skirt to reduce static

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I stop a silk skirt clinging?
Wear a slip or smoothing short, use anti-static spray, and let moisturiser absorb fully before getting dressed.
How do I get static out of a silk skirt quickly?
A light mist of water or anti-static spray works fast. In a pinch, rub a tiny amount of lotion between your hands and lightly smooth the skirt (less is more).
Is a silk skirt suitable for formal occasions?
Yes. Pair with a cami or blouse, refined jewellery, and a sleek heel. A long silk skirt looks especially elegant for events.
Can I wear a silk skirt on a hot day?
Absolutely—silk is breathable and lightweight. Stick to a minimal top and sandals for an easy summer look.
What underwear works best under a silk skirt?
Seamless, smooth underwear in a tone close to your skin. Avoid heavy seams and bright white under lighter shades like white silk skirt or cream silk skirt.
Will a silk skirt crease easily?
Silk can crease with sitting and movement. A steamer is your best friend—quick steam and it’s back to looking polished.
How do I store a silk skirt properly?
Hang it on a padded hanger or fold it neatly with tissue between layers. Keep it out of direct sunlight to protect the colour and sheen.
Can I wash a silk skirt at home?
Often yes: cold water, delicate cycle or hand wash, gentle detergent, no wringing, dry in shade. If it’s very delicate or heavily dyed, dry cleaning is safer.
Is a silk wrap skirt adjustable?
Yes. A silk wrap skirt is designed to be adjustable at the waist, which makes it easy to fine-tune the fit.
What shoes go best with a silk skirt?
Trainers for casual, loafers for smart daytime, strappy heels for evenings, and ankle boots for cooler weather.

Yes. Orders are carefully packaged by Something Pretty and shipped fast with tracked nationwide delivery in South Africa.
