One easy outfit recipe that pretty much everyone can agree on? Pairing a silk shirt with black trousers. It’s so simple and utterly chic. Hailey Bieber test-drove the trend with a turquoise vintage Gucci blouse earlier this year, but Laura Dern has most recently demonstrated the concept. Styled by Elizabeth Stewart, the 59-year-old actress stepped out at the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles wearing a full look by Bella Freud.
While Dern’s take on menswear is definitely worth replicating, it’s her icy blue silk shirt that proves this trendy top resonates with women from Gen X to Gen Z. Keep scrolling to shop several silk shirts in shades similar to both Bieber and Dern, plus a few more we would wear with black trousers. Just remember: dry clean or hand-wash only!
