What Is Satin?
Satin is a weave — not a fiber — that creates a smooth, glossy surface on one side of the fabric. It can be made from silk, polyester or other fibers.
Start searchingGood to know
Satin catches the light, so it reads as dressy. Silk satin is the luxury version; polyester satin is more affordable and easier to care for.
How to wear it
Satin is a natural fit for slip dresses, skirts, blouses and evening wear; balance its shine with matte textures like knits or wool.
