Silk does not allow the body to breathe as well as cotton. A fact that is nothing new to most women. So with the must-have trend of the season, silk: How do athletically inclined women enjoy this fabric? Hours after kickboxing, I sweat. When I have anxiety, I sweat. So do I even attempt to wear silk for work or dates?
Well, I don't know about you, but I love to try a new style at least once - or again, for that matter. So for me, I plan to find a sleeveless black or navy silk blouses or even dresses. The air will hit me in just the right area, and I will hopefully still feel chic and comfy.
See how these celebrities make silk work for their personality and style. (Hollywood A-listers remain our biggest fashion inspirations, after all.) But of course, know your budget and where to find couture-inspired designs without gasping from a high-ticketed receipt. Some of my recommended retail outlets to visit: Target, Forever 21, Banana Republic, H&M, and Express.
*FYI: Combos of silk, satin, and/or cotton may be your better bet in terms of breathing room and comfort, while still staying in sync with this hot Spring '09 trend.

I love wearing silk but certainly not advisable on a super hot day.
Uhh -- gotta love those silk shirts. Especially when one has a lovely glow like Cameron.
