Grana Review Silk Collarless Shirt

So I realize I'm a bit late in the game on this review since Grana has had this item forever and I've already wrote many many reviews of Grana's silk items (and have firmly established that I love their 22mm Georgette Satin over their 14mm crepe de chine).  But I saw an outfit on Pinterest the other day of a fairly masculine look consisting of a navy silk shirt and some loose fitting dark denim pants.  So I tried recreating it with Grana for the top and bottom.  What do you think?

Personally, I kind of like it.  

As for the actual silk collarless shirt, I think it's just alright.  In fact this shirt might be my least favorite silk item from Grana yet.  That's probably because this shirt is only a single layer of their crepe de chine silk, as opposed to their silk ankle pants which is a double later (and I looooove their silk ankle pants). 

In the winter I find that when I layer this shirt with a sweater, the silk has some crazy static and really clings to my body (I should probably research how to prevent that, but then I just end up wearing cotton and wool sweaters so don't feel the need to look into that).  I think at this point I'm seriously all talked out about silk, especially Grana's 14mm crepe de chine.  But ironically I find myself wearing their silk ankle pants and silk culottes almost daily.  Plus I got another (sponsored) package from Grana of their new silk items (the joggers, the vest, and their mini v-neck slip dress) so I'll be talking about silk some more.  So guess I'm not quite done yet!

But if you're interested in this shirt or some of Grana's other silk items (which are better trust me), first time buyers can get 10% off their purchase with this link (and thanks for all those who support/supported me by clicking the link!)
