Silk blouses and soft knitwear sit at the centre of a lot of work wardrobes, and DAISYSILK builds much of its range around them. This piece is for anyone weighing up a silk top or a cashmere-silk layer and wanting the facts first: fabric, fit, care and what happens if it doesn’t suit.
We compared the product pages, care notes and returns policy on the brand’s store. We picked three pieces that show the range well, and we point out where each one has limits.
In short: the pleated blouse is the clearest work-wardrobe pick, the open-front cardigan is the easiest layer, and the knitwear needs a close look at sizing and care before you order.
What DAISYSILK sells
The store covers silk blouses, dresses, skirts, pyjama sets, bedding and a cashmere and silk knitwear collection. Silk items state their fabric weight in the name, such as 22 Momme or 30 Momme, which makes comparing pieces simpler than guessing from a photo.
Below, we look at three pieces in turn, then at the care and returns rules that decide whether a silk or cashmere purchase is a comfortable one. Each section says who the piece is for and where it falls short, so you can skip to the item that matches what you need.
The 22 Momme pleated blouse
The 22 Momme Silk V-Neck Pleated Blouse is made from 100% silk crepe. It is sleeveless, with a clean V-neckline and delicate pleating at the front. The brand describes the fabric as smooth, with a subtle luster and a fluid drape.
It comes in Rose Pink, Ivory, Champagne, Black and Navy, in sizes XXS to XXXL, which is a wide size run for a silk top. The brand positions it for commuting and office days: wear it alone with tailored trousers, or tuck it under a blazer or cardigan.
Because it is sleeveless, it layers well, but it is a light piece for cooler months unless you add a knit over it. Check the size guide before choosing a size.

The open-front pocket cardigan
The Cashmere Silk Open-Front Pocket Cardigan is a blend of cashmere and silk with a relaxed, mid-length shape, no buttons and side pockets. The brand says it is meant for workdays, travel and weekends, and suggests wearing it over a blouse or camisole.
It comes in Cream, Light Gray and Light Pink, in one size only. That keeps the choice easy, but anyone who prefers a precise fit should think twice about a single size.
Pairing it with the pleated blouse above gives a simple two-piece work outfit, and the pockets make it practical for commuting. The open front also means it never has to be fastened, which suits changing temperatures on a train or in an air-conditioned office.
The saddle shoulder sweater
The Cashmere Silk Saddle Shoulder Relaxed Sweater uses a cashmere and silk blend with a marled yarn, which adds subtle tonal variation to the knit. It has saddle shoulders and a wide-cut silhouette, and the brand suggests wearing it with tailored trousers or with denim.
Colours are Camel, Gray and Beige, and sizes are M and L only. That narrow size range is its main limit: if you are outside it, the wider cashmere sweater and cardigan range may serve you better. The photo above shows a marled knit from the store’s knitwear range, so check the product page for the exact look of this sweater.
Care and returns to check first
Silk and cashmere both ask for gentle handling. The store’s silk care guide recommends cold or lukewarm water, a pH-neutral detergent, no bleach or fabric softener, and air drying away from direct sun. The knitwear pages say to hand wash cold and never tumble dry.
The returns policy has firm conditions. You need to email support within 15 days of receiving the order, and the item must reach the store within 60 days of purchase, unused, unwashed and with tags attached. Return postage is paid by the buyer unless the item is faulty or incorrect. Underwear, socks and face masks cannot be returned.
Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere
If you want a polished silk top for work with a broad size run, the pleated blouse is the strongest starting point. If you want an easy knit layer, the cardigan is the simplest. The sweater suits people within its two sizes who are happy to hand wash.
It is less suited to anyone wanting machine-wash-only convenience for knitwear, or anyone who may need to return an item after trying it in a way that marks it. Read the care and returns details before you order.
