Few fabrics feel as luxurious as silk. Consequentially, few fabrics are as expensive as silk.

Satin feels strikingly similar to silk for a fraction of the price and most people won’t even be able to tell the difference. We found the 12 best silky pieces — all for under $60 — that will make you feel ritzy and sophisticated, even if you’re on a budget!
