A soft sheen that does the work for you

Satin has a smooth face and a gentle shine that catches light without ever shouting. A satin suit looks dressed up the moment you put it on, so you need very little else. Rich shades like fuchsia, emerald and mustard look especially vivid under evening lights.

There's more than one kind here. Our PRF'T Lux duchess satin sets are matte and structured, with Swiss and Schiffli embroidery in cream, pink, blue and sweet pea. They're subtle enough for a festive day at the office. The chiffon satin ombre kurtas in rarity, chocolate green and green blue are softer and more fluid.

For bigger evenings, the dual shade satin Anarkalis in fuchsia and orange yellow shift colour as you move, with glass beads at the neck. If you'd rather have it tailored, the mauve organza satin unstitched set comes with hand beading.

Many of these are sleeveless, so a jacket makes them winter-ready. Keep accessories gold or pearl and let the fabric lead. For other fabrics with a glow, see our silk and Chanderi suits, or head to our party suits for evening picks.
