# Three-Layer Silk Material Capsules LILYSILK Boasts the Comfortable and Chic SILKAIRY™ Collection By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-07-17 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silk-material References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lilysilk-introduces-silkairy-collection-a-lighter-expression-of-silk-for-modern-movement-302827353.html)  [LILYSILK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rustic-retreat) has expanded its [activewear offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-athleisure-collection) with the introduction of the SILKAIRY™ collection — a new line of apparel that reinterprets the brand's signature silk material for a more dynamic and unrestricted lifestyle. This innovation centers on a proprietary fabric construction that employs a three-layer air structure, which features smooth outer layers that preserve the classic softness and elegant drape of silk, while a hollow middle layer provides a cushioned sensation without the bulk. The integration of stretch fibers into this textile ensures that the resulting garments not only recover their shape but also facilitate a full range of motion. This approach to the silk material effectively bridges the gap between the [luxurious feel of traditional silk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spanx-airessentials) and the functional demands of modern movement. The SILKAIRY™ collection includes versatile pieces such as wide-leg lounge pants with refined tailoring, curve-hem shorts with sculpted panels, and tops like a half-zip and a cropped track jacket.
