• All-over sequin embellishment on a velvet base, catching light from every angle
• Dramatic puff sleeves with a structured, voluminous silhouette that tapers at the cuff
• High funnel neckline for a refined, covered-up finish that lets the texture do the talking
• Cut-out back detail adds an understated element of interest without overplaying it
• Fully lined for a smooth, comfortable wear throughout the night

This top operates on contrast - covered up at the front, with a cut-out back that reveals just enough. The puff sleeve and funnel neck give it a sculptural quality that reads as considered rather than costume. It is the kind of piece that works hardest when styled with restraint: pair it with tailored wide-leg trousers or a sleek midi skirt in a dark, muted tone, as seen on the model here. Keep accessories minimal - a single drop earring or a fine chain is all it needs. The sequin surface means the top carries an evening look on its own, making it well-suited to cocktail bars, late dinners, or any occasion where the dress code sits somewhere between smart-casual and dressed up. Wear it tucked in to define the waist, or let it skim the hip for a more relaxed proportion.
