Sometimes an evening look starts from the waist up. A well-chosen top sets the tone and anchors the entire outfit, pairing easily with pieces already in rotation. These are the styles to reach for on date nights, after-work plans, and evenings out with friends, considered, versatile, and designed to carry the look.

Defined and structured.
A clean corset silhouette creates a strong line through the waist and pairs easily with relaxed denim or tailored trousers. Worn on its own or layered under a jacket, it brings focus to shape.

A ’90s perspective.
Sheer layers and lace details are styled with trousers and a visible lace bra or camisole. The result is direct and considered, referencing minimal evening dressing of the decade.

Effortless by design.
Draped silks and satins create a polished look without added styling. Hair pulled back or simple accessories keep the focus on cut and fabric.

Fabric-led.
Jacquards, metallic weaves, and dimensional finishes introduce depth and interest through material rather than detail.
