All-over sequin coverage on a velvet base - the sequins catch the light as the top moves, giving a shifting, multi-dimensional effect rather than a flat shimmer. Scoop neckline sits low enough to feel dressed-up without being overdone, framing the décolletage cleanly. Sleeveless cut with wide shoulder straps that hold their shape and keep the top sitting securely through the night. The velvet backing gives the sequins a soft, slightly gathered texture - it drapes close to the body without feeling restrictive. Elastane in the composition means the top moves with you and returns to its shape, making it a reliable pick for long nights out. This top earns its place at the front of the wardrobe from November through to New Year. It pairs directly with the matching sequin mini skirt as seen on the model - worn together, the co-ord reads as a full sequin look that needs nothing more than a pointed-toe heel to land. Broken up, the top works just as hard: tuck it into a tailored wide-leg trouser for a Christmas party that calls for something a touch more put-together, or layer a longline blazer over the top for the journey there. For Christmas Day itself, keep accessories simple - a single chain necklace and small hoops let the sequins do the talking. This is the kind of top that goes straight from the pre-drinks to the dancefloor without missing a beat.
