• Faux leather construction with a viscose backing that gives the top a soft drape and cool handfeel - it skims rather than clings
• High neck, sleeveless cut with structured shoulders that hold their shape without feeling stiff
• The standout detail: a wide ruched band across the midriff that gathers the fabric into deliberate folds, drawing the eye to the waist
• An asymmetric layered peplum hem sits below the ruching, adding dimension and movement at the hip
• Machine washable faux leather - the finish holds up without the upkeep of the real thing

A night out calls for something with a bit of edge, and this top delivers through structure rather than skin. The ruched midriff and asymmetric peplum do the work - there's enough going on at the waist that you don't need to overthink the rest of the outfit. The model pairs it with matching wide-leg faux leather trousers for a head-to-toe tonal look that feels considered without being overdressed. If a co-ord isn't your thing, it sits just as well tucked into a sleek mini skirt or worn over straight-leg trousers for drinks before a night out. A chunky bangle, as seen on the model, keeps the accessories minimal and lets the top speak. This one is built for bar lighting and late nights - the kind of piece that photographs well and feels even better in person.
