Metallic silver lurex catches the light across this sleeveless top, cut in a boxy, cropped silhouette that sits neatly at the high hip. A dramatic draped collar folds softly at the neckline, and the back closes with a row of buttons that continue the same silver fabric down the spine. Two flap pockets sit at the waist for a tailored finish, and the lining inside carries the original Sterling Toronto label.
If you love a boxy, relaxed fit through the body, this piece will suit you well. Wear it over a straight skirt or tailored trousers for evening, letting the collar and pockets do the talking, or pair it with denim for a more casual ensemble that still catches the light. Simple drop earrings or bold statement jewels will take it easily from day into night.
