Crochet Lace Hem Sleeve Button Top in Black

Black tops are easy to buy and easy to forget. This one has a reason to be remembered: crochet lace runs along the hem and the sleeves, so the outline of the top is soft and detailed while the body stays solid and simple. It is a fun, flirty piece that still behaves like a basic when you need it to.

That contrast is the whole design. The solid black keeps the top versatile enough to wear with anything, and the lace makes it feminine without turning it into an occasion piece. There is a button detail at the front. Material composition is 95% polyester, 5% spandex, which gives it a slight stretch so it follows your shape comfortably, and the fabric is opaque. The cut is close through the body: bust runs from 32 inches at size S to 43 inches at 2XL, with the waist a few inches under. Front length sits between 24 and 27 inches, and the hem width is cut wider than the waist so the bottom flares gently rather than gripping. Sizes are S through 2XL.

The lace hem is worth showing, so this top wants to be worn out rather than tucked. High waist jeans and sandals let the crochet edge sit right where it should. A denim skirt works for the same reason. If you want to dress it up, white trousers and a heeled sandal turn it into an evening top with no other changes, and gold jewelry sits well against the black. Layer a cropped denim jacket over the top and the lace still shows at the hem and cuff, which is a nice detail most jackets would hide. It is a good travel piece, since it packs flat and looks like more effort than it took.
