Embellished Halter Neck Cami

A halter neck does most of the work of an outfit by itself. It leaves the shoulders and back bare, which is why this cami feels like an evening piece even though it is simple to wear. The embellishment sits across the front, catching light where you want it, and the tie fastening lets you set the neckline exactly where it sits best on you.

The fabric is 95% polyester, 5% elastane, so it is slightly stretchy and moves with you rather than staying rigid. This is a short cut: top length runs from 17.5 inches at S to 18.7 inches at XL, and the bust measures 28.3 inches at S through to 34.6 inches at XL. Those numbers mean it sits close to the body, so check them against your own before choosing. Three colours are offered: Apricot, Coffee Brown and Rose Red, spanning soft neutral through to a proper statement.

Pair it with a high waisted trouser or a long skirt so the shorter length works in your favour rather than against it. A tailored blazer over the top is the easiest way to take it from a dinner to somewhere that expects sleeves, and you can slip it off once you are seated. Keep necklaces off given the halter tie and the embellishment already at the neckline, and let earrings carry any extra shine.
