• Lace fabric with a fine, open-worked construction - the floral pattern catches the light without relying solely on the sequins to do the work
• Sequins are scattered across the lace in a way that follows the floral motifs, so the sparkle feels deliberate rather than all-over
• The bateau neckline sits straight across the collarbone, giving the top a composed, covered-up silhouette despite the sheer body
• Long sleeves extend to the wrist and are fully worked in the same sequin lace - no contrast panels, no plain inserts
• A lined body sits beneath the sheer lace overlay, so the top works on its own without the need for layering underneath
• The elastane content in the lace gives it a slight stretch, meaning it moves with you rather than pulling across the shoulders

The festive party season is exactly where this top earns its place. The bateau neck keeps things polished enough for a Christmas dinner, while the sequin-scattered lace does all the talking once the lights go down at a night out. It hits at the hip with a straight, relaxed hem that tucks neatly into high-waisted trousers - the model wears it with sleek tailored trousers, which is the most direct route to a finished look. That combination works just as well for a work Christmas party as it does for a proper night out. If you want to show more of the lace, wear it half-tucked into a midi skirt with barely-there heels. The sheer overlay means the lining does the modesty work, so there's nothing to overthink - just put it on and go.
