4 GOING-OUT TOPS TO LOVE

The exaggerated sleeve has, for what feels like many seasons now, been a wardrobe staple. And for AW17 the shirt gets an 80s injection to jazz up your night-time outfits, complete with puffed sleeves and a cowl neck. Add a mustard leather mini for another retro hit and a faux-croc shoulder bag, sock boots and layers of gold necklaces for some subtle grown-up glam.  

It doesn’t get more vintage than loud-and-proud animal print. Making its way to your PM getup in the form of a high-neck leopard-print blouse, the key to making this look work is to go hard on the throwback influence. Bright lilac tapered trousers, patent pointed boots and blinged-up earrings are the perfect accompaniment.

The easiest way to add some Insta-sass to any outfit? A dose of sheer, as exhibited by ASOS Insider Anna in this lycra star top. Employ a print clash-up for a more textured feel: think a pearl clasp mini skirt in this season’s go-to heritage checks. Finish off with cutesy tassel heels for a dreamy dinner-date look.

Oh-so-pretty with a flattering cropped length, the tie-front top is a blogger fave for a reason. Take notes on this egg-yolk silky number and go bright by adding bold high-waist trousers, plus chunky heels and a woven bag.
