Helene strappy top

Key features

Semi-fitted cut - the top gently follows the lines of the body, fitting more closely at the bust, waist and tummy. It is not tight, but it does not create a loose, flowing silhouette either.

Delicate shoulder straps - leave the shoulders, arms and collarbones bare, giving the design a light, feminine character.

Crossed strap detail at the back - the decorative design gives the simple style a modern accent.

Softly rounded neckline - creates an understated neckline that is easy to combine with a variety of jewellery.

Smooth, plain fabric - no prints, lace or extra embellishments, so the main design accent is the strap construction.

Lightly shaped silhouette - the cut follows the contours of the body more closely, so it can emphasise both the curve of the waist and the tummy area.

Standard length - the top reaches approximately to the top of the hips, so it can be worn loose or tucked into the waistband of trousers or a skirt.

Classic black shade - a versatile basic colour that works with calm neutrals as well as bright accents.

For everyday wear, pair it with high-waisted jeans, loosely falling trousers or an A-line skirt. For a more elegant look, choose wide black trousers or a satin midi skirt and delicate jewellery. If you want to draw less attention to the tummy area, pair the top with an open, slightly longer blazer or cardigan. Black looks especially beautiful with off-white, graphite grey, burgundy and emerald green. The crossed detail at the back stands out best when the top is worn without an outer layer.
