Retailer's description
Halterneck cut with a deep V-neckline that opens from the chest down to a single button fastening at the centre front - the waistcoat sits cropped, grazing just above the waist. Velvet fabric carries a dense short pile with a light-absorbing surface, meaning it drinks in the darkness of a night-out setting and catches the light differently as you move. The tailored waistcoat silhouette - with its structured front panels and open back - borrows from menswear tailoring and flips it into a going-out piece. Stretch elastane in the composition gives the velvet a close fit without pulling, so the waistcoat holds its shape through the night. The pointed hem at the centre front adds length to the front panel, creating a sharp finish that contrasts with the cropped sides. Bar nights and late starts call for a top that does the work without overcomplicating the outfit. This waistcoat earns its place precisely because it reads as intentional - the halterneck strap and plunging V make it unmistakably going-out, while the tailored structure keeps it sharp rather than simply revealing. The velvet pile shifts under club lighting in a way that no printed fabric can replicate. As seen on the model, it pairs directly with the matching velvet shorts for a co-ord that looks considered without being overdressed. If you're building a different outfit around it, high-waisted wide-leg trousers let the cropped length do its thing, or tuck it into a sleek midi skirt for a look that transitions from drinks to dancing. Keep jewellery minimal - a single fine chain sits well against the open neckline. Finish with a pointed-toe heel or strappy sandal to carry through the sharp tailoring of the front hem. | boohoo Women's Velvet Halterneck Waistcoat in Black | Size: 8 | Elastane/Polyurethane/Velvet
