Black Bardot top and light jeans with a black tote

Albaray's black Bardot top gives pale, cropped Kings of Indigo jeans a dressier neckline, while a black Damson Madder tote repeats the top's colour. The wide-leg denim keeps the combination casual, making it a starting point for lunch or a day in town. It shows how one black top can work with everyday denim rather than an evening skirt.

Why it works

The tote repeats black away from the neckline, connecting the accessory to the top.
Light, wide-leg jeans give the closer-cut top a clear contrast in both shade and outline.

How to wear it

Try black flats to connect with the top and tote, or simple trainers for a more casual finish.
Tuck the top into the jeans if you want a clear waist above the wide-leg shape.
