Black Bardot top and trousers with a leather jacket

An Albaray black Bardot top and Thinking MU Rina trousers form a dark evening base beneath Baukjen's Kara leather jacket. The open neckline adds a dressier note, while the jacket brings metal hardware and a more defined outer shape. Consider the combination for dinner or an informal evening event when you want an alternative to a dress.

Why it works

Black across all three pieces makes the open neckline and jacket details more noticeable than the colours.
The top's simple shape gives the jacket's lapels and fastenings a quiet background.

How to wear it

Wear the jacket open to reveal the Bardot neckline rather than covering the top's main detail.
Try black ankle boots for a continuous dark line, or simple flats for a more relaxed dinner.
