This black satin crop top is built around one detail that does all the work: a thick gold chain that crosses the chest and ties the entire look together. The fabric gathers at the center front into a twist, leaving a cutout below. The back is fully open, tied at the waist with a fabric knot.
It pairs with the high-waist black pants shown here, and that combination reads cocktail-ready from every angle. The open back means a traditional bra is not an option, so it works best for those comfortable going without or using adhesive.
Wear it to a holiday party, a New Year's Eve dinner, or a night out where the dress code is anything but casual. The gold chain does the accessorizing for you, so keep the rest of the jewelry simple.
