This leather sleeveless top is minimalist. No surprises, and no mistakes either.The simple rear zip and darting at the chest are essentially the only ornamentations. But don’t be misled by the simplicity of the design. This fashion creation is abundant with subtle features.
It’s not just the sumptuous midnight black or burgundy leather that makes the piece elegant. It’s the very blankness of its construction. The absence of features almost embarrasses other more ornate tops. There’s nothing to hide, nothing to apologize for.
Listen: the “over the top” praise aside, what this all means, in practical reality, is this:
• You can wear this top not just this season but for years or even decades to come. (Betsy has worn The Row’s leather leggings for three years)
• It will look great with all sorts of different outfits.
• You can wear it for practically any occasion (save, perhaps, for mud wrestling, since the leather and mud are not exactly BFFs).
The top is also a study in wonderful contrasts. It’s soft femininity and hard-edged rocker girl intertwined. It’s at once delicate-and-soft and also commanding-and-daring. It’s a bit dangerous. So if you’re proud of yourself and proud of your body, let the world know. Demonstrate that pride. Also, it feels and breathes great, too, which is a big plus, when it comes to fall wear!
