Neil Barrett Black Silk Metal Detail Silk Blouse Tunic Top, 2015

Having worked for several fashion icons such as Gucci and Prada, English designer Neil Barrett launched his career in menswear, launching his own brand in 1999. His signature style is a sportier look that takes a light-hearted take at high-end style, carefully curating the balance of his silhouettes. This circa 2015 blouse is done in a medium black silk.

Heavily gathered around a scoop neckline, this tunic billows down to a slightly dropped waistline with a dramatic blouson that transitions into a straight panel of the bottom. Three-quarter elastic bishop sleeves mirror this, creating a continuous look across the body that brings out the excitement by the heavily gathered fabric. Around the neck, a silver metal detail adds as bit of extra detail. Casual and classy, this light tunic top can be easily styled with a contrasting skinny jean or cigarette pant to create a perfect balanced silhouette for a modern outfit.
