Knit Rib Contrast Detail Top

A vertical contrast stripe runs off-centre from the high neck to the hem, creating a strong graphic line that draws the eye rather than following the conventional seam placement. A column of ornate gold-tone buttons traces that contrast panel - purely decorative, but doing a great deal of work in making this feel considered rather than casual. The fine rib knit skims the body without pulling, holding its shape through the shoulders and torso whilst the viscose content gives it a cool, smooth handfeel against the skin. Contrast stripe detailing continues down the sleeve seams, extending the vertical line all the way to the wrist for a cohesive, intentional finish. High neck sits close without feeling restrictive - structured enough to stand on its own without layering, which keeps the silhouette clean. The rib knit cuts a precise, close silhouette - not tight, but assured. It sits neatly through the torso and holds its line whether you're seated or standing, making it one of those tops that photographs as well as it wears in person. The off-centre button detail is the piece's real point of difference: it shifts the visual weight just enough to feel architectural rather than simply striped. Tuck it into wide-leg tailored trousers, as the model wears here, and the high neck and long sleeves do the rest - no accessories needed beyond a simple earring. For the office, pair with a sharp-cut blazer in a tonal shade; the contrast panel will still read through an open front. Come evening, the gold buttons catch the light just enough to carry the top from desk to dinner without any change of outfit. This is a piece that works hardest when the rest of the look is kept deliberately restrained. | Karen Millen Women's Knit Rib With Contrast Detail Top in Mono | Size: Large
