Women's Brown Bandage Figure Form Cut Out Knitted Long Sleeved Top

High neck with a cluster of horizontal cut-out slits sitting just below the collarbone - the detail reads as architectural rather than overtly revealing. Vertical bandage-style panels run the full length of the body, pulling the silhouette in at the waist and giving the top a sculpted, corseted shape without any boning. Long sleeves with a close fit through the arm keep the look composed, letting the neckline detail carry all the visual weight. The elastane content means the top moves with the body and holds its shape throughout wear, sitting smoothly without pulling or bunching. A defined peplum-like flare at the hem gives the waist a nipped-in finish, making it easy to tuck into high-waisted pieces or wear free-standing. The bandage construction does the work here - the top sits close to the body and skims the torso in a way that a standard knit simply does not. Those vertical seams draw the eye downward, creating a long, neat line from shoulder to hip. The cut-out detail at the neck introduces just enough interest to make this a piece that stands on its own, without the need for statement jewellery to compete. Tucked into wide-leg tailored trousers, as styled here, the silhouette is sharp and considered - the kind of combination that works equally well at a formal dinner, a wedding, or a cocktail event. For the races or a graduation, pair with a sleek midi skirt and strappy heeled sandals. The high neck also makes it a strong choice for cooler-season occasions where a strapless or low-cut option would feel impractical. A structured blazer thrown over the top transitions it effortlessly into an evening out. | Karen Millen Bandage Figure Form Cut Out Knitted Long Sleeved Top in Chocolate | Size 6 Colour: brown
