On Sale: Vivienne Westwood's bondage-inspired top

There's much to love about this black--but totally not basic--top from Vivienne Westwood. What starts out as a plain sweater is pushed to another level with a sash tied around the waist and unique sleeve detailing at the elbow and wrist. The neckband that crosses over at your throat actually goes under your arms and around the back, which strikes me as a very sexy, bondage-inspired element. Apparently, the neckband can be tied into a bow or rearranged in a variety of ways to change up the look. I love the boldness of this top, especially how the V-neckline is accentuated by the criss-crossing neckband. Imagine tucking this shirt into a pair of high-waisted pants for work or playing it lowkey with dark jeans for the weekend.
