Vivienne Westwood's unstructured vest


Vivienne Westwood always seems to get it perfectly right with edgy, trendy separates, like this asymmetrical vest from her Anglomania collection. With its triangular hem and unstructured silhouette, the cropped vest features a faint stripe detail and a lovely, lustrous texture in gray. This beautifully made piece meshes just as easily with its matching skirt as with a pair of colorful matchstick jeans. In fact, a great simple ensemble would pair the vest with some low-slung trousers or even buttoned up over a silk shirtdress--an outfit that would totally ooze informal elegance.

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.
