Now I know that sultry summer nights and black leather do not mix well, and this top might not be something you’d wear when hitting the town on that hot July night, but until temperatures start soaring that high, and well after they start cooling down again, this T By Alexander Wang Leather Top is the stuff (my) dreams are made of.

Not to be associated with biker gear or the local Hell’s Angels, this top is the epitome of class and elegance, but with an edge that keeps it from becoming a snooze fest. Gorgeous soft, supple black lamb leather with inserted side slits for a looser fit and an elegant boat neck make for a statement piece that could easily be that one item that is the focal point of your wardrobe for years to come. With a dark wash or white skinny, stiletto sandals, pointy court or even a chunky ankle boot for a sleek but sexy look. Just add a blazer to make it office proof. Or combine it with a sensatiional pencil skirt or a pair of tuxedo shorts and show those legs! Endless combinations are at hand here, and that of course makes for a far better cost-per-wear!
