Party-Ready Satin Tops

The zipper trim gives a beautiful cap-sleeve design edge. Pair with floor-grazing black trousers and sparkly duster earrings.

The gathered drawstring detail and cutout shoulder makes this the of-the-moment satin top. Wear with a midi skirt and slouchy boots for a fashion-girl result.

A belted long-sleeved silhouette is timeless and perfect with trousers for the office or after-hours. Swipe on a red lip and change from flats to pumps for evening.

An asymmetrical design complete with loose cascading ruffles is sure to turn heads (and impress your date). If you're looking to elevate your skinny jeans, this one is for you.

A shoulder-baring long-sleeved blouse is flirty yet modest. Try a monochromatic ensemble by teaming with a white or cream skirt and metallic heels.

This draped one-shoulder number is a showstopper. With a white blazer and wide-leg pants, it's painfully chic.

Rust is unexpected and fashion-forward. Velvet pants or a pencil skirt take the wrap to another level.

Wear this ruched spaghetti strap option alone or over a tee if you're looking to dress it down. Go for an all-black look that's anything but boring with fitted pants, ankle-strap heels and layered necklaces.

Textured satin looks amazing on this flattering crossover design. Wear with anything from pants to skirts or try its matching piece.

A sexy cami with barely there straps is a versatile one you can easily don beyond the holidays. Throw on a sparkly tux jacket now and wear it with denim later.

This off-the-shoulder style is utterly feminine. Style with black jeans, embellished shoes and sleek hair.

A flowy silhouette is impactful alongside other billowy items such as palazzo trousers. Adorn with a structural cuff for a modern effect.

Printed satin is a fun, dressed-up alternative to a cotton blouse. Try satin on satin with a black silky skirt.
