Strapless Tops

Take the straps off a top and something happens, shoulders on show, neckline clean, and suddenly you look like you’ve made an effort you absolutely have not. That’s the strapless top’s whole trick. It’s the piece that turns jeans into a going-out look and shorts into a holiday one, no styling degree required. Bandeau, corset, tube, satin, we’ve got the lot, in black and white through to red, pink and denim, sizes 4 to 20. Free UK delivery over £135.

Bandeau, bustier and everything bare

Strapless covers more ground than you’d expect. A simple bandeau is your warm-weather basic, easy under a blazer or out on its own. A corset or bustier adds structure and a bit of a cinch, so it stays put and shapes you at the same time. A tube top is the low-key everyday version, and a satin or draped one is pure evening. Then there are the twists, an asymmetric edge, a tie-back, a folded sweetheart neckline. Black and white are the ones you’ll wear on repeat, but red, pink, brown, blue and a good denim are all worth the room in your wardrobe.

Made for warm nights and warmer holidays

Strapless is at its best when there’s a bit of heat and a bit of occasion. A satin one is your answer for a rooftop dinner or a summer engagement do, all bare shoulders and glow. A denim or corset style with wide-leg trousers is a great festival-season look that isn’t just shorts again. On a hot holiday, throw a bandeau over your matching set bottoms and you’re sorted from beach to dinner. And because the shoulders are the moment, this is where a bold earring or a slick of gloss does more than any necklace could. Layer a shirt over the top when it cools, straps optional.

Bare it all

The wider tops edit has every neckline, and the going-out tops are full of after-dark picks. Chasing the bare-shoulder look on a full outfit? A party dress or a coordinated vacay two-piece takes it there.
