Off-The-Shoulder Stretch-Knit Top

The inevitable approach of winter doesn't have to mean wrapping up completely: Alexander McQueen makes a convincing case for showing a flash of skin with this stretch-knit top. Straddling the border between snug and sensuous, it's spun from a stretchy knitted fabric with ribbed panels decorating the neckline. Unlike the famously romantic label, this style forgoes blooms favouring a muted colour palette.

• 83% viscose, 17% polyester

Headed by Sarah Burton, Alexander McQueen continues to reinvent modern femininity with pieces that combine technical expertise with contemporary relevance. From statement dresses, shoes, boots and bags to luxury loungewear and outerwear, classic silhouettes are reimagined with asymmetric cuts and opulent embellishment.
