I know we've talked about exposed zippers and how much we love them, but really, I'm loving hardware in general in fashion right now. Whether it's a bag, a boot, a dress, or a coat-- the zippers, buckles, snaps, pulls, studs can make a huge difference. They can turn something ordinary into something drool-worthy. Exhibit A, Derek Lam's Draped Jersey Top.
Yes, the draping is divine and the rich royal blue color is gorgeous. But what really makes this top special (and worth the $690!) are the brass studs that line down the left side. It's so simple but so brilliant. Wear it with skinny pants or a mini for a night out, or pair it with the matching Draped Jersey Skirt and you've got a sleek and sophisticated outfit for anything from a power meeting to a cocktail party. This top can be worn just about anywhere and for any occasion. But regardless of how you're wearing it, you know you're going to look fabulous!
