As Seen On Our Feed - The Top The Internet Loves
The £34 M&S cowl-neck top we're wearing for party season
Dark chocolate satin, a draped neckline and a fringe finish. This is the going-out top the internet is obsessed with.
Some party pieces need an entire outfit planned around them. This £34 satin cami from M&S is the outfit.
The dark chocolate satin feels luxurious, while the cowl neckline and fringe detail makes it look much more expensive than it is.
It's the sort of top we'd reach for time and time again, for drinks after work, dinner out or an evening when you need something a little more elegant.

Why this top caught our eye
First, the colour. Chocolate brown has all the versatility of a dark neutral but feels a little less predictable for an evening outfit. It works particularly well with black tailoring, deep burgundy, cream and metallic accessories.
Then there's the shape. A cowl neckline creates a soft drape across the front, while the fringe brings movement to an otherwise simple cami. That combination makes it an easy starting point for an outfit rather than something you have to keep adding to.
For petite dressing, we love that this comes in petite sizes with petite proportions considered. This means that gorgeous fringe detail will land exactly where you want it to.
Three ways to style it
The top is the statement. Keep the rest of the outfit considered, rather than competing for attention.
With black tailored trousers
Start with high-waisted, straight-leg or softly wide-leg trousers and pointed shoes. The tailored shape balances the movement of the fringe, while a defined waist helps keep the proportions in check. Add a small black bag and gold earrings.
With a satin midi skirt
For dinner or an evening event, try a slim midi skirt in chocolate, black or cream. Keeping the colours close creates a more continuous line, and a more elevated look.
With dark denim and a blazer
What to check before you buy
This isn't being presented as a petite-specific fit, so we'd check the length rather than assume it will sit in the same place as it does on the model.
Pay particular attention to the shoulder straps, the depth of the cowl and where the fringe lands against your waistband. Those three details will make the biggest difference to how the top looks on a shorter frame.
If you want to emphasise your waist, try it with high-rise trousers or a skirt before deciding whether you need to tuck it. The fringe may look better left free, depending on where the hem finishes.
