When is the last time you spotted cotton looking so dramatic? Intricate threads of black and ivory fabric make for a spectacularly dramatic effect laced across Yves Saint Laurent‘s gold-plated teardrop earrings. Like sensual fishnet to adorn your earlobes, the airiness of the tightly stitched lacing is a fine juxtaposition against the heavily ridged gold gleam. Which is why these jewels demand an updo. The beauty is in noticing the surprising vacancy in the middle of the hoops – that’s when the delicacy of the stitched cotton really presents itself. On Net-a-Porter
Pair with: Do double duty with the sheer effect and wear a coyly skin-revealing bodysuit. Shakuhachi‘s stretch-lace is just suggestive enough, with a convenient jersey shelf bra built in. On ShopBop
