The details that make them Esber
Three things recur. The drape is cut into the pattern, so the fabric falls in folds without being pinned. The ruching is gathered onto hardware, which holds it in place. And the hardware itself, brass rings, crystal trims and natural stones, is left visible as part of the design.
Day tops and evening tops
- Everyday: the Bezel Quartz Ruched Tee and Salacia Ruched Long Sleeve Top with denim, such as the Deconstruct Denim Jean.
- Dinner: the Ripple Drape Top with tailored trousers.
- Evening: the Aurelia Sculpted Spiral Drape Top with its matching skirt, the Invert Silk Gwen Cami with the silk Gwen skirt.
Many of the tops come with a matching skirt. Read our guide to Christopher Esber skirts and sets.
How they fit
The jersey tops stretch and hold close to the body; the silk and woven pieces follow the measurements more strictly. The brand lists pieces such as the Salacia Ruched Long Sleeve Top as true to size. Sizes are Australian, which equals UK. See the Christopher Esber size guide.
