16 Arlington Clio Top in Black, Tops for Spring/Summer 2026
The 16 Arlington Clio Top in Black is an authentic Black piece from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, crafted in Main 100% Polyester, Lace 52% Recycled Polyamide 47% Polyamide 1% Elastane and designed in London. Available now at Luxury Shoes , a curated luxury fashion retailer specialising in designer ready to wear with guaranteed authenticity and worldwide shipping. It carries the 16 Arlington signature: after dark glamour built on feather and sequin embellishment and fluid slip silhouettes. The London house made its name on going out dressing, and this piece is cut for the woman who wants one garment to do the work of an outfit.
Cut in black, the Clio Top brings the 16 Arlington hand for embellishment and fluid line to a top built for the evening. The Clio top is cut from black Japanese satin with hand-applied scalloped lace inserts creating dimension and texture. Adorned by hand-applied silver rivet detailing on the front and back, a branded metal plaque on the centre back finalises the metallic detailing. The minimal, slimline silhouette features a V-shaped neckline and adjustable straps for elevated style. It layers as easily over denim by day as it does under tailoring after dark.

How to Style the Clio Top in Black by Body Type
- Rectangle: 16 Arlington silhouettes love a defined waist. Belt the Clio Top in Black at the natural waist, then let the fabric introduce movement across the hip. A single sculptural earring keeps the focus on the line.
- Hourglass: The house cuts close to the body, so let the Clio Top in Black skim rather than cling. Fitted bodices, slip lines and waist detail flatter natural curves without effort.
- Tall: Column silhouettes and floor sweeping hems suit a tall frame. Style the Clio Top in Black with a metallic heel and let the drape carry the height.
- Petite: Choose a defined shoulder and a heel with lift. The proportions of the Clio Top in Black balance a shorter frame without adding bulk.
