Celia Le Diamant: Top

Let’s address the elephant in the room: The Celia le Diamant top retails between $280 and $450 USD, depending on the fabric (the cashmere blend version is closer to the latter).

At first glance, the Celia le Diamant Top is deceptively simple. It is a structured yet fluid sleeveless top, typically characterized by a high neckline (often a mock neck or a sharp crew neck) and a distinct architectural drape. The "Diamant" in its name—French for "diamond"—refers to the geometric, angular cut of the fabric panels that seam together to create a silhouette that flatters the collarbone and torso like a faceted gemstone.

Unlike basic bodysuits or standard knit tops, the Celia le Diamant Top relies on negative space and tension.

Tuck the top into a pair of wide-leg, floor-sweeping trousers in a matching neutral palette (cream on cream, or black on charcoal). Because the Diamant top has a high neckline, leave the top button of your blazer undone. Add a thin leather belt at the waist to define the transition from top to trouser.
