Day Birger Rio Silky Touch Evening Top in Black

The going-out top. Because sometimes jeans deserve better company than a T-shirt.

The Day Birger et Mikkelsen Rio Silky Touch Evening Top in Black is a women’s black evening top with a smooth, silky-touch finish and an elegant, dressed-up feel. It’s the kind of piece we love at BWD: enough glamour to change the mood of an outfit, but uncomplicated enough to wear with the trousers and jeans already in your wardrobe.

This was an easy yes. Great black top + jeans = dinner outfit sorted. No committee meeting required.

Why it made the cut

• The silky-touch finish gives black a little more depth and evening polish.
• Dressy without wandering into occasionwear territory.
• A brilliant partner for denim — our favourite way to stop an evening top feeling too formal.
• Equally good with black, grey or chocolate-brown tailoring.
• Add jewellery, heels and a great bag when you want more glamour; keep everything else simple when you don’t.
• One of those pieces that quietly solves the recurring “I’m going out — what on earth do I wear?” problem.

How to wear the Rio Evening Top

Our first choice? The Rio with the co-ord Barrollo pant from Day or soft blue barrel-leg jeans, a belt and a heel or pointed flat. Add gold jewellery and you’re out of the door.

For dinner, drinks or something requiring slightly more effort, pair it with wide-leg black trousers for a sleek tonal look. We’d also put it with chocolate brown — the combination of silky black and rich brown feels particularly good right now.

What top can you wear with jeans for an evening out? This is exactly the sort of thing. The Rio does the dressing up, the denim keeps everything cool. A very useful division of labour.

And please don’t save it for best. Beautiful clothes should be worn, not wait patiently for someone to send an invitation.

Care

The silky-touch finish deserves gentle treatment. Follow the garment care label, avoid unnecessary washing and steam rather than pressing directly where possible.

A top that makes jeans dinner-ready. Frankly, that’s the sort of evening-wear we can get behind.
