Leg Avenue Lace and Net Keyhole Crossover Halter Teddy - 1x/2x

Red, keyhole, crossover halter, done. The lace sits against net panels so the piece has contrast built in, and the halter crosses behind the neck rather than clasping, which keeps the back open and the front exactly where you set it.

Styling this is mostly about the leg: sheer black thigh highs make it classic, fishnets make it louder, bare legs and a heel keep it simple. The keyhole is the detail that photographs, so if the evening involves a camera, put the light in front of you rather than above. Hand wash in cool water, on its own for the first few washes since red dye can move, and lay flat to dry rather than hanging, which stretches halter straps.

A halter that crosses instead of buckling means no hardware pressing at the back of the neck, which is the difference between a teddy you wear all evening and one you take off after an hour.
