Alexander McQueen Tops and Corsets: 34 In Stock, From $680

The corset is an Alexander McQueen signature, and in the current collection it has moved out of eveningwear and into pieces you can wear to lunch. That shift is the most interesting thing happening in the top half of this brand.

Coveti has 26 Alexander McQueen tops in stock in September 2026 plus eight knits, from $680 to $5,250. Here is the range.

The corsets

Lace Corset in Black and Lace Corset in White, both $2,880, are the purest expression: boned, structured, and built to hold their own shape. Chevron Stripe Corset Top, $3,490, carries the same construction in a tailoring stripe, which is what makes it wearable by day. Fil Coupe Floral Corset Top, $3,190, uses a weave where floated threads are clipped to leave a raised motif, slower than a jacquard and impossible to print.

The shirts

Nine in stock, and they are the quiet workhorses. Tuxedo Striped Shirt, $2,880, and Wishbone Silk Shirt, $2,440, both sit under a jacket without bulk. Wallpaper Floral Tie-Neck Shirt, $2,880, carries the house floral. Floral Embroidery Shirt, $3,490, is the one to wear alone.

The ruffled and draped tops

Ruffle Top, $2,740, in silk georgette with tonal ruffle detailing, a high neck and a cut-out. Ruffled Shirt in Black, $2,380, is the softer sibling. Floral Lace Organza Top, $2,880, floats lace between layers of organza, the same construction the house uses on its gowns. Floral Embroidery Asymmetric Top, $5,250, is the most expensive top in stock and the most worked.

The knits

Metallic Cable Knit Jumper, $4,060, is the statement knit. Lace Trim Peplum Cardigan, $3,190, adds a peplum to a cardigan, which is a tailoring move on a soft piece. Pointelle Knit Top, $2,440, and Off-The-Shoulder Knit Top, $1,500, are the two easiest to wear.

How to wear a corset top

Keep everything below it structured and everything above it bare. A corset with high-waisted tailoring reads deliberate; a corset with something loose reads like underwear. Take the bust measurement over whatever you plan to wear underneath, because a boned cup has no give and cannot be adjusted.

Sizes are listed in UK equivalents converted from the Italian ladder. The size guide has the table, and the trousers in stock are cut to sit under these.

What they cost

Tops in stock run $680 to $5,250, with a median near $2,410. Knitwear runs $1,500 to $4,060. That makes the top half the least expensive way into the house. The price guide covers every category.

Frequently asked questions

How much is an Alexander McQueen corset top?

The four corset pieces in stock at Coveti in September 2026 run from $2,880 for the Lace Corset in black and in white to $3,490 for the Chevron Stripe Corset Top.

Can you wear a McQueen corset as a top?

Yes, and the current collection is cut for it. The chevron stripe and fil coupe versions use tailoring fabrics rather than evening ones, which is what carries them into daytime. Pair with high-waisted tailoring and keep the rest plain.

What is fil coupe?

A weave in which extra threads are floated across the surface and then clipped, leaving a raised motif with cut ends. It is slower to produce than a jacquard and cannot be printed, which is why it sits above the plain tops in price.

How should a McQueen corset fit?

Close, with the boning holding the shape rather than compressing. Measure the bust over whatever you intend to wear underneath, because a moulded cup has no give. Sizes are listed in UK equivalents converted from the Italian ladder.

What is the cheapest Alexander McQueen top?

The least expensive top in stock is $680, and the Off-The-Shoulder Knit Top at $1,500 is the cheapest knit. Both sit well below the $2,410 median for the group.

Which McQueen top goes under a jacket?

The shirts. Tuxedo Striped Shirt at $2,880 and Wishbone Silk Shirt at $2,440 are both cut close enough to layer without bulk at the shoulder, which matters because a McQueen shoulder is cut tight.
