The blazer goes to the gym. I go for coffee. An olive scoop-neck sports top, olive high-waisted leggings with black side panels, and a long black single-breasted wool blazer, sleeves pushed to the forearm. I have opinions about trousers. Today, the opinion was leggings. Walk it fast.

An olive sports top and high-waisted leggings with black side panels, under a long black blazer, walked straight down the sidewalk.

The set is olive: a scoop-neck sports top with a wide underband, and high-waisted leggings with curved seams at the knee and a black panel running down the outside of each leg, which does the work a stripe would do without saying anything. Over it, a long single-breasted black blazer, unbuttoned, sleeves pushed up to the forearm.

This is the walk to training, or back from it, at the hour the street is mostly shadow. Plain black trainers, a steel bottle in one hand, a towel over the opposite shoulder, and the blazer carrying the rest. It works in spring and early autumn, anywhere the coffee counter comes before the gym. Swap the towel for a tote and nobody asks where you are going.

The blazer does the talking. I do not, until after coffee.
