Black, obviously. A black wool blazer with the leather straps built in, straps crossing the waist over two cut-outs. Worn as a top. Wide-leg wool trousers to the floor, pointed pumps. It looks complicated. It isn't. I just let people think so. Wear it to an opening, lapel open to the second button.
A black wool blazer with built-in leather straps crossing the waist over side cut-outs, worn with wide-leg trousers and pointed pumps.
A black wool blazer with a notch lapel and two buttons, worn as a top on its own, with black leather straps built into it: one buckled strap runs over the right shoulder, two more cross the waist and pull it in, and the fabric between them is cut away into a narrow cut-out at each side. Below, black wool wide-leg trousers with a pressed crease and a high waist, and black leather pointed pumps.
Read from a distance it is a plain black suit, which is the trick. Up close the straps do what a belt would, only sharper. Wear it to the office if the office can take a little hardware, to dinner afterwards, to anything with a speech. Autumn and winter with a coat over the straps; the lapel stays open to the second button. Small hoops, the black smartwatch, the beaded bracelet, hair straight and centre-parted.
Two sculptures behind her and the suit still gets the room.
