The boots are the loud ones. A black wool blazer, cut out at the waist, closed on one button over a fine mesh top. Black leather wide-leg trousers. Silver boots. One metallic piece. I am not a disco ball. Wear it on a rooftop at sunset. Stay for the dark.

A black cut-out blazer buttoned over a mesh top, leather wide-leg trousers and silver pointed boots, on a rooftop as the sun goes.

A single-button blazer in black wool with a long line, sharp shoulders and a curved cut-out at each side of the waist, backed in black mesh so the shape reads without the draught. The sleeves are pushed up to show a satin cuff lining. Underneath, a fine black mesh top with a round neck, there for texture, with the blazer kept buttoned over it.

The trousers are black leather, high-waisted and straight through a wide leg, with a seam across the knee that keeps them from looking like a costume. Silver metallic pointed boots are the one loud decision, and they are allowed exactly that much. It works for rooftop drinks, a late dinner, any evening from autumn to spring when the wind is polite.

Black on black on black, then silver feet. I call that restraint.
