The belt goes over the jacket. Trust me. A black wool blazer with the waist cut away, no shirt under it, cinched with a leather belt and an engraved western buckle. Black satin wide-leg trousers. The buckle is the only thing I polish. Wear it to a casino floor. Pointed heel.

A black wool blazer with the waist cut away, belted over with an engraved western buckle, and black satin wide-leg trousers underneath.

A black wool blazer with the waist cut away: two clean windows at the sides where the fabric stops, the rest kept strictly tailored with a padded shoulder, two buttons and flap pockets. Under it, no shirt. Below it, black satin wide-leg trousers that break wide over the shoe and catch the loft light on every fold.

The belt is doing the work. Black leather with an engraved silver western buckle and matching tip, cinched over the blazer at the natural waist so the cut-outs read as design rather than damage. Wear it to the office if the office can take it, to dinner if it cannot. Autumn through spring: wool on top, satin below, hair down over the lapels, and the black smartwatch is the only other hardware allowed.

The blazer is tailored. The waist is optional.

styling notes

  • Belt over the blazer, at the natural waist, so the cut-outs sit above it
  • No shirt under the jacket
  • Pointed black heel hidden under the satin hem
  • Small hoops only; the buckle is the jewellery
