Bronze trousers. I blame the lighting. A fitted black leather blazer with pointed, padded shoulders, buttoned and worn on its own. Crinkled bronze metallic wide-leg trousers that catch every streetlamp. I don't sparkle. The trousers do it for me, and they don't ask. Pointed boots under the hem. Go out after ten.

A fitted black leather blazer with pointed, padded shoulders over crinkled bronze lamé trousers that catch every bit of light in the alley.

The blazer is black leather, cut tight to the waist with one covered button and a hem that dips to a point at the front. The shoulders are the event: padded, squared and drawn out to a sharp corner, with the sleeves pushed up past the forearm. It is worn buttoned, on its own. The trousers are bronze lamé, crinkled so the surface breaks into vertical light, high-waisted and wide enough to swallow the shoe entirely.

It is night-out tailoring for autumn and winter, when the light is low and the metallic can do its work. Hair pulled back keeps the shoulder line clean; a pointed boot under the trouser, a small black bag if anything. The trousers could carry a room on their own.

The fire escape is not for her. She would use the stairs in these trousers.
