Padded, squared, done. A black leather blazer closed on one button, worn as a top. Cotton cargo trousers with webbing straps and silver buckles, platform boots. The buckles are the only hardware I allow. Rooftop at the last light, no bag.

A sharp-shouldered leather blazer over buckled cargo trousers, shot on a rooftop as the light goes orange.

The blazer is black leather with padded, squared shoulders and an asymmetric front that closes on one button and falls to a point at the hip. It is cut close through the waist so the shoulders do the talking. Underneath, the cargo trousers are black cotton twill with patch pockets on the thigh, webbing straps that hang loose at the sides and silver side-release buckles across the knee and the calf. The hems are elasticated and sit on black platform ankle boots with a block heel.

This is a late-afternoon look for autumn or a cool spring evening: the blazer is warm enough on its own, and the trousers are loose enough to sit on a ledge in. Keep the blazer closed on the single button, worn as a top on its own, and let the straps swing. Small hoops, the smartwatch, the beads. A bag would get in the way of the pose.

Buckles are the only jewellery a trouser needs.
