Black one-shoulder faux leather top with charcoal trousers

A black faux leather one-shoulder wrap top tucked into charcoal wool wide-leg trousers with silver D-ring tabs, on a rooftop at sunset.

A black faux leather top with one wide strap over the right shoulder, wrapped across the front in two panels with a cut-out opening between them at the neckline, tucked into charcoal wool wide-leg trousers. The top is fitted and matte, the trousers are soft and wide, and the balance is the point. The trousers are high-waisted with a pressed crease and a small silver D-ring tab at each hip. Black thin-strap sandals.

Office trousers, after-office top. The charcoal does the serious work and the faux leather does the rest. It is a warm-evening outfit: late spring to early autumn, drinks on a terrace, a dinner where the trousers get you in and the top makes the evening.

The D-rings hold nothing. They are there for morale.
