Satin, one shoulder, and sleeves with opinions. A black satin jumpsuit cut on the slant, fan-pleated puff sleeves, waist cut-outs, a leg tapered to the ankle. Tan leather sandals, nearly flat. Tan, not black. I argued with myself and lost. Terrace, after dark.

A black satin jumpsuit with an asymmetric neckline, two fan-pleated puff sleeves, side waist cut-outs and a tapered leg. Glass house terrace, tan sandals.

A black satin jumpsuit with a neckline that runs off one shoulder and two sleeves that do not match the rest of it: short, fan-pleated and puffed out like folded paper, one on the covered shoulder and one sitting just below the open one. The bodice is draped across the front, the waist is cut away at both sides, and the trousers are high and tapered to the ankle, which keeps the top half from taking over.

Spring and summer evenings, a drink on a terrace where the house is glass and the garden is planned. Worn with flat-heeled tan leather sandals that lace across the foot, the only colour in the outfit and the reason it does not read as formal. Hand on the hip so the sleeve has something to do.

All black with tan sandals. The sandals were not consulted.

styling notes

  • Sandals flat or nearly, in tan; black shoes would flatten it
  • Hair down over the covered shoulder
  • Nothing at the waist; the cut-outs do the cinching
