Burgundy leather jacket with a wide collar and satin shorts

A cropped burgundy leather jacket with a shawl-wide folded collar over high-waisted burgundy satin shorts, on a dressing-room floor.

A cropped burgundy leather jacket with a collar so wide it folds over the shoulders like a shawl, the points falling to the chest. The leather is smooth and matte, the sleeves long and narrow with a deep cuff, and the body ends at the waist where it meets the shorts. Those are burgundy satin, high-waisted and pleated at the front, with a wide self-fabric waistband and a short hem.

Leather on top, satin below, both the same wine. It is a night look for spring and early autumn: the jacket replaces a coat, the shorts replace a skirt, and the shoes should be a black pointed heel or a flat loafer depending on how long the night is. No tights. Hair down over the collar.

Dressing room floor, bulbs on. Nobody is coming to get me and I am fine with that.
