Velvet on a train. Correct. A burgundy velvet blazer draped across to one hip, a black satin slip dress under it, burgundy leather ankle boots to match the velvet, not the dress. I pack four outfits for one night. All of them were right. Wear it to a late dinner.

A burgundy velvet blazer draped across the body, over a black satin slip dress, with burgundy leather ankle boots.

A burgundy velvet blazer with the front cut and draped so that one side crosses the body diagonally to the opposite hip, with notched lapels, flap pockets and a cut-out at the waist where the drape pulls away. Sleeves pushed up and ruched. Underneath, a black satin slip dress with a V-neckline, fitted to just above the knee, and burgundy leather ankle boots with a block heel.

Velvet and satin, burgundy and black: a combination that has been around since trains had dining cars and still has not been improved on. Autumn and winter, a long journey with dinner at the end of it. Hair down, nothing in the hands, the luggage already somewhere else. I never pack light. I pack correctly.
