Burgundy wool peplum jacket with pleated satin midi skirt
A felted burgundy wool jacket with bell-shaped sculptural sleeves over a knife-pleated satin midi, black knee boots, a station concourse.
The jacket is felted burgundy wool, cut with a funnel neck that folds asymmetrically and sleeves that flare out from the shoulder like a bell before narrowing at the wrist. It is shaped at the waist and finishes in a stepped, pointed peplum, so it sits like a short coat but moves like a top. Underneath, a knife-pleated satin midi skirt in the same burgundy, with an uneven hem that dips at the sides.
It is a travelling outfit for cold months: wool up top, satin below, and black leather knee boots with a pointed toe to keep the pleats off the floor. A small black leather clutch in hand, nothing on the shoulder. It works for a long train, a meeting at the other end, and dinner after without changing anything.
Everyone on the benches was waiting for a train. I was waiting for the light to move.

styling notes
- Keep every layer in the same burgundy; the black boots are the only break
- Boots to the knee so the pleats never touch the floor
- A clutch, not a shoulder bag, so the sleeves stay clean
- Small hoops and the smartwatch, nothing else
