Seven in the evening, still black, still here. A black cage swimsuit, straps crossed at the front, under a burnout kimono, black linen wide-leg trousers worn loose. Barefoot. Straps where a neckline should be. The engineering holds. Kimono open, iced coffee, no plans.

Golden hour at a desert pool: a black cage swimsuit under a burnout kimono, black linen trousers, an iced coffee.

A black one-piece with a high neck and strap cut-outs across the front, the straps doing the work. Over it, a long black kimono in lightweight burnout fabric with a leaf pattern that goes opaque in the sun. Black linen wide-leg trousers with a drawstring waist finish it, pooled at the ankle, no shoes needed.

Pool to dinner without changing: the trousers make the swimsuit a top, the kimono makes the whole thing a look. Summer, obviously, and the kind of heat that justifies iced coffee at seven in the evening. Sit in the shade, let the kimono catch the breeze, and do not get into the water with any of it on.

All black by a pool is a choice. The sun agrees with it.
