Charcoal, crinkled, never ironed. A charcoal crinkled linen blazer, shoulders padded then cut open, a gunmetal satin bustier under it, charcoal trousers with leather panels down the sides. Never tie the sash. Tying things is for people who reply on time. Pointed boot, low pump, either.

Crinkled charcoal blazer with padded shoulders, shoulder cut-outs and a draped sash, over a satin bustier and leather-panelled trousers.

A charcoal blazer in crinkled linen with shoulders padded well past the body, split by narrow cut-outs where the sleeve meets the yoke. The front drapes across the waist and ends in a long sash that hangs to the knee. Under it, a gunmetal satin bustier; below, straight trousers in charcoal wool crepe with black leather panels down the outer leg.

Rooftop light does the rest. This is a transitional look, spring or autumn, for the hour between a meeting and a drink: the blazer reads as tailoring from the front and as something stranger from the side. Pointed black boots or a low pump, and let the sash fall where it wants. Hair down, wind optional.

The shoulders are not an accident. Nothing here is.
