Charcoal wool jumpsuit with sculpted shoulders and a belt

A charcoal flannel wool jumpsuit with pleated sculptural shoulders and a wide black leather belt, in a brick loft lit by tall windows.

A charcoal flannel wool jumpsuit with an asymmetric neckline and sculptural pleated shoulders that stand away from the body. The bodice is fitted, the waist high with front pleats, and each leg falls straight on a pressed crease. A wide black leather belt with a large square buckle sits over the waist and does the work of a jacket.

This is the office in one piece. The flannel is soft, the shoulders are not, and that is the whole argument. Autumn and winter, brick loft or boardroom, with a pointed pump or a flat boot. The belt is the only accessory it needs; a bag would be one strap too many.

A jumpsuit means one decision in the morning. I spend the saved time on the shoulders.
