Blue. I'm allowed one. A cobalt wool crepe blazer dress, shoulders built square, the hem draped into points, over slim black leather trousers. Pointed black boot under all that drape. The hotel library had the better lamps. Wear it to drinks you intend to leave early.

A cobalt crepe blazer dress with sharp shoulders and a draped asymmetric hem, worn open over slim black leather trousers in a hotel library.

The blazer dress is cobalt wool crepe with sharply padded shoulders, long fitted sleeves, a deep shawl lapel that wraps and fastens at the waist, and a hem that drapes from the fastening into asymmetric points, longer at the sides than the front. Under it, slim black leather trousers with a centre seam down each leg, worn long over the boot so the line stays unbroken to the floor.

An autumn and winter look for dinner, a hotel bar or a meeting that matters. The colour carries it; the leather keeps it grounded. Black pointed boot, small hoops, the watch, and the hem left to do what it wants.

Cobalt is my idea of a neutral. Nobody agrees, which is how I know I am right.
