Shorts with a blazer. Legs are a styling choice. A cobalt satin blazer in tone-on-tone floral jacquard, wrapped and tied with a long sash, over matching tailored shorts. Pointed heel. Tie it once, low. Twice and you look nervous. Wear it to lunch that becomes dinner.

A cobalt satin blazer in tone-on-tone floral jacquard, wrapped and tied with a long sash, over matching tailored shorts.

The blazer is cobalt satin with a floral jacquard woven in the same blue, so the pattern only shows when the light moves. It has peak lapels, long sleeves and a wrap front that closes with a wide sash tied at the hip, the ends falling past the hem. The shorts are the same satin, high-waisted and tailored, short enough that the blazer nearly covers them.

It is a suit for a hotel room at seven in the evening, for a dinner that starts late and a flight that leaves early. A pointed heel or a flat mule, hair down, no bag. In spring it goes alone; in autumn, a black coat over it and nothing changes underneath.

Blue hour in an apartment that is not mine. The satin matched the window. That was the plan.
