A bow at the neck, tied loose. Cobalt satin shirt, cuffs rolled, tucked into cream pleated wide-leg trousers slit the full length of the leg. A cream box bag. Bag in the trouser colour, never the shirt colour. That rule is the whole personality. Office, lunch.

A cobalt satin shirt tied in a long bow at the neck, tucked into cream wide-leg trousers with a slit that runs the full length of the leg.

A cobalt blue satin shirt with a bow collar tied loose and left long, cuffs rolled to the elbow, buttons open to the bow. It is tucked into cream wide-leg trousers with a high waist, deep front pleats and a slit cut from hip to hem on the left leg, so the trouser behaves like a skirt when she moves and like a trouser when she stands still. The satin catches the light; the cream fabric is matte and holds a sharp crease.

The shoes are pointed pumps with a metallic silver toe cap, and the bag is a small cream top-handle box that repeats the trouser colour. Hoops and smartwatch, bead bracelet, no necklace, because the bow already fills the neckline. Spring and summer, obviously: a terrace dinner, an aperitivo at the hour the sun goes orange, a hotel check-in where the trousers need the room to swing.

The view was the sea. The trousers did their best to compete.
