Cropped bronze metallic blazer with O-ring leather straps
A crinkled bronze metallic blazer cropped at the ribs, a white shirt under black O-ring leather straps, and olive wool trousers with a wrap front.
The jacket is a cropped blazer in crinkled bronze metallic fabric, cut with peak lapels, sharp padded shoulders and a single covered button, ending just above the waist. Under it, a plain white cotton shirt buttoned to the collar, and over the shirt a black leather strap belt: one strap down the centre with an O-ring at the throat and another at the chest, meeting a horizontal band at the ribs. The trousers are olive wool, high-waisted with a buttoned waistband, and the front wraps across in one wide panel over wide, straight legs.
The straps are what turn a shirt-and-blazer into something else. Keep the rest plain: hands in pockets, a flat black boot or a loafer, nothing on the wrist but the usual. Autumn and spring, for an opening, a late lunch that is really a meeting, or a day when the light is good.
Bronze, olive and white. Three colours at once is a lot for me. I am told it counts as growth.

styling notes
- Shirt buttoned to the top; the straps need a closed collar
- Flat black boot or a loafer, nothing shiny below the knee
- Hands in pockets; the jacket is the gesture
