The blazer is missing two pieces. Good. Black wool, boxy, oval cut-outs at the waist, buttoned on its own. Under it, a charcoal satin skirt with an uneven hem and lug-sole chelsea boots. The skirt can't decide on a length. I respect that. Wear it to lunch. Stay for dinner.

A boxy black blazer with oval cut-outs at the waist, worn on its own, above a bias-cut charcoal satin skirt with an asymmetric hem and chunky boots.

A black wool blazer with a notch lapel, two buttons and a straight boxy cut, with clean oval cut-outs at either side of the waist, a hand's width each. Worn closed, on its own. Below, a charcoal satin midi skirt cut on the bias with an asymmetric hem that drops to the calf on one side and rides at the knee on the other. Black leather chelsea boots on a chunky lug-sole platform.

Blazer and skirt is the oldest office pairing there is; the cut-outs and the boots are what stop it being one. It works in autumn and spring, for a working day that ends in a restaurant, or a day off that requires looking like the opposite. Small hoops, the black smartwatch and the beaded bracelet, hair straight over the lapels. No tights, the left shin tattoo showing between hem and boot.

The concrete does not care about the cut-outs. Everyone else will.
