This is me dressed down. A cropped denim jacket with black leather panels, buckled, not buttoned. A black ribbed tank, tucked. Straight black leather trousers, worn high. People call this casual. I let them. Wear it anywhere. Flat boots by day, pointed ones after dark.

A cropped denim jacket with black leather panels and a buckle closure, over a ribbed tank and straight black leather trousers.

Mid-wash denim with the wrong bits swapped for leather: the front placket, the pocket flaps and a shoulder panel are black, the closure is a metal buckle rather than a button, and the whole thing stops at the ribs. Under it, a black ribbed tank. Below, high-waisted black leather trousers cut straight, not skinny, with a belt loop she has ignored.

Day clothes for someone whose day starts at four in the afternoon. Autumn and spring, an alley with graffiti, coffee that is really a pre-drink. Hair down, nails lilac, the black beads and the watch; a flat boot or a pointed one, depending on the night. The jacket is the only piece with an opinion, and it has several.
