Noon sun, concrete, and a blazer worn on its own. A cropped emerald blazer seamed like a corset, sleeves pushed to the forearm, over black wool wide-leg trousers cut open at the hip line and the knees. Plain black flats. Air conditioning, built in. Finally. Daytime, obviously.

A cropped emerald blazer seamed like a corset, over black wide-leg trousers cut open at the hips and the knees. Concrete and noon sun.

The blazer is emerald wool crepe, cropped to the ribs and seamed with vertical darts that pull it in like a corset before it drops to a pointed hem. Notched lapels, a single hidden closure, sleeves pushed up. The trousers are black, high-waisted and wide, with two slits cut at the hip line and two more slashed through the fabric just above the knee, so the tattoos show through in stripes.

This is tailoring for a room with no air conditioning: one hand in a pocket, the blazer worn on its own, a black smartwatch and a bead bracelet as the only accessories. It works for a long lunch or an office with a loose dress code, spring through autumn. Shoes should be plain and black, a pointed flat or a low block heel, because the trousers are already saying enough.

The cut-outs are not ventilation. They are an argument about where a trouser ends.
