Green. Once a year. An emerald satin top, one shoulder, one puff sleeve, tucked into black wool trousers, pleated, with cut-outs at the waistband. Pointed black heel. The sleeve takes up a whole seat at dinner. It earns it. Drinks before dark, hair back.

One sleeve, one shoulder, a lot of emerald satin, over black trousers with the waist cut away. Shot above the traffic.

The top is emerald satin, draped across the body from one shoulder, with a single puff sleeve that ends just below the elbow and a narrow strap over the other shoulder. It is fitted through the torso and tucks into the waistband. The trousers are black wool crepe, high-waisted and pleated, wide through the leg, with a small triangular cut-out at each side between the waistband and the pleats.

Spring and autumn evenings, drinks before dinner, anything where the weather does the lighting. Tuck the top in cleanly so the cut-outs read as design and not accident, and keep the shoes pointed and black; the colour is all in the satin. Small hoops, the smartwatch, the beads. The hair goes back off the face because the sleeve already takes up the room.

Green is a neutral if the trousers are serious enough.
