Half satin, half leather. The seam picks a side so I don't have to. An off-the-shoulder top, emerald satin on one side, black leather on the other, over charcoal wool wide-leg trousers and black pointed heels. The trousers are plain. Something in this outfit had to be. Dinner.

An off-the-shoulder top that is emerald satin on one side and black leather on the other, with an asymmetric peplum, over charcoal wool wide-leg trousers.

A top built from two halves. The right side is emerald satin, draped off the shoulder and gathered across the front; the left is black leather, cut with a short sleeve and a fitted panel that wraps the waist. The two meet on a diagonal seam and finish in a peplum that drops to a point on one hip, satin under leather. Below, charcoal wool wide-leg trousers with a pressed crease, high-waisted, over black pointed heels.

It is tailoring for a dinner that starts at the office, or a cocktail hour in early autumn when the light is still warm. The trousers are plain on purpose; the top has enough seams for everyone. No jewellery beyond the smartwatch, the bead bracelet and a small hoop. Hair down and straight over the open shoulder.

Half satin, half leather. The seam is where the negotiation ended.
