Emerald satin blazer, bronze pleated skirt over trousers

An oversized emerald satin blazer with a bronze leather obi, a bronze pleated skirt layered over black leather trousers, in a concrete courtyard at dusk.

An emerald satin blazer, oversized with sharp shoulders and notched lapels, worn closed and belted with a wide bronze metallic leather obi knotted at the front. Over the blazer hem, a bronze metallic knife-pleated skirt, short at the front and dropping to mid-calf at the sides. Underneath, slim black leather trousers cropped at the ankle, and black leather ankle boots with a block heel.

Four pieces, three colours, one idea: layer the skirt over the trousers and let the belt hold the lot together. It is an autumn and winter outfit for a cold courtyard and a warm room afterwards. The satin and the metallic both catch the lamp light; the leather underneath keeps it on the ground.

Skirt over trousers is not indecision. It is two answers to one question.
