A ruffle, singular, and it earns its place. An emerald satin top, one shoulder, the ruffle sculpted at the top of it, over high-waisted black leather wide-leg trousers with pleated side panels. Hair swept off the ruffle side. The ruffle does not share. Dinner, hands free for the railing.

A one-shoulder emerald satin top with a sculpted ruffle at the shoulder, over high-waisted black leather trousers with pleated side panels.

The top is a single piece of emerald duchess satin, wrapped across the body from one hip to the opposite shoulder, where it rises into a stiff, oversized ruffle that stands away from the arm like a fin. No sleeve on the other side. The trousers are black leather, high-waisted with a flat front and a deep pleat at each hip that opens into a long side panel, so the leg reads as a column with a wide flap floating over it.

It is an evening outfit that does not need a dress. Pointed black heels disappear under the hem, and the shoulder wants the hair pushed to the other side. Wear it to an event, a long dinner, or a drink on a balcony with a view worth the wind. The leather makes it a spring and autumn proposition, though the top alone would work in summer with a plain black trouser.

One shoulder gets the drama. The other one gets the tattoo.
