Green and bronze. I said I would stop. An emerald silk shantung blazer, cinched over the top with a wide black leather obi belt, bronze crinkled metallic wide-leg trousers, open-toe sandals. The belt goes over the blazer; under it, that's a dressing gown. Gallery, then drinks.

An emerald silk shantung blazer cinched with a wide black leather obi belt, over bronze metallic wide-leg trousers in a concrete gallery.

A single-breasted blazer in emerald silk shantung, the slubbed weave that catches light in streaks. Peak lapels, a long V neckline, sleeves pushed to the forearm. Over the blazer, a wide black leather obi belt that wraps twice and tucks into itself, pulling the jacket in at the waist. Below, bronze wide-leg trousers in a crinkled metallic fabric, high-waisted with a pressed crease, over black open-toe sandals.

It is a suit that was never a suit: two colours that should argue and instead sit next to each other quietly. The belt is what makes it tailoring rather than a jacket over trousers. Office to dinner in autumn or spring, with the sleeves up and the hands free. Hair down, small hoops, the smartwatch and a bead bracelet. No bag, no necklace.

Green silk, bronze legs, one leather belt to keep the peace.

  • Sleeves pushed up so the forearms show
