No coat. The shoulders do the coat's job. A forest green wool blazer dress with sculpted shoulders and cut-outs at the waist, over black opaque tights and chunky lug-sole chelsea boots. I'll be cold on that rooftop. I'll also be right. Tights by day, a heel by night.

A forest green wool blazer dress with sculpted shoulders and side cut-outs, worn with opaque tights and chunky chelsea boots on a brutalist rooftop.

A blazer dress in forest green wool with shoulders built up into hard, sculpted points and a wrap front pleated tightly at the waist. Both sides are cut away above the hip so the skirt reads as a separate panel, finishing well above the knee with flap pockets. Opaque black tights and black leather chelsea boots with a thick lug sole close it down.

It is a working dress for cold months: office in the morning, lunch that runs long, dinner without changing. The tights make it daytime; swap the boots for a heel and it moves into the evening. Nothing goes over it. The shoulders will not fit under a coat, and they should not have to.

Concrete parking structure, last light, standing on the ledge because the floor was in shadow.
