Rooftop bench, golden hour, forty minutes early. An oversized forest green wool blazer, sitting off the shoulders, an ivory satin cowl cami, burgundy leather straight-leg trousers. Pointed heel or a flat loafer. Three colours if the sunset counts. It doesn't. Drinks at seven.

An oversized forest green wool blazer over an ivory satin cowl cami and burgundy leather trousers, on a rooftop bench at golden hour.

The blazer is forest green wool, cut a full size up, with peak lapels and sleeves that fold back on themselves in heavy, ruched layers. Under it, an ivory satin cami with a cowl neck that drapes soft and loose. The trousers are burgundy leather, high-waisted with a straight leg and a centre seam, the kind of piece that looks better creased than pressed.

This is autumn tailoring for evenings that start at six and run late: dinner, a drink after, a walk back across town when the light has gone. Keep the top half quiet so the two colours can argue on their own. Pointed heels or a flat loafer both work; the blazer does the talking either way.

Sat on a cold stone bench above the city, waiting for someone who is late. The trousers don't wrinkle. The patience does.
