Gunmetal metallic blazer dress with croc knee boots

A gunmetal metallic blazer dress draped across the front, cut out at the waist and worn with black croc-embossed knee boots in a furniture workshop.

A blazer dress in gunmetal fabric with a metallic sheen, padded shoulders, notched lapels and a welt pocket, the front gathered and wrapped across the body into a draped skirt that falls to a point at the knee. Cut-outs at both sides of the waist leave a band of fabric where a belt would be. Long sleeves pushed up to the forearm. Black croc-embossed leather knee boots with a pointed toe and a block heel.

Close it with the wrap, nothing else. It is a night-out dress for autumn and winter that happens to have been photographed in a workshop; the sheen likes a low lamp, the boots like a cold street. No tights, no bag, hair straight.

Metallic in a woodshop. The sawdust had the decency not to stick.

styling notes

  • Wrap closed, sleeves pushed to the forearm
  • Knee boot, not an ankle boot: the point of the hem needs the height
  • No tights under, no bag
  • Lamp light over daylight; the sheen prefers it
