White suit. No, I will not be eating. An oversized ivory wool blazer, an ivory satin shirt buttoned to the top, pleated wide-leg trousers. One black thing: the pointed heels. Sleeves pushed up, so the ink does the contrast. Wear it to an opening. Stand near nothing red.

Head-to-toe ivory: an oversized wool blazer, a tonal satin shirt buttoned to the collar and wide-leg trousers that pool over black heels.

Three pieces in one shade. The blazer is ivory wool crepe with a strong shoulder and a long, slightly oversized body, sleeves pushed up to the forearm. Under it, a satin shirt in the same ivory, buttoned all the way, collar flat. The trousers are the anchor: high-waisted, wide through the leg, pleated at the front and cut long enough to break over the shoe.

The only break in the ivory is a black pointed heel, which is precisely as much contrast as this look needs. It is a suit for daytime meetings that turn into dinner, spring through early autumn, when a black suit would feel heavy and a colour would feel like effort. Sit down in it, cross nothing, let the trousers fall where they want.

White tailoring is not brave. It is just clean, and clean is harder.

styling notes

  • Button the shirt to the top; an open collar softens it too much
  • Push the blazer sleeves up so the tattoos break the white
  • One black item only, the shoe
  • Trousers long enough to break on the shoe, never cropped
