Lace on top, leather below. A boned black lace corset with organza puff sleeves, a leather pencil skirt with a high front slit, patent knee boots. Sitting down is a negotiation. I stand. Wear it very late, long black coat on top.
A boned black lace corset with short organza puff sleeves, a matte leather pencil skirt with a high front slit, and patent thigh-high boots. Studio hours.
The corset is black lace over a skin-tone base, boned through the body with opaque moulded cups and a hook front, and the sleeves are the twist: short organza puffs, light and gathered, that turn a bustier into a top. The skirt is matte black leather, high-waisted and fitted to the knee, with a high front slit.
Then the boots: black patent, thigh-high, pointed, on a stiletto. Three textures of black in one look, lace to matte to gloss, and they only work because the silhouette is strict from the waist down. This is a night look for autumn and winter, dinner then somewhere louder, and the sleeves mean it does not need a jacket until it is properly cold. When it is, add a long black coat and leave the rest exactly as it is.
A painter's studio is the right place to wear boots this shiny. Nobody there is looking at the canvases.

styling notes
- Skirt matte if the boots are patent; two glosses fight
- Slit and boot on the same leg line, the boot top just under the split
- Long black coat over it, never a short jacket
