A biker jacket that grew a skirt. Black leather, zipped to the waist, dropping into a handkerchief peplum. Under it, a knife-pleated chiffon midi with the same uneven hem. Platform boots. Leather in July. I never learn. Wear it at night, zipped all the way.

A black leather biker jacket that drops into a handkerchief peplum, over a knife-pleated midi skirt with a matching uneven hem, on platform boots.

The jacket is a classic black leather biker at the top, asymmetric silver zip, snap lapels, zipped chest pocket, epaulettes, and then it does something else: below the waist seam it opens into a soft leather handkerchief peplum that falls in two points past the hip. The skirt underneath is black knife-pleated chiffon, cut to a midi with a handkerchief hem of its own, so the two uneven hems stack. Black leather platform boots with a chunky heel finish it, and the sleeves are pushed up to the forearm.

It is an all-black look that moves, which is rare. Wear it for a day in the city that turns into a night, an airport when the coat is the outfit, or any grey afternoon in front of a concrete wall. The pleats need the platform: a slim heel under this much fabric looks like an accident.

Two pointed hems, one jacket. The biker learned to swish.
