No sleeves. On purpose. A black leather bustier with a cut-out yoke, over black wide-leg trousers hung with metal clip straps. Platform boots, the hem breaking over them. One strap stays unclipped. It's not an accident; I'm consistent. Wear it to a concert. Stand near the speakers.

A black leather bustier with a cut-out yoke, over black wide-leg trousers hung with metal clip straps, finished with chunky platform boots.

A black leather bustier with corset seams and a cropped hem, topped with a narrow yoke that closes at the neck above a slash cut-out. Below it, black high-waisted wide-leg trousers in a dry wool with a flat front and a small pair of metal trigger clips at the waistband, one strap dropping down the left leg, left unclipped. Black leather platform boots with a block heel, mostly hidden by the hem.

This is a daytime look that would rather be night: hard sun on raw concrete, no jacket, arms out. Spring to early autumn, drinks after a shoot, a gig where the floor is sticky. The bustier does the work, so the trousers stay plain and long; the platform adds height without a stiletto and keeps the whole thing standing when the ground is uneven. Small hoops, the black smartwatch and the beaded bracelet, hair straight and down.

Hardware you can hear when she walks. The concrete has heard worse.
