Leather doesn't move. Neither do I, once I've decided. A black leather asymmetric peplum top with ruched sleeves, tucked so the peplum sits flat over emerald slub-satin wide-leg trousers. Black platform sandals. One side longer than the other. That's the whole point. Concrete overlook, after seven.

A black leather asymmetric peplum top with ruched sleeves over emerald slub-satin wide-leg trousers, on a concrete overlook above the city.

The top is black leather, draped diagonally across the bodice with an asymmetric neckline and long sleeves ruched from elbow to wrist. It flares from the waist into a sharp peplum that finishes in a point over one hip. The trousers are emerald satin with a slubbed, textured surface, high-waisted and wide-legged with a pressed centre crease. Black platform sandals underneath, mostly hidden.

This is the version of tailoring that goes from a late meeting to dinner without a jacket. Autumn and spring, when leather sleeves are a comfort rather than a punishment. Wear the top tucked and let the peplum sit clean over the waistband; add nothing at the neck. The trousers want a heel with height so the hem clears the ground.

Hazy skyline behind, concrete parapet in front. The peplum has better posture than most people.
