Black on black on black. I counted. A black leather wrap top with one ruffled shoulder, a wide leather sash tied tight, tapered leather trousers tucked into pointed sock boots. It creaks when I sit. I consider that conversation. Wear it at night, in a cold month.

Black on black in leather: a wrap top with one ruffled shoulder and a cut-out neckline, tied with a wide sash over tapered leather trousers.

A sleeveless wrap top in matte black leather, cut with a single ruffle that runs from the left shoulder down across the bodice and a slash cut-out at the right side of the neckline. The wrap closes with a wide leather sash tied at the waist, and the front panel drops below it into an uneven, pointed hem. Under it, tapered leather trousers with a pressed centre seam and a panel at the knee, tucked into pointed black sock boots with a sculpted flared heel.

This is a night look that does not need a coat until December: leather over leather, matte against a hint of sheen, with the ruffle doing all the work at the neckline. Wear it for a late dinner or a launch where the room is dark and the walls are concrete, and keep the hair flat and centre-parted so the shoulder line reads.

The wall was here first. It has learned to stand back.

styling notes

  • Tie the sash tight and let the front panel hang uneven
  • Trousers tucked into the boot, never over it
  • Small hoops only; the ruffle is the jewellery
  • Hair flat and centre-parted so the shoulder reads
