Navy. Black with a degree. A navy wool blazer, one button, a peplum dropping to a handkerchief point, over a bronze satin cowl top and navy wide-leg trousers. Bronze for the sun. Black for anyone who says budget. Lunch outside, one button done up.

A navy wool blazer with a single button and a peplum that drops into a handkerchief point, over a bronze satin cowl top and matching wide-leg trousers.

The blazer is navy wool, fitted through the body and closed with one button at the waist, from which a peplum flares and falls away into a long asymmetric point at the front. The lapels are narrow and the sleeves are pushed to the forearm. Under it, a strapless cowl-neck top in bronze satin, a single warm note in a dark outfit. The trousers match the jacket, high-waisted with a pressed crease and a wide straight leg that covers the shoe.

This is the suit for a city with old stone in it: a morning of meetings, a train, a dinner in the same clothes. Autumn to spring, and it takes a wool coat on top without losing the line of the peplum. Swap the bronze top for black and it goes quieter; leave it and the satin catches every low sun.

Navy is not the safe version of black. It is the version that has somewhere to be.
