Navy is black for people who read the invitation. A one-shoulder top, navy satin on one side, black leather on the other, peplum at the hem, over creased charcoal wool wide-leg trousers and black crossed-strap square-toe sandals. Leave the open shoulder alone. It's doing fine. Cocktails, early.

A one-shoulder top that is half navy satin, half black leather, with a peplum hem, over charcoal wool trousers and black sandals.

The top is two materials sewn into one argument. Black leather runs from the single shoulder down across the front; navy satin is pleated diagonally over the other half; both meet at a folded leather peplum that sits just on the waistband. Under it, charcoal wool trousers with a sharp crease and a wide, straight leg. Black leather sandals with a crossed strap and a square toe.

Office tailoring for a day that ends somewhere else: spring and autumn, hard noon sun on concrete, then a dinner without changing. Hair straight and down, lilac nails, black beaded bracelet and smartwatch. No necklace, which is a shame for the necklace. The shoulder is left open on purpose; the sleeve tattoo is doing the sleeve's job.
