Silver, for once. A cracked-silver brocade halter cut to a point at the waist, over a black satin midi skirt draped into a front slit. Black pointed heels. Metallics count as colour in my book, so this is my quota. Rooftop, last hour of light, hair over the open shoulder.

A cracked-silver brocade halter cut to a point at the waist, over a black satin skirt draped into a front slit, on a rooftop garden at golden hour.

The top is a stiff silver brocade in a cracked, almost mineral pattern, cut as an asymmetric halter that ties high at the neck, cuts away at the left shoulder and finishes in a point just above the waistband. The skirt is black satin, high-waisted and draped from one hip so the fabric folds over itself into a soft cascade and opens into a slit at the shin. No lining shows, no hardware, nothing to catch.

The pair works as evening separates without the stiffness of a dress. Wear the top tucked hard into the skirt so the point sits exactly at the waistband, add a pointed black heel and keep the hair down over the open shoulder. It is a late-spring and summer look for a rooftop dinner or a cocktail hour that runs long; in autumn the skirt takes a black blazer on top and the top goes back in the drawer.

Silver above, black below. Everything else is the tattoos' problem.
