Silver is a neutral. I checked. A strapless black leather bustier, folded at the neckline like a lapel. Then wide brocade trousers in black and silver, long enough to hide the pumps. The trousers do the talking. I prefer that arrangement. Wear it on a roof, after nine.

A strapless black leather bustier folded like a lapel, over wide trousers in black and silver brocade. Evening, with pockets.

A strapless bustier in black leather, built from folded panels instead of seams. Two pointed flaps stand up at the neckline like a lapel that lost its jacket, the front wraps across the ribs in pressed pleats, and the hem drops into two uneven points over the hip. It is fitted and it holds its own shape. The trousers are the loud half: high-waisted, wide, pressed down the front, in a black and silver brocade that looks like tree bark dipped in metal.

Black pointed pumps stay under the hem. It is a look for the first cool evenings and the last warm ones: drinks on a roof, a dinner that starts late, anything with a door policy. Hair down, no sleeves, nothing in the hands.

Silver counts as a neutral. I checked with myself.
