White poplin shirt and forest-green leather cut-out trousers

An oversized white cotton poplin shirt with a point collar, a chest pocket and a long curved hem, worn open at the neck with the sleeves rolled to the elbow. The trousers are forest-green leather, high-waisted with a flat front, topstitched seams and angled cut-outs at the hip pockets and across the front of each leg above the knee, so the leg reads in panels rather than one piece.

The shirt is the quiet half, so it goes untucked and loose; the trousers do the rest. A spring or autumn afternoon on a rooftop, drinks that start before dark, a dinner after if the leather holds up. A pointed flat or a low boot, no bag bigger than a hand.

White shirt, green leather. The shirt is for people who need a reason to look at the trousers.
