Two textures. Zero apologies. A fitted top woven from strips of forest green and black leather, like a lattice. Then wide-leg trousers in bronze brocade. Green and bronze in one outfit. I needed to lie down after. Wear it to an evening event. Plain dark shoe.

Forest-green and black leather strips woven into a fitted top, over high-waisted wide-leg trousers in bronze damask brocade.

A top made of leather strips, forest green and black, woven in a diagonal lattice over an olive satin base. Three-quarter sleeves, padded shoulders, and a hem that finishes in a point at the waistband. The trousers are high-waisted and wide, cut from a bronze brocade with a damask repeat that catches light differently at every step.

Texture against texture: the matte lattice above, the metallic weave below. It works as an autumn or spring evening look, a drinks reception in a sculpture garden, a dinner where the room is dim enough for the brocade to glow. Keep the shoes simple and dark, a pointed pump or a flat leather sandal, and the hair straight down one side so the shoulder shows.

Two fabrics that should argue. They don't, which is the trick.
