Dinner in the City

All black is not a lack of imagination, it is a decision about texture. Matte merino above, silk satin below, and the difference between how the two hold light is the entire outfit.

The turtleneck is the same one that went to work on Wednesday. That is the point.

Why it works

• One colour, three surfaces — knit, satin and polished leather.
• The high neck buys the skirt its length; covered above, fluid below.
• Burgundy is the only colour, and it is small.

Swap it

Ankle boots instead of pumps for anywhere with cobbles.
