Summer Terrace

Champagne against cream is almost tonal and entirely warm, which is what makes this read as evening rather than as an office on a hot day.

Wide trousers and a narrow top, again. It is the only proportion in this edit that appears twice, and that is not an accident.

Why it works

• Sandwashed silk has a low shine, so it looks like evening without catching a flash.
• Two pale warm neutrals with gold between them.
• Flat shoes, because a terrace is not a room and heels are not for gravel.

Swap it

Black pumps and the burgundy bag move it indoors after dark.
