Shadow Play

On the formal front, tailored wool trousers by [brand] and [brand] are a great way to kick off the look, but if you really want to invest in this timeless trend then opt for smart leather styles by the likes of [brand] and [brand], or a black blazer with leather lapels for textural panache. A band collar shirt by [brand] or a rollneck sweater by [brand] make for great pieces you can also wear casually with a long black coat or a biker jacket. Add a sprinkling of silver jewellery for a gothic contrast and use sneakers or military boots to keep the look contemporary.
