All grown up

Saw a girl at the bus stop. She was wearing a black hoodie. Standing in the darkness of the corner of the shelter, the outline, from her slouched shoulders to the curve of the head was marvellously fitted and sleek. And it ignited in me the desire to own a hooded jacket too.

But of course, I'm thinking a closely-cut, dressy, grown-up version that won't make me look like I'm trying to pass off as 16. Something like the Gareth Pugh's boleros in yesterday's set. Both the woollen and the leather versions look utterly enticing and versatile.

So. On top of fierce black shoes, a couple of fierce wide belts - one ALL textured black, the other studded - and perhaps a fiercer black bag, I want a sleek, adult hoodie fit for work.

The hunt begins.
