Teal Blue Lurex Jersey Jacket and Skirt Suit

1970s · 1970s · British

This two-piece suit features a fitted jacket with wide lapels and a matching A-line skirt that falls to mid-calf length. The synthetic jersey fabric incorporates lurex threads that create a subtle metallic shimmer throughout the teal blue material. The jacket has a wrap-style front closure with what appears to be a tie or belt detail at the waist. The wide, dramatic lapels are characteristic of 1970s tailoring, while the jersey construction allows for comfortable movement. The skirt's flared silhouette balances the fitted jacket, creating the fashionable proportions favored during the glam rock era when synthetic fabrics and metallic finishes were embraced for their modern, futuristic appeal.
