leisure suits

Disco-era attire

A leisure suit is a casual men's outfit popular in the 1970s, typically consisting of a matching jacket and trousers in polyester or other synthetic fabric, often in bold colors or patterns.

The style became so associated with dated fashion that leisure suit now evokes tackiness or someone stuck in the past: He showed up looking like he'd raided a 1975 closet.
