polyester suits
Cheap shiny attire
Polyester suits are men's suits made from synthetic polyester fabric rather than natural fibers like wool.
The term often carries connotations of cheapness, tackiness, or outdated style—evoking the shiny, ill-fitting leisure suits of the 1970s.
Calling someone a polyester suit suggests a low-level salesman or someone trying too hard to look professional: a polyester suit hawking timeshares.
