shell-suit
Rustling synthetic tracksuit
A shell-suit is a tracksuit made from lightweight synthetic fabric, typically nylon, with a shiny outer shell and soft lining.
Popular in Britain during the late 1980s and early 1990s, often in bright colors or bold patterns.
The term now carries slightly dated or unfashionable connotations: He looked like he'd stepped out of 1989 in that shell-suit.
