shell suit
Shiny leisure outfit
A shell suit is a tracksuit made from lightweight synthetic fabric with a shiny, slightly crinkly texture, typically in bright colors or bold patterns.
Popular in Britain during the late 1980s and early 1990s, the style became associated with working-class fashion and is now often referenced nostalgically or mockingly: He looked like he'd stepped out of 1989 in that shell suit.
