Blue, white and pale purple bands carry the pattern from a long sleeveless vest to matching flared trousers in this 1960s knit leisure set. The vest has a zip front, patch pockets and a matching waist tie; its longer line changes the proportions of the all-over pattern. Made in breathable knit, the set fits modern US 2/4. Its blue ground keeps the lighter bands in clear view. Excellent vintage condition. Pre-owned and sold as two pieces together. Wear the full set with simple sandals, or separate it with a white tee, fine knit or short denim jacket.

Blue from shoulder to flared hem, with quite a lot happening in between. Bands of white and pale purple pattern run across this matching knit vest and trouser set. The long sleeveless vest has a zip front and patch pockets, with a matching tie shown at the waist. The trousers carry the pattern downward before widening at the ankle.
This 1960s set combines flared trousers and bold pattern, bringing a more expressive approach to the two-piece leisure suit. What makes this set work visually is the repetition: the two pieces share a pattern, but the longer vest and flared leg change its proportions. Worn together, they have far more presence than a plain trouser suit.
Breathable knit fabric connects the two pieces through texture as well as pattern.
A simple sandal gives the full look room to breathe. The gold-toned shoes in our photographs add a little shine beneath the blue without introducing another print. For cooler weather, try a fine white knit underneath and a boot that sits neatly under the flare.
The trousers also make a good partner for a tucked-in white T-shirt and a short denim jacket. Wear the vest over a close-fitting top with plain navy trousers, or let it break up an otherwise all-white outfit. A small bag in one of the pattern’s colors will tie things together without asking everything to match.
Modern size: US 2/4. The vest and trousers are sold together. Measurements are available as needed for the vest’s bust and length, and the trousers’ waist, hips and inseam. Shoes and jewelry shown are styling accessories and are not included.
Excellent vintage condition. Pre-owned.
Available separately. Each piece opens in a new tab.
