1960s Navy Tailored Skirt Suit – Likely Handmade

A beautifully cut navy skirt suit with the poised elegance of mid-century tailoring, likely handmade during the 1960s.
The softly sculpted jacket, graceful wide lapels and elegant A-line skirt create a refined silhouette, while three distinctive silver-tone buttons bring just the right touch of character.

Thoughtfully constructed and carefully preserved, it reflects an era when garments were made to last, with craftsmanship taking precedence over passing fashion.

Chic, versatile and effortlessly feminine, it is equally at home as occasion wear, city dressing or as part of a thoughtfully curated vintage wardrobe.

Wear as a complete suit with a silk blouse and elegant pumps for beautifully composed occasion dressing, or give the jacket a contemporary turn with ivory trousers or dark denim. For a more distinctly 1960s mood, pair the suit with a structured handbag, gloves and a refined low heel.
