1970s Brown Corduroy Tuxedo-Trimmed Suit

Yves Saint Laurent
1970s Brown Corduroy Tuxedo-Trimmed Suit
Size FR 40 / S


Made in France | Rare Vintage Two-Piece Set

This remarkable two-piece suit from Yves Saint Laurent’s revolutionary 1970s tailoring era captures the essence of the designer’s impact on womenswear: masculine structure softened by sensual texture. Rendered in a micro-check corduroy cotton with a deep burgundy-brown base and subtle black patterning, the fabric has a luxurious, velvety finish.

The double-breasted blazer features a sharp lapel lined in tuxedo-style black grosgrain trim, which also outlines the pockets, cuffs, and hem — a dramatic yet refined detail. It’s paired with high-waisted, pleated trousers that elongate the leg and feature subtle front creases for elegant structure.

A standout archival set — this suit exemplifies how Saint Laurent blurred the lines between feminine allure and tailored authority.
