In the 1970s the skirt suit had a new rival: the pants suit! However, the newcomer didn't push the traditional suit entirely out of the picture. This cover from the David Jones catalogue of Autumn and Winter 1974 shows a suit in a fashionably large plaid. Jackets have once again become classically masculine, as opposed to the cardigan style jackets popular in the 1960s and the fitted jackets worn in the 1950s.
As often in the 1970s, there was an element of "do it yourself" involved in creating this outfit. The skirt and jacket were sold as separates: you could combine them to make the suit below, or buy coordinating garments to build your own "look".
