Strictly speaking, a "siren suit" was a one-piece garment, rather like a jumpsuit. They were designed as warm garments that could be donned quickly when the air raid sirens went—hence siren suit. This "jacket-and-slacks suit" in "crease-resisting art silk linen" was
"designed to form an essential part of your defense program, a lounging lovely to make an equally complete background for relaxing or busy hours."In other words it was not intended for wearing while doing hard labour, or dodging bombs.
Is it just me, or does this outfit look like some of the pants suits fashionable in the 1970s?
