ON OUR COVER: a look that took Paris by storm, the ultra-feminine pyjama suit. Late day version in printed pure silk organza, Simon Masse, 15 gns.
The December 1964 issue of Elegance (Flair in Britain) devoted a number of pages to "Fashion After Dark" and a number of inches in their "Flair for living" column on the topic of women wearing pants:
... Smart leaders of society are already receiving their guests at formal dinner parties in pyjama suits... But just because you are wearing the pants, don't throw femininity to the winds! If you want men to continue to treat you like a woman, you must behave like one. Move like one. If you wear the fluttering new evening pyjamas, don't fling yourself into tomboy attitudes. Now, more than ever, you will need to move like a gazelle and sit as gracefully as your grandmother. Look helpless and appealing and you'll find this combination of the female in fashions, stolen from the male, the most provocative thing that has happened in years.
