70s/80s Studded Denim High-Waist Wide-Leg Pants Suit - sm
Possibly from the mid-to-late 1980s, when acid-washed studded denim pantsuits were a thing (hard to believe, but true), but more likely from the 1970s, as it's not really acid-washed, it's tie-dyed, and its modified Western-style saddle shoulder, not-tiny collar, high waist, and wide legs all say "late 70s."
Medium blue with white areas, and silver studs.
Don't you love the flattering upside-down U seaming on the bum? Jacket has slit pockets that won't hold much but look cool, a snap tab closure (for when it's chilly at the disco?) beneath the studded collar, and cuffs that are permanently buttoned (but easy on/off, as you can see in the video).
Labels: only the "Hand Wash" tag remains
Fiber/Care: feels like a cotton or cotton-blend denim with metal studs / tag says Hand Wash, but you can go ahead and machine wash in a net bag in cool water, on the gentle cycle, with mild detergent, then lay flat or hang to dry
Condition: only minor flaws to note, including some small, inconspicuous stains as shown (these may lift with targeted treatment) and a matching-enough replacement button at the waist (it's actually a covered-button blank, so you could cover it, if and as desired).
