Vintage 1980s Muted Gold Cocktail Jacket

Introducing a complete one-of-a-kind, unique and 1970s metallic gold paisley cocktail jacket with structured shoulders

This original 1970s semi-formal jacket is a striking example of late-decade eveningwear, designed with a tailored silhouette and constructed from a muted gold Lurex brocade featuring an intricate paisley weave. The metallic finish delivers a subtle sheen under light, creating dimension without overpowering its dark, tonal base. The sharp-shouldered construction is supported by discreet internal padding, giving the garment architectural lift and maintaining its distinctly era-accurate profile. Gathers at the shoulder seams enhance the sculptural volume of the upper sleeve, tapering into a straight arm with buttoned cuffs featuring rounded black and gold shank closures.

Designed without visible front fastenings, the jacket may be worn open or cinched with a belt for a more contoured fit. Its unlined interior and lightweight metallic textile make it suitable for both layering or as a standalone statement piece. A standout for its versatility, it transitions easily between relaxed, tucked-in day styling and elevated evening wear.
