This look by Oscar de la Renta boasts a middy collar and red necktie, but his sailor suit is designed as evening attire. By constructing the look in dazzling, sequined chiffon and adding a dramatic organza collar, de la Renta successfully combined the naval uniform with the ostentation of 1980s high fashion.
