The zoot suit was a style of clothing popularized by young male African Americans, Filipino Americans, and Mexican Americans during the 1930s and 1940s. The jacket had high, wide shoulder pads that jetted out from the shoulder, giving the wearer a broad look.
A zoot suit consisted of very baggy high-waisted pants, pegged around the ankles, worn with a long jacket that came to below the knee.

Loose pants and long jackets but the thing that I most like is that these suits are for women.

This is a modern day interpretation, especially since women weren't the one in zoot suits before.
