#velvet jacket

"When interior design meant "everyone must coordinate with the furniture." Welcome to the 1970s. The man is clearly exhausted from trying to keep up with these two fashionably dressed women who are standing while he's relegated to the couch. His brown velvet jacket is giving "I gave up and just wore what was comfortable" while they're over there in perfectly color-coordinated ensembles with statement jewelry. The orange dress with those gold buttons is a mood, and the black dress with the white sash is very "I'm the villain in this story."

The fifth outfit we see Phyrne wear in "Murder & the Maiden" (Season 3, Episode 2) is a variation on her classic aviatrix look, combined with the previous outfit.

She wears the brown velvet coat from her Russian disguise over her classic black camisole with scalloped edging, black silk faille wide leg trousers, and dark heels with straps, but trades Tiana's embroidered headwrap for her aviator's cap as she hops in the plane. The coat is wide-sleeved, following a smaller silhouette than the fashionable cocoon coat of the time, and the aviatrix cap also appears in "The Green Mill Murder" (1x03), the last time we saw Miss Fisher piloting an aircraft.
