Morphology
slutney + costume
The novel element 'slutney' is a nonce/portmanteau not listed in dictionaries and its precise sense (mixing 'slut' with brunch/party culture) is culturally specific and unpredictable. While 'costume' is transparent, the coined blend requires world‑knowledge and pragmatic inference beyond knowing constituent words, so a B1 learner would not reliably derive the intended meaning.
Etymology
Slutney costume comes from mixing the cheeky word slut with the idea of brunch; imagine someone in a playful, sexy outfit holding a mimosa or a napkin at a brunch party. So, the term means 'a fun, slightly provocative outfit' made for brunch-style or themed events.
