heat is becoming a thing of tile
past as more and more men dis
cover the convenience and comfort
of "Wash and wear" suits and
slacks.
The garments' high content of
modern fibers, makes it possible to
wash the garment, then wear it
the next day with little or no iron

is simply taken from the wash wa
ter dripping wet, hung on a non
staining hanger and allowed to
drip dry.

been made slightly shorter. Just

the spring collections of some designers.

Far East Gives Cue To
Dramatic Coat Fashions
Spring dictates a slim, light-1 when designed in basket-weave and
weight story for coats. Many, tak- other textured woolens such as
ug cues irom tne urieni, are I cioua-uke tleece
bamboo-pole-slim.
in others, the narrowness is
eased by broader shoulder treat
ments or gradually widening hem
lines, achieved by flat width at
front and back spreading from a
natural shoulder line.
Coats are frequently designed to
pair easily with dresses for a
costume effect.
Novelty fabrics with unusual tex
tures the "knit look" is news
add distinction to spring's simple
yet sophisticated coat lines. Blends
of silk and wool that have a soft
tweed or silken effect are of major
importance, followed closely by
woven wools and silks.
Linens too are beautiful in tweed
and basket-weave effects. Often
they are blended with wool for
fabrics with wool's warmth and
moldabuity and linen's texture
qualities.
Suited to Fabrics
Especially suited to the new tex
tured fabrics is the Orient-inspired
coat. Generally it follows tho caf
tan or mandarin silhouette with
stalk-slim lines and deep slits at
the side seams.
Often this coat is decorated with
embroidery and other detail. Pale
beige tones are most effective in
setting off the woven fabrics.
The illusion of a broader shoul
der line is sometimes rrealprt with
Vapelet sleeves or deep capes
directing the eye to the top, at
other times with dropped shoulders
or yoke seams. Wrap coats, taper
ing iiiivi-rcepuuiy 10 ine nemune,
also give the effect of shoulder
width.
Empire Is Important
Empire silhouettes, with hieh
seams from which the coat bells
slightly to the hemline, are im
portant for spring. Bow treatments
of ribbon or fancy jewel touches
add to the regal effect of the style.
The tunic look, so important last
fall, has been modified for spring
to a tunic length coat, gaining back
interest through blousing, wide flat
bands or back detail.
Ihe unfitted reefer or tuhe
Chesterfield scores a hit as an in
terpretation of spring's popular
easy-slim silhouette. It is generally
seen in smooth wools or tweedy
silks.
Because it steps so nicelv into
summer, the versatile shortie is a
star of the spring coat picture.

Ensembles Take
To Short Tops
Sheath dresses take new part
ners for spring, teaming with bo
leros or other short jackets, r
or stoles. Result is a distinctive
ensemble look that vies for popu
larity wiin tne long javorcd coat
and dress costume.
Jackets, cropped at the waist or
even shorter, make themselves
noticed in a number of delightful
ways. Some are straight and stand
out from the body; some are easv-
fitting. Others are straight in front
bloused in back. Both front and
back closings are used.
The cape ensemble provides
equally relrcshing interest, par
ticularly in eioow lengin styles.
Capelets with back blousing or in
the form of huge white collars are
designer favorites and present
striking highlight atop slim
woolens.
Stoics have returned as an im
portant costume item, worn over
Doth daytime and evening dresses.
Though mostly wide and un-
adorned, some stoles feature but
tons and pockets, producing
handsomely integrated effect.
Pretty and practical fashion is the
short-sleeved costume dress de
signed to be worn alone just as
effectively as with a jacket.
The addition of three new coat
lengths to the coat and dress
group is a noteworthy event.
The perennial full length coat
continues to be the top favorite
here, but seven-eighths and three-
quarter models are becoming in
creasingly popular, and the tunic
promises to score as well.
HAVE MANY LOOKS
Party-going fashions for juniors
include a variety of looks. They
may follow the sleek, sophisticated
line, turn to the tunic, or flare out
into floating skirts of solid-colored
chiffon or printed silk.
