Sportlight' On
Newest Fashions
Fashion goes to a woman's head j
for fall, in soft hat silhouettes that i
add the perfect "finishing touch-1
es" to autumn's chic, casual day-1
wear and elegant styles for after-
five. , i
Millinery's ' soft touch is inter-1
preted in felU, velours, furs, and I
fabrics in a variety of young yet
sophisticated shapes to suit the
mood of fall fashion. Women will
Call it classic, call it casual,
call it sportive, sportif, sporty,
sportful whatever you call it, the
look of fashion is "pour le sport"
this season. Often based on the
adding up of several parts, it's a
look women have long been cre
ating for themselves, with the help
of ' sportswear and separates.
Thus, sportswear for the look
that's sportive comes strongly to
the fore for fall, "and the many
women who have made this look
their own. simply because it is
easy to wear and to Vary, com
fortable and dollar-stretching, have
the happy bonus of finding them
selves right in the vanguard of
fashion.
For the look, the "sportlight" is
on little boy styling. One little boy
who provides a lot of the inspira
tion is Dickens'--and Broadway's
Oliver. Knickers, vests, patch
sleeved jackets contribute to this
phase of sportive, and more borrow
ing-from-the-boys takes place via
extensive use of menswear fabrics,
such as chalk stripes, herring
bones, glen plaids.
Like Oliver, fashionable women
want more in this case, more
ways to look sportive, and they
get them. There's the ski-wear look,
no longer confined to the slopes
but going everywhere in town and
country. Uninhibited colors, furry
and stretch fabrics, hood-collars re
flect the influence. .
Layered look is still another ex
pression of sportive and may be
anything from two sweaters pair
ed together to a compete series of
layers skirt, bouse, vest, jacket,
coat, finished off with sporty ac
cessories and boots or boot-shoes.
Jumbers are one of the favorite
layers, in figure-skimming ver
sions. Generous helpings of colors and
textures supply more and more
fashion. It's "the more, the mer
rier" where colors are concerned
. three or more neutrals and
brights in one outfit.
Romantic Look
Ready For Brides
' However alert to current fash
ions she may be on all other oc
casions, today's bride cherishes a
liking for romantic traditions ofi
yesteryear, when it comes to her j
wedding gown. i
This fall's turn to the classic
as an Inspiration for all fashion

the best of both worlds yester-1
day's traditions plus the today:

give the bride the traditional love
liness she likes. Thoroughly ro
mantic and fashionable, too. are
long, slim , sleeves. Princess lines
and coat dress shapes show still
other instances of the simply ele
gant bridal trend.
Velvets, brocades, damasks,
crepes, satins, taffetas and peaus
are opulently appropriate for wed
ding gowns. In keeping with the
classic trend, cording often re
places embroidery.

find fall's softie hats perfect for
town and travel.
Felt is fashion's favorite fabric
for fall's face-flattering hats. De-!
signed in soft, slouchy silhouettes, :
fall felts are side flip-ups with chin
straps, stiched slouches, cloches, :
carefree, snappy brims and side
dips with forward tilts.
In "Mannish" Mood
Hats go country-casual to top off
sporty daytime fashions. In a
"mannish mood," but decidedly
feminine, are tweed, leather, suede, j
reptile and felt in rustic pork-pies, ;
riding and hunting caps and be
rets. ,
Fall's "muffed-up" look in scarv
ed or bulky colafed suits and coats '
is carried out in "mysterious" 1
hats reminiscent of the Garbo era. j
Slouchy felts shield the face, as !
do caps with mystery visors, and i
hats swathed in scarves or buried i
in fur. Fall's "lady of mystery"'
will accent her cocktail dresses j
and theater suits with veiled whim- i
sies. !
Fur Fascinatet
Fashion is fascinated with fur, j
and real or frankly fake hats are j
botli warm and fashionable for
fall. This autumn, women can
choose fur looks from an animal
kingdom of minks, leopards, beav
ers, Persian lambs and "off-beat"
furs.
Fashion has a feather in its cap
for fall! The feathery look is
sleek and chic in slouchy daytime
millinery, and opulent in feathered
fantasies for after-five.
Leather makes fall fashion head
lines, in casual cloche, slouch or
cap shapes. Very sporty used alone,
it also makes news as a trim in
bands, chin straps and brims in a
variety of plnin and patent leather
colors. Sometimes, reptile substi
tutes for leather.
Fall millinery is colorhued to
autumn fashions in subtle, jewel
and rich dark tones. Black and
while is a fashion-right color com
bination that appears again and
again in autumn headwear.

Dress Up To Stay Home -Relax
In Elegant Outfit
Fall 1963 will be the season when
you dress up to stay home! An
entirely new group of utterly ir
resistable gowns and garments will
be offered for your selection.
And no fashion conscious woman
will want to be without at least
one relaxedly elegant outfit for
her at-home hours, whether she's
entertaining or just lounging for
the evening with a book.
It all started when fashion great
Norman Norell who sets so
many trends designed and crea
ted a magnificent bathrobe long
and ' luxurious and meticulously
tailored in heavy, heavy satin for
one of his most elegant society
customers to wear for her inform
al at-home entertaining.
One look, and quite naturally
other style-setting ladies wanted
equally elegant things with this
new feel. . ,
Other deisgners began creating.
And suddenly this new way to
dress at home was more than a
trend. It was a reality.
The look of these new things is
long, always to at least the ankle.
And the mood is one of easy ele
gance, often achieved by the use
of sumptuous fabric, or unusual
combinations of fabrics, malting
the ornate "hostess gowns" of past
seasons very passe.
As in all fashion this year, the
Soortive influence is very much
felt.
There are lots of off-handed
shirts, man-tailored or imagina
tively softened, but alwavs noor
length, in uncommon fabrics such
as metallic plaids, laminated jer
seys, and even velvets.
And there are long skirts, some
full and fringed, others slim and
narrow or saucily slit, to be worn
with carefully chosen tops for a
real fashion impact around the
fireside.
Adding more excitement and
drama to the picture arc such
creations as one-piece outfits that
look like separates but aren't, and
new twosomes that' often pair a
long sleeveless coat over a long
I print shift-like shirt, or a long
jumper, over a crepe blouse, slim
sweater, or contrast fabric top.
i You'll find flannel being paired
: with chiffon, velvet with wool
. plaid, fabric suede with satin, in
; these fresh and unorthodox new
1 combinations for a zest that's long
been lacking in our liesure clothes.
Fluid, feminine crepe appears
often, as a tailored shirt, as a long
i draped column, as wide-legged cu
lottes with the look of a skirt, to
be worn with a fake pony vest or
a long, sleeveless fake fur coat.
There are robes and coats in
this new mood, too, but these new
indoor coats don't look a thing
like the old robes we once knew.
They're velvet or satin, deep
piled new wools, lavish brocades,
fluffy mohairs and mad plaids:
Fabulous Accessories Made
From Fur-Pretend Fabrics
Wikl and wonderful furs are
coming out of the jungle and off
the looms this fall . . . long hair
ed and short haired, striped and
spotted, to make really exciting
accessories.
And since the right way to look
this season is the Sportive way,
the furry accessories bags, vesis,
ascots and stoles even boots are
one of the newest and smartest
ways to add your own personal
signature to your coordinated cos
tume. Among the pretend furs that will
liven the fashion scene this fall
are the zebra's stripes and the
leopard's soots, both being widely
used in almost everything from
top to toe, from hats to vests to
skirts to boots.
New weaving processes and new
synthetic fibers have made pos
sible an entirelv new ranae of
truly beautiful fake furs with all
the richness of depth and color
and texture, of the originals.
And the creative designers, from
the very tjp-ranking names on
down, have gone wiM over these
furry fabrics, as will you when
you see them.
These' are not cheap and iboddy
and shamefaced imitations of the
, real thing. They are frankly fake
and frankly fabulous.
Consider the fasion impact of a
"mink" pullover sweatery top, for
examole. or a floor-length "broad
tail" hostess gown or a "zebra"
bag. big and bold, with a stark
black suit.
Another dramatic use of those
new "furs" is in sleeveless vests
! to be worn over plain little dress-
' es. There's an "ocelot" with
"mink" trim that would be heaven
, with a golden wool and there
are even a wide range of "fur"
shirt; and blouses, sweaters and
cardigans that are wonderful ward-
. robe extenders when teamed with
j your skirts, pants and basic dress
es. If you love the look of furs, and
the luxury of fur, but not the
! cost of furs, then this fall will be
the time for you to indulge your
self in all the glamour that these
beautiful new fabrics are offering, i
New suits have a. complete look,!
often "layered." A wool suit is j
underscored with wool, sleeveless !
j nullover, buttoned in back. Seven
! eighth skimmer coats are worn
with lijhter-weight matching skim
mtr dress. The highly important
cape-suit is debonair with turtle
neck, sheer wool blouse. ,
