The most appealing new look on the racks o f Portland is the strong image of Betty Hansen, an a ffo rd able label, that is if you've saved for the right occasion. Betty Hansen’s approach is to purchase the right blouse, be it in various shapes and colors. Fabric placement is o f the es sence. Blouses allowing for day in to evening to take on an instant change. Designers are feeling the pinch of their clients and are in tune to ability to add on that right piece . .such as the perfect little red jacket.

A traditional year— teamed with colors o f the old red, white and black, the key; tones etched with black. The animal prints o f the sixties— look for the reappearance o f the bold strong in the fall colors and a solid appearance o f the neutrals— pewter— tones o f greys and muted plums and greens. However, almost all wardrobes should be making room in the closet for the addition of eggplant-colored fashion accessories. The architectural shapes are as contemporary as the colors o f Port la n d -b o ld new shapes— linear in design supporting texture, old in its concept. However, newly developed blends have forsaken 100 percent originality for maintenance and longevity. Newest emphasis of de sign is being placed on the shoulders — highlighting a wrap dropped hip — and is featuring the unique de signers' touch with accessories. Suede and leather— but only in color— however black is a mainstay. Designers making headlines this season are on top because they real ize the market for its true value. How many do you know who can realize a totally new wardrobe per tason? These designers are on top due to their analysis, early in the double-breasted suit. Double- breasted clothing has been part o f fashionable men’s wardrobes since the 19th century. Throughout their evolution, double breasted designs have had fashion peaks and plunges. Most memorable were the double-breasted styles o f the roaring '20s and early '30s, their historically popular period.

But for the last three or four seasons, there has been a double breasted revival, and there is every indication that it will be double strong this fall. It's a fresh garment for the younger man be cause there's a whole new genera lion o f men that have never worn double breasted suits or sports coats . . . . It also coincides with the new silhouette— a broad, easier shoulder and tapered waist. A double breast ed suit gives a man a look o f im port ance and authority, as well as being elegant and flattering Almost any man can wear one provided the suit or sport coat is well made and the balance is right. The importance o f women's dressing to fit whatever position that they seek— to whatever occa sion that just happens to pop u p - must always be prioritized.
