Return to Luxury Marked
With Swagger Styles
Widely Popular
By ROBERTA GRANT
All of the fashion forecasts pre
dict that this will be in opulent
fall and winter, with luxury the
keynote of every smart costume
A lavish era was already well
overdue and then came the cor-
onatlon and the Paris exposition
to add particular Impetus to this
trend toward more and more lux
urious liylng. Furs are, of course,
the Tory epitome of luxury and
you are going to see them at their
loveliest as they interpret , the
r 193S-'37 styles of the famous-cou-turferes.
Swaggers High 1b Favor
Swagger, boxy fur coats are
slated for th best year ever
and no fur is apparently too pre
cious to assume the simple lines
of the swagger with vast distinc
tion. The most popular length for
mink coats, for instance, is expect
ed to be 36 to inches in boxy
silhouettes, and the new square
shouldered effect usually will re
place last year's favorite raglan
sleeves. t
You're sure to notice that this
season's swaggers are not quite so
full as last year's-s-modif led to
hang loosely, but without folds in
straighter silhouettes. And you'll
heartily welcome this slenderizing
trend. The new square shouldered
lines (sometimes iither padded or
built out) are complemented by
the simple, tapering design of the
new swaggers' sleeves,, which are
made as a rule without any unusr-1
ual details. Their plainness is
sometimes even emphasized by a
bit of a slit at the wrist which em
ulates the tailored trimness of a
man's cuff. . t
Tuxedo front swaggers are par
ticularly swanky in such soft furs
as squirrel. And gray is one of the
best passwords to smartness In
sports coats this fall. Along with
gray-squirrel you'll find the dark
gray shade in caracul and otter
members of the. lamb family, ai
well as silvertone muskrat. Am
you certainly owje it to yourself
not to forget raccoon, ocelot, leo
pard and leopard cat when choos -lug
your sports swagger you'll
find them more youthfully chic
than- ever in this season s ctevefr-
new styles. .
Accent on Brown Furs
It's going to be a brown year,
according to the style prophecies
of some of the fur experts! Mel
low browns, which have always
been among fall's and winter's, fa
vorite colors in other types of ap
parel are i expected to be much,
sought after in furs. Especially
fetching . are the sombre beige
tones shading into brown in some
of the new Persian Iamb coats.
Safari" brown Alaska seal; as well
1 "as the deeper logwood shades in
. this rich fur, are to be very impor
tant. And we're going to be seeing
many more sable dyed kolinsldy
coats than before. Brown caracul
- end kidskin also are due to haje

what sleek flatterers these i-nex-pensive
furs are! Of course mink,

Social Realm
Smart women hav; long known
the advantages of properly corre
lated accessories. But fall will
bring a new meaning to j matched
bags and shoes that; you're sure
to like. Not only Will phoes be
made of the same materials and in
the same colors butf they'll have
identical style details.
For instance, we fsaw
shoe with patent triin at
toe. Next to it wa displayed a
suede' bag with patint stripes in
the same design as that carried on
the shoe. Another hoe of suede
with patent stitched:; in two rows
of white and green had its match
ed bag in flower po shape carry
ing the identical mfetif. . Still an
other smart effect was created by
the showing of a now type bag
with slot openings suggesting the
treatment on the vamp pf its ac
companying shoe, j
That should be enough to tell
you that your hunt for fall and
winter shoes will be interesting
indeed, exciting too.
