Sleeves, this spring run from short to non existent. Many suits have "convertible" sleeves. This sleeve has a long, slit cuff which, turned back, bares the forearm; turned down, It forms a regular full-length sleeve. Many coats have either elbow length sleeves, or sleeves which can be pushed up to show the el bow. Some coats have only a shoulder cape for sleeves. Most daytime and after-five dresses have either the briefest cap sleeves or no sleeves at all. Let colored accessories make a high fashion costume out of your . good, year-round suit or dress. Try, for instance, avocado green gloves with navy. Avocado is a now warm olive green shade which combines effectively with many colors. Bags and shoes to match are also available In this color.
