that might well have been
coined for thli spring's coat
and tult fashions. Not for many
spring opening has there
been to much newi in sllhou
tte and fabric as that found in
thli year's presentation.
' Women love iulU and they
love a change to keep them in
tereitlng and refreshing from
fashion'! point of view. In this
ipring'i suits, there is sure to
be a silhouette that's ideal for

narrow boxy Jackets, In. oval

and becoming newcomer.
There are striiht eut lacket
that may be worn boxy or

sculptured lines that accent
the waistline and curve over
th hipllne. ,
. Each of these new suit sil
houettes is destined to add an
exciting air of newness to the
Easter Parade of 19S3. -
To add even greater empha
sis on the variety of the spring
suit showings are the softly
tailored suit which resembles
a dress, the silk siflt for after-
five wear, and the costume
suit. The silk suit Is often shown
with a one-piece dress and sep
arate jacket in silk pongees,
foulards, tie silks, and small
patterned brocades.
The costume suit rates high
as a fashion success this spring
Designers have done interest
ing treatments in the choice of
fabrics used. This suit Is usual
ly in three piecesjacket,
skirt and blouse. The jacket Is
lined in a wide range of fab
rics from jerseys to printed
silks and cottons with blouses
in the same fabric.
The slim skirt lends itself
beautifully to the fabric, con
trast that is so fashion-important
this spring. The narrow
boxy Jacket, either tapered to
the hips or snown witn suis
in the sides, Is doubly smart in
the fabrics that have texture
interest' Thick tone-on-tone
woolens, boucle weaves, nubby
wool tweeds, and. lacy poodle
cloths are featured . In tne
jackets, ; while a blending
smooth fabric is used In the
slim skirt. i -
There are many formulas
for creating the costume look.
This is achieved by a blending
of various fabrics that comple
ment each other, such as a
worsted crepe blouse, heavier
weight skirt and a jacket of
nubby tweed or surface-interest
coating. , ;H 1 ;
Colors , in the suits at the
showings leaned heavily to
ward the pale tones, from
creamy white to sandy beiges.
Pastels are important, too, with
creamy yellows, pinks, blues.
and some . lavender. Navy
holds a heavy lead over black
and gray, and is very popular.
The exciting variety in the
coat fashion picture is achieved
through silhouettes that range
from the, column or linear coat
to the inverted V line., "
The narrow, long-line coat
is distinguished by its top in
terest; a new kind of bulk and
width that is definitely 1953!
The deep, easy armhole is
much In th limelight with a
new, softer width at the
shoulderline. This new wwtn
Is achieved without padding,
but depends rather on the In
teresting placement - of tne
shoulder seem." . ; ..- :
There is almost limitless
choice in the length of the
1953 coats. The 30-inch topper
is curved around the figure,
the two-thirds length topper
Is smartest when narrow, and
the seven-eighths length is a
newcomer with its narrow, ta
pered look.
Other points of interest in
the coat picture are: the low
ered waistline, achieved with
low-placed pockets or seaming
. . . the clutch coat, devoid oi
buttons .in. narrow and taper'
lng affects ... the poncho coat,
which hook or buttons under
the sleeves . . . and coats with
separate capes or stoles.
Necklines add greatly to the
infinite variety found in this
Spring's coats. The collarless
neckline is a fashion leader,
usually with a cardigan effect
Built-up collars are worn high
about the face for a very so
phisticated air. Large collars.
ranging from big rounded
shapes to deep sailor styles,
help to underscore the impres
sion of shoulder width.
In fabrics, surface interest
is still most important with
poodles giving way to fleeces
and softer, fin lines, wnere
poodles are shown, they have
a lighter, almost frothy air.
Zlbelines. , flannel coatings,
worsted Jerseys, and frosty-el
feet tweeds are consistent fa
vorites at the showings.
Neutral shades are strong
est with beige the top favor
ite. Yellows Head tne partei
choice, and blues, coral reds,
greens, and navy will be much
in evidence on the Spring
fashion scene.. .
