TF YOU'RE the kind of a woman
who doesn't know what i t ’s like
to wear a dress because you go
from one season to the next in a
suit, fashion is all on your side.
V our suit may be elegant and
perfectly tailored.
It may need
little in the way of dressing up for
many occasions. However, if you
do wear a suit for almost every
thing, there are many fashion-wise
touches which can help dress it up
or down to be most suitable for the
occasion.
Some women like to leave their I
suits strictly alone, and use ac- |
cessories elsewhere. Do it with a
frothy veiled hat or one bedecked
with flowers. Both of these types
are flattering for making the tai
lored suit acceptable for the dres
sier occasions.
Another way to do it is with a
blouse. For most times you can
wear the trim and tailored blouses,
but for other occasions, choose ny
lon, sheer, net or organdie with a
fresh froth of lace or ruffles. Try
another color, too. in the blouse, and
see if you aren't really refreshed
D
This two-piece suit with the
look of a coat dress comes from
the spring collection of a New
York designer.
It boasts a
snug, waist-length Jacket, but
toned down the front in line
with the fastening of the skirt,
and moulds the shoulders in a
beautiful, rounded line. A wine
taffeta scarf contrasts with the
grey worsted, making the suit.
Scatter pins are seen, not only
on the suits which I mentioned,
but also on whit$ doeskin or glace
gloves to dress them up. Buttons
and bows are keynotes in styling,
too, as are the appearance of em
broidery, tassels and openwork on
the gloves.
For cool comfort during spring
and summer, shorties are the fa
vored length, with really long
gloves still holding their own for
wear on very form al evenings.
The flowers that bloom have
nothing on gloves when it comes to
color. Glove shades range from
i delicate pastels to rich, vibrant
tones. Among the most popular
are Bristol blue, clove pink, fawn,
sun bronze, carib green, rose lus
tre cherry pink and South Sea
violet. Colors can be worn with a
dark costume or may harmonize
with the apparel shades.
They
don’t have to match.
Navy Favored
For Shoes
Beautiful navy calf has been one
of the important color and ma
terial combinations in the shoe pic
ture so far. However, if you pre-
fei brown or black calf, many of
these are shown.
