Avisco rayon. Bloomsburg fabric Wealth of Exciting Designs Ready for Pre-Teen Group The pre-teen set makes fash ion news, this Spring, with a wealth of exciting designs that pay special attention to their very young figures, and fabric textures that are especially note worthy for their nubby, ribby and popcorny outlooks. Shepherdess dresses. Empire silhouettes, princess lines and snug-top, full-skirted fashions all combine to create very young figure interest. While texture appealing fabrics run the gamut from papery rayon to ribbed rayon suitings and any number of variations on tweed. Beneath it all are gaily pat terned linings, and crisp, color ful petticoats that help empha size already full skirts. Lighter Colors In Gloves Noted Lighter weights, lighter colors 'and new style details are the key notes of men's gloves designed for Spring '52. Airy weight capeskins, soft suedes and leather and nylon combinations carry out the em phasis on lightweight gloves for Spring. These are featured in such light-mannered tones as grey, leather shades, sand, rust and navy. Bold stitching, deep stitched hems, whip stitching, side vents and side walls offer many Spring '52 gloves eye-catching new style effects. Shepherdess-type frocks are pretty to see dressed-up with pert apron and corselet effects, scooped-out necklines, puffed sleeves and lacings and braid ac cents. Typical is a dress that achieves both shepherdess and fabric texture interest by means of a glazed pique corselet and peplum over multi-color striped cotton. Dresses and coats featured in the high-raising midriff Empire silhouette appear in fabrics to match the occasion. Dresses, for example, are madein gala fab rics like taffetized chambray and pure taffeta for dress-up, and in a variety of gaily printed cottons for school hours. While coats are offered for "Sunday Best" in fabrics like checked worsted, and in fleece for more casual wear. The princess style coats, that Sunday appeal, are more appeal ing than ever, this Spring, with extra wide skirts often accented by padded hiplines and side-entry hip pockets. Keynote of young suits and the many convertible fashions on hand for the pre-teen's Spring wardrobe are billowing skirts and snug-fitting tops. Suit jack ets are usually brief and skirt fullness is often emphasized -by all-around pleats or flouncy pet ticoats. Convertibles appear in dress es with removable capelets, suits that sometimes include two skirts and a reversible weskit Wide Open Styles for New Shoes Heels Assume Importance It's a wide open fashion sea son for new shoes with the shape and height of heels as suming a greater than ever 'im portance. For, in every instance, new footwear is designed, and made in fabrics and colors, to complement Spring fashion's great sweep and width of hem lines, molded midriffs above nipped-in waistlines and very brief coats. Pumps, that team so well with undulating hemlines, open up. They have closed backs and open toes. Outlines are daintily shell ed. And throat-lines and vamps are interesting to see. To effectively pair with mold ed midriffs andjiipped-in waist lines, there is the new "corset" shoe. This slips on the foot like a girdle and adjusts without buckles. Sometimes it has a closed toe and open back. Some times it is very bare with all five toes showing, and a banded vamp. Sandals, too, in keeping with Spring s bare outlook, show off the foot to a maximum. For day time or after-five, the sandal is newest when it is amost in visible, designed with a wide or narrow Instep band that lends support as well as new fashion appeal. A flattering variety of designs, meant to cater to the frothy petticoats shown for Spring, gives heels, on every type of shoe, a greater than ever im portance. Every heel height is on hand with a special emphasis on. the slimmer mid-heights ap pearing in shapes that are curv ed in a gentle, pretty manner. Fabrics and leathers, used for Spring shoes, are also designed to complement or effectively contrast with new fashions. The nubby, dobby, slubby and pop corn textures seen in newest fashions, are available in shoes too. While the smooth surfaced shoe, highly polished and silky looking, is used to contrast with exaggerated fabric textures. Mesh, linen, lace, shantung and cotton are chief of the texture-some fabrics utilized for Spring shoes. In many instances, texture is added or emphasized by trims like reptile leathers. FOR YOUR CHOICE There are two basic style cate gories in men's neckwear, bows and four-in-hands. But within these "two categories there are as many as fifty different styles. Average length of a tie is from forty-seven to fifty-four inches. Neckwear is more important than ever in the Spring fashion picture with the revival of col ored shirts in stripes, checks and plaids for. business wear. Coordinating color . and pat tern in suits, shirts and ties poses a new problem for the average shopper. What to wear with what is the question.' Some basic rules in ensem- bling fancy shirts and suits with ties as the connecting link are pointed out by the Men's Tie Foundation. The suit is the basic unit of a wardrobe. Use it as a guide in selecting shirts and ties. Fancy shirt colors can be matched or contrasted to the suit. If the shirt is matched to the suit color (blue shirt, blue suit) pick the tie color to con trast or highlight the suit- and shirt color. If the shirt is con- tr.asted (grey shirt, blue suit) pick up the suit color as the principal color accent in the tie. Try to avoid small patterned ties with checked shirts, the Foundations suggests. They tend to give too "busy" an appearance to a checked shirt. Wear, in stead, wide stripes. An off cen ter pattern, under the knot pat terns, panels with strong ver tical lines complement -the check. i A striped tie can be worn with as well as the usual jacket, and jumper dresses that come com plete with little close-fitting jackets, frothy blouses and crisp under-petticoats. . Neckwear More Important I n Men's Spring Fashion - a striped shirt If the shirt is a J ' ' ' If 1 K-.-f IS i The "natural look" Is the silhou ette emphasised for menswear for spring 52. Her, a straight hanging, tweed topcoat with i bal collar, raglan sleeves and leather covered buttons. Suggest ed by The Wool Bureau to meet the challenge of colder spring days. narrow pin stripe, pick a large wide striped tie. If the shirt is a wide broad stripe, a pin stripe tie will go best Ties with well spaced, regu lar patterns, such as a geomet ric form, polka dots, squares, triangles, circles, are especially good with striped shirts. Small regularly spaced figures, either in woven or prints, contrast bet ter with striped shirtings than bold, sweeping panels. A plaid shirt pattern, because it is the most diffused of all fancy shirting patterns, lends it self perfectly to bold, paneled or fancy neckwear. But care should be taken not to mix stripes with plaids. There is too much conflict of crossed lines of design. Appearance Of Hats To Be Natural Narrow Brims, Lower Crowns Men can look forward, this Spring, to wearing hats as com fortable, easy going and natural in appearance as the sport jack ets, slacks and tweedy suits that complete their new season out fits. For newest designs in dress hats are pared all around to help provide a suitable complement to the natural silhouette. While the popularity of sport hats and caps seems to be keeping steady pace with the popularity of wearing separates for most ev ery occasion. Narrowed brims and lower crowns come together to help achieve "a natural, understated appearance in dress hats. In some instances, a tiny feather cluster is tucked into the narrow band of the hat for a height ened casual effect. While lighter shades, in the brown, tan and grey families, also play an im portant role in the over-all sub dued appearance. The Tyrolean-type hat retains major prominence among Spring '52 sport hats. With both rough and smooth fabric textures mak ing news in latest designs. A typ ical example of new Tyrolean texture interest is the model with a rough suede finish and a suede leather band plus the byword of the Tyrolean, a juan ty brush feather. Caps are, for the most part, even bolder than those featured for past seasons. They offer larger check patterns and are available in such rough hewn fabrics as a variety of tweeds and corduroys, in solid tones, that can be selected to match or contrast with the rest of sports outfit.
