Rv Westbury. Wool Bureau photo. ' Lightweight Coat Must for Spring For chill spring days, a light weight topcoat is a "must," and the leading styles for spring are the light, lightweight tweeds, with the lightweight wool gab ardines next in line. Roomy, but with a minimum of bulk, the loose-fitting raglan sleeved topcoats will be the choice of many men. But there's a style for every taste single breasted with set-in sleeves, or the more formal tailored double breasted models. The color trend continues away from dark shades to light and medium tones, with gray the leading basic color, except In gabardines, where it will be tan. Away from the city, men will find many outdoor hours of warmth and relaxation in short outer jackets. You can find these "car coats" in plain colors or shaggy wool tweeds (some with convertible hoods) with distinc tive wood or leather buttons and "railroad"' stitching. Spring rainwear offers a wide choice of models, including both single and double-breasted styles, trench coats, balmacaans, knee - lengths and reversibles (dark on one side and light on the other.) Longer Gloves Accent Spring's Slim Lines Longer lengths for daytime wear come to the fore in new Simplicity Stars in Teen Hats for Spring Simplicity stars in teen hats for spring. Lightweight straws, felts and synthetics flatter young heads in pastels, white or natural shades, and are seldom trimmed with more than a grosgrair band ending in a bow or streamer. For dress-up, teen hats some times take a flower wreath or nosegay. gloves, although the classic shortie continues important. The longer gloves are liked to accent slim lines and to wear with capes or bracelet length sleeves. Included are gloves which reach midway bet"een wrist and elbow, 8-button elbow lengths and 12-button above-elbow styles-, the latter often daintily shir red, jeweled or. embroidered. Newsmaking, too, is the wide range of color in washable Launder-Leather gloves. These gloves, in washable kidskin, pig skin or suede, display variations on every color of the rainbow, plus neutral hues. mmJ ( SPRING SUIT Distinguished simplicity marks this light, bright spring suit with round collar, bracelet sleeves, inter esting hip detail and slim lines throughout.

To carry out the balance, skirts make use of open pegged pleating, creating the rounded hip effect with gentle tapering to reed-slimness at the bottom. Detachable Capeleis Detachable capelets, a new and important note in spring suit fashions, add to the round ed grace of the silhouette. The influence of Dior's magnet or "Dutch Boy" look, combining top and bottom symmetry, is in evidence throughout the spring line of suits. While the pegged, pleated or "Dutch Boy" skirt is one of 'this spring's most important suit skirt fashions, the eased slim line in skirts is also obtained by the side draped skirt, the tunic skirt and the panel back skirt.' On the fuller side, all-around knife or pressed box pleats, and J the bell skirt featuring open, un pressed pleats play a significant role. Eased Skirts The emphasis on eased skirts calls most naturally for the short and to retain the fluid grace of the silhouette the oh, so lightly fitted jackets. Other jacket lengths range from waist to hip-bone length. Styles include the bloused back, belted or tied at the waist, and the box jacket, as well as the semi-fitted silhouette. Hinted at in fall fashions and now reaching fashion's fore point are the suit capes, three quarter length oval capes which replace the jacket, detachable elbow length capes which com plement the jacket, and hip length cocoon and full capes. Children's Shoes Take Adult Styles Children's feet will be ' seen more and heard less this spring. Their new shoes are styled to look more like the grown-ups, with eye - catching innovations that make them almost ai indi vidual as the youngsters who wear them. And they're made of lighter, softer leathers that are easier on young feet and on everybody's ears. Favored for school are the ox ford and loafer, often in glove soft smooth ' leather, buckskin and soft suedes, and sometimes in pigskin with both natural and buffed finishes. Black and brown are popular color choices for boys' shoes, but some sport newer shades such as ivytone, camel and butternut. For girls, there are many black and white combinations, some beiges and more all-white than in other years. Styles show greater differ ences between boys' and girls' shoes. Boys' oxfords are cut more conventionally, and display mud guard effects and toe reinforce ments, while girls' oxfords often have peaked tongues and dainty stitching. Loafers are generally longer and slimmer, with gored sides and tassels for boys' styles, while the girls favor drapes and tucks on toes, insets of vari-colored leather and scalloped tops. . For girls, too, are dainty black patent or white buck sandals with one strap. Like their fathers', boys dress oxfords in conventional four or five eyelet styles are fashioned of shinier, more lustrous leather. Thursday, April 25. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE TOE Shoe Sheath to Dominate Women's Foowear in '57 The shoe sheath newest fashion trend in women's shoes since high buttons went out of style dominates the passing scene below the ankle this spring. It's an artfully designed pump, closed up front and back, with tapered toes for a slender look, and it's crafted in every leather . imaginable ' smooth, suede, grain, patent. Shoe colors are light neutrals such as dove gray, sandbark aid nougat beiges; new pastels such as primrose yellow and bubble blue; or strong rich shades such as flight blue, orange and tur quoise. Touches of white add a spec ial freshness. Textures show brightness, for grainy as well as smooth shoe leathers come in lustered or highly polished finishes, and suedes are short-napped with a rich gloss. Guild patent, newly grained or familiarly smooth, is much in evidence, in black or color, alone or in combination with shiny calf or kid, or colored suede. Casual shoes and spectators have taken to leather linings in checkered striped, swirled, floral and lace-like web designs of many colors brighter than the shoe itself. Toes are pointed in many different manners. Flats may have a blunted point or a point like a wide "V." Most daytime shoes have moderately pointed toes of varying length, while late day and evening ' shoes come to a long, elegant, sharpened point. Shape of the toe helps determ ine that of the heels, with points of varying degrees taking the sharp stiletto, the delicately rounded mid-heel or the low Louis. Even stacked leather heels on flats are related to the elon gated shape of the toe. The classic pump silhouette is varied by such devices at tongues in petal shapes, laced "weskits," straps over the in step (lower than last year), spat effects and new low-cut designs on the toe. p.
