Tamper, Flatter, Please' Aim of Fall 1960 Styles
jFasalon aims not to startle
pr shock fc'it to pampor, flat
to arid please, with its fall
t0 array of appealing, De
faming wearables. No radical
ghanges in style take place -the
focus is all on helping ev
ery yoman look her prettiest.
In teach of a great variety
Bjt silhouettes, there's more
femininity, and in every price
fange. there's more emphasis
ttn quality of fabric, tailoring,
trim.
: A feeling of luxury domi
nates. Fur and fur facsimilies
enhance coats, dresses, suits
and sportswear. The glow of
sequins, beads and gold
threads lights up the late-
day - into - evening scene.
). Fabrics, whether lustrous,
textured or smooth surfaced,
quietly insist on elegance.
Colors glow richly - "jewel
tones" and "vintage hues"
are frequently mentioned,
t; Though silhouettes vary,
they unite in a preference for
the more fluid line. Bodices
and jackets blouse gently.
Waistlines often are marked
by easy, self-fabric belts.
Skirts ripple with pleats,
flare prettily, fall in soft ga
thers. Some of the shapes fashion
takes are: the long torso, with
lowered waistline, and, echo
ing this, the longer - jacket
suit; the tunic, slim or flared;
id the pleasingly feminine
princess.
K Trend to more bountiful
skirts continues, especially for
Jewelry Reflects
Prosperous Aspect
Jewelry, in line with the
fashion of the times, reflects
the prosperous look this fall.
Huge pins, necklaces, ear
rings and bracelets employ
colors' to the striking advan
tage of fall clothing. A royal
awareness is evidenced by
real looking "court dia
monds," fine settings and
jeweled headpieces. The feel
ing is resplendent.
Long and many - stranded
necklaces are predominant.
Heaps of stones, sometimes
combined with Beads in varie
gated shades for fall, do won
ders to a dress of complemen
tary color.
Coin -spangled gold chains
add vibrance to the sweater
look. Coin bracelets and large,
hoop. earrings do the same for
evening wear. Collars, bibs
and woven, bead berthas give
neckline opulence.
Thfere is no chance of fall
ing into a single jewelry hab
it, however. Large earrings
and bold, stone studded pins
can effect a new look, doing
away with the necklace alto
gether. Glittering tiaras,
crowns, combs and pins
switch emphasis to the hair.
Unusual pieces can win
many friends, but most im
portant jewelry news of the
fall season is apt to be color.
Topaz, jet, plum and sapphire
appear pure, shaded or alter
nating with beads or rhine
ItoneS. ; Red, blue, green and their
tributary shades are promi
nent, as well. In fact, it may
be safe to say that an orna
ment can be found in every
popular color to accentuate
any fall outfit most effective
ly. '
festive dressing, while the
sheath, though remaining
slim, relaxes intocasier lines.
A touch of draping distin
guishes many shirtwaist
types.
Shape Impressive Coals
Simple fluid lines and full
er skirts call for impressive
coats. Cape shaping is a
strong influence most often
seen in coats with cape backs
and flat or semi - fitted fronts.
Others follow with a modified
barrel line.
Following the new rule
of fashion diversity, coat
choice includes slim styles
with top width, fitted styles,
princess and long torso mod
els. Diversity within a ward
robe is provided by an im
portant number of reversible
coats.
With the lavish use of fur
and the late-day glitter of
bead and sequin embroidery,
designers have wisely kept
other details modest. An in
stance is the treatment of collars.
Collars Vanish
Often, they vanish entire
ly, giving way to jewel neck
lines or soft draping. Some
times fur trim combines with
the no-collar look, as a cir
clet of fur is placed away
from a high and rounded
neckline.
Scarf ties, plain and fring
ed, are favorites - either as
an integral part of the dress
or jacket or as a detachable
addition.
Costumes Flourish
Sleeves, too, are less flam
buoyant, slimming down
from last season's styles. The
easy funnel, however, retains
its importance as a sleeve
shape.
Costumery not only contin
ues ml increases its scope.
Suits appear in three parts
jacket, skirt, blouse, and
sometimes weskits mgke a
fourth. Overblouses, scarf
tied at the hem, pair with
jacket linings, in solids and
superlative prints. Dress and
jacket costumes earn fashion
dividends from morn to mid
night and after.
Maternity Clothes Follow Fall Styles
It's news in the fashion
field, and it's news in ma
ternity wear - and it's the
tunic again - .'or any and all
occasions and in every con
ceivable fabric.
Along with the tunic look
comes the ouffed bubble sil
houette in a harem hemline
at the hip, again in all fabrics.
This year's fall and winter
mother-to-be can look forward
to materials In hard wear,
easy-case synthetics - perfect
for the working wife- as well
as in the luxurious fabrics
that her non-expectant friends
will be sporting.
Chiffon lace, point d'esprit,
and floral brocades are all
seen in evening wear, many
with fox or mink trim on the
hemline, making for fluid
movement Q
Necklines are primarily bat
eau 0d jewel styles with
some large collars.
One-piece dresses rival the
two-piece costume, with high
waisted effects predominating.
A new look here is smock
gathering front and back be
low the bustline seam.
Wool afternoon dresses
have trapunto details, while
wool suits take leather trims.
Party dresses come In jewel
tones.
Mix and smatclr sportswear
comes in a variety of fabrics,
prominent among them, cor
duroy and oxford cloth.
Whether the expectant
mother goes to a football
game or a formal party this
fall, she can be secure in the
knowledge that her clothes
are in line with the fashion
news.
Junior Favorites
Available for Youth
Junior editions of Mom's
and Dad's favorites are shoe
ing young feet this fall.
Girls favor pumps or strap
shoes, and delight in styles
that create the illusion of ta
pered toes "just like Mom's,"
according to Shoe Fashion
Service of Leather Industries
of America.
Gleaming black patent lea
ther pumps step into the sea
son as a year-round favorite.
Luster leather shell pumps,
with or without strap effects,
are a treasured party shoe.
Even the conventional sad
dle shoe bids for attention
with two styling innovations,
the patch saddle and the
streamlined saddle.
Boys follow Dad's footsteps
in adult-tailored all-leather
high-rising slip-ons, tapered
toe moc-fronts and slimly
styled four-eyelet ties. Little
Boy Brummels like the look of
dress and school shoes with in
verted seams and the two-texture
effect of grained and I
smooth leathers in one shoe

NECKLACE-Turquoise beads,
tiny gold beads alternate in
many strands, joined by gilt
chains and bars, to form a
distinctive necklace, with
matching necklace, earrings.
