Light Hues For
Male Contingent
The male contingents this
spring-summer 1963 will see
the color trend in suits, top
coats, sportcoats and vacation
formals moving to lighter and
medium shades, even though
darks and other colors will
maintain their traditional im
portance. But, lighter and
brighter achieved via the
use of more color and more
pattern will make the
news. Light and medium
grays and blues especially will
be in greater demand.
Wool blends, all-wools, mo
hair blends, and polyester
cottons will be the predomi-
. nant fabrics for the spring
and summer lightweight
fabrics for warm weather
, comfort, in blends and all'
, wools.
The three-button tailored
shoulder and the three -but-
. ton natural shoulder models
will be extremely popular,
and the two-button tailored
shoulder Idea will be in grow
ing demand. The one-button
tailored shoulder model will
begin making some inroads.
In sportcoats, the story will
be bold patterns and bright
colors. While the three -button
sportcoat will maintain its
top position, more two-button
and one-button garments will
be shown than ever before,
In formalwear, satin-shawl'
collar models will be most
popular for cruises and eve'
ning wear for the spring and
summer of 1963. Color and
pattern will receive new and
Interesting treatments in this
category, too.
In topcoats, the trend will
be toward light colors with
peaked lapel, bal collar and
novelty models getting the
greatest attention.
In slacks the key features
will be slim lines, light shades,
and a good division of plain
front and single-pleat models,
and belt-loop and self-supporting
types.

HANDBAG NEWS - Straight
from the shoulder is handbag
news for spring, as leather
shoulder bags in scaled-down
sizes gain fashion prominence.
This is by Barbour.
ALL WASHABLE
Wash-Wear Means Fashion
and there are loads of styles
in casual and dress shirts to
prove why. It's this; Polyestur
fibers (alone or blended with
cotton) now come in fashion
fabrics. Start with new broad
cloths and oxfords in color
and stripes (both polyester
cotton blends). Add tricots in
textures or in new stripes and
checks. Now top them off
with favorite collars, snap
tabs, spreads and button-
downs. Then, wear - wash -wcarl
Lingerie Takes On Varied Hues
There's more to the spring
fashion picture than meets
the eye. This year, it's what's
underneath that counts
much as what's on top.
And what's underneath Is
glamorous, frilly lingerie
bras, girdles, pettipants and
slips in all colors of the
rainbow. Bright reds, blues,
greens and oranges, in solids
and patterns, are taking their
places next to the standard
whites and pale pinks and
blues of lingerie wardrobes
Variety in color and style
is so extensive you can choose
a complete, fancy set of lin
gerie to match each of your
LONGER BLOUSES
With many suit jackets dip
ping to new lows, the long

Seagoing Styles
Make Transition
Seagoing fashions turn am
phibious this spring and make
the transition to beach and
cabana landlubbers.
The nautical look, trans
lated into new designs in the
seaman's traditional navy
blue denim, is evident in
pants, shorts, tops and bath
ing suits.
Pants and shorts designs are
influenced by blue Jeans, a
favorite boating garment. Wit
ness traditional jeans of knee-
skimming length as well as
other short blue jeans, some
with pink-edged pants legs for
the real cut-off" look.
Bell bottoms emerge in full
swing in the form of authen
tic blue denim sailor's pants
with back-lace ties and front
panel buttons.
Detailed
The midriff middy, a shirt
that ties in a square knot at
the front, and the V-neck pull-
over middy In the rugged blue
fabric are detailed with red
or white stitching. Serving a
dual purpose of fashion and
function are denim sailing
parkas and jackets.
The blue jeans look in bath
ing suits and beach dresses
takes on accents in calico and
gingham. Navy denim hip
slung shorts, piped in bright
calico, are coordinated with
matching calico tops. Con
trasting print trims are seen
on denim shifts and tent-dress-
cs.
favorite outfits. Or, if the
budget's a bit tight, select one
extra-special set of these
fancy new underthings to
wear under your new spring
outfit.
Muted Colors
The more conservative
woman might prefer a set of
the new coordinated "wear
wit h - everything" lingerie
These underthings are in
more muted colors, often pas
tels, with just a touch of
another color, perhaps an ap-
pliqued butterfly or an at
tached rosette.
No matter what type of
lingerie you choose, you can
help to retain its fresh new
look by proper laundering
after every wearing. The
Maytag Home Service depart
ment says that you can "hand
launder" lingerie automati
cally in modern home laundry
equipment.
Washing Care
Use a light-duty detergent
and the "Delicate Fabric" set
ting of your washer. (Or, if
your washer is not so marked
use warm or cold water and
gentle agitation.) Best of all
since the stretch in most of
the new lingerie comes from
spandex fiber rather than
rubberized elastic, the gar
ments can be dried in your
automatic dryer.
One last tip from Maytag:
if you're washing frilly slips
In the same load with girdles
and bras, put the slip in a
mesh bag, so the lace won't
snag on snaps or garters.
ACCESSORIES, TOO
Sweater-jackets are impor
tant for costumes coordinating
this spring.
Chiffon scarfs inla wide vari
ety of plain colors are to be
seen in the shops this spring.
Many white silk scarfs are
shown, some touched with
pigment white or bordered
in brilliant colors.
COLORS MATCH
You can wear white under-
pinings ail the time, if you
like. But there are lots of
other colors in foundation
garments nowadays, and the
colors match lingerie.

ing chores, too, are new upholstery and carpeting in con
tinuous filament nylon yarns. They have a luxury look In
color and texture, resilience and strength to withstand hard
use. And they're easily spot-cleaned for stains. In Tycora

Beautiful Rings Prestige Symbol
A beautiful ring is the new
'prestige ' symbol of fashion-
wise women this season. It
also offers an ideal gift idea
for Easter. A new exciting
range of styles and prices in
rings are now available re
ports the Jewelry Industry
Council.
A beautiful ring is a unique
ly personal gift, the Council
reminds, and as such carries
a special message regardless
Brides Offered Many
Choices of Fabrics
Spring brides have so many
beautiful fabrics and silhou
ettes to choose from in wed
ding gowns that this season
should be blooming with the
pretties brides ever to walk
down the aisle. Among the
season's most exquisite crea
tions are demure bouffant
gowns of embroidered Swiss
organdy, dividing into panels
over a cotton organdy skirt.
Sleeves are tiny and the neck
line is scooped.

BOLD COLOR
One of the spring's most
inspiring looks depends on a
bold use of color! Three
shades of the same color team
are combined. For example:
pale green, lime and turquoise
. . . or pink, peach and coral.
These colors are combined in
separates: a blouse, sash and
skirt; or jacket, blouse, skirt
or pants.

of its design or cost. Sophis
ticated women will love the
new high-domed, chunky rings
often dusted with stones.
Whether these fashion beau
ties are set with real or syn
thetic stones is a budget mat
ter .. . their fashion appeal
is sure-fire.
For rings with an extra per
sonal touch there are the
birthstones, each with its own
wish of good fortune for the
recipient. These birthstone
rings range all the way from
delicate, conservative settings,
to big, bold, beautiful styles
from which amethysts, rubies,
topazes blaze forth often ac
cented with diamonds.
Rings for Men
The new ring trend isn't ex
clusive with the gals either.
Men's rings have been enjoy
ing popularity in the past few
seasons. Gold signet rings, in
itial rings, fraternal or pro
fessional insignia, or hand
some, r u g g e d , masculine
stones or birthstones in smart
modern settings make these
rings a prestige gift any man
would receive and wear with
pleasure.
The birthstones' clue run
down, as compiled by the
Council, is as follows: Janu
ary, garnet; February, ame
thyst; March aquarmarine or
bloodstone; April, diamond;
May, emerald; June, pearl or
alexandrite; July, ruby or star
ruby; August, peridot or sar
donyx; September, sapphire
or star sapphire; October, opal
or tourmaline; November, to
paz; December, turquoise or
zircon.
Supple Lines Of Spring Repeated For Foundations
Fashions for spring have
soft, supple lines-and so do
the season's foundations.
While girdles, brassieres, cor
selets tend to cover more of
the figure, they do so lightly
in the prettiest possible col
ors and fabrics.
Brassieres shape gently,
molding a high and rounded
bustline, close to the body.
Girdles are marvels of weight
lessness and movement, with
new waistband and, in pantie
girdles, new leg constructions
for greater freedom and ease.
Corselets feature soft, natural
cups, dipping backs, lacy trim
mings. With spring's "little boy"
suits and casual dresses per
mitting no bosom emphasis,
none is evident in the newest
high fashion brassieres. Pad
ding and foam contours are
played down, with shaping
achieved instead through sub
tle bias cuts and cloud-soft
cup linings. ,
Just as couturiers are carv
ing out necklines front and
back, so are bra designers of
fering varied necklines in late
day foundations. Wide-set
straps are frequently featured,
as are back-plunge brassieres
both with straps and without
straps.
Built-up styles are no long
er only matronly styles; they
come in sheer fabrics for
youthful figures. Nor are long
line brassieres confined to
"problem" figures; they're of
fered also for slim sizes to
wear under those slivers of
dresses that fit smooth,
through the midriff.
Waistlines move upward in
girdles, and leg sections
stretch longer in pantie gir
dles. Even some junior foun
dations fit from just under
the bustline all the way to
mid-thigh. They're controlling
because they're designed to
be; comfortable because they
are made of spandex; essential
because outer fashions subtly
define the figure.
SPRING COLOR
This is the spring for color,
according to fashion experts.
Brighter color is found in ac
cessories than ever before,
largely due to new dye pro
cesses in accessory leathers
and fabrics. Spring favorites
will be clear yellows, peachy
