leather Is Important
To Casual Fashion Look
THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1963
Fashion is on a casual kick
wis tali, and it's leather .
leather . . . leather for clothes
xnai are iresh, informal and
just piain lun.
With the "suburban look'
capturing fashion headlines
across the country, the popu-
-wijr ut learner garments is
sreaier man ever this season,
Designed with flair and mi.
ored by hues reflected from
the autumn scene, carefree
coats, jackets, dresses and en-
semoies are seen in a wide va
riety of handsome smooth,
grained, and softly sueded
leathers.
A favorite lighweight con
tender this fall is the three
quarter length coat in either
smooth or suede leather. Fin
gertip or full length, leather
coats look more gothic in
shape, offer more freedom of
movement.
Tailored and belted models
are more in evidence than last
year and detailing is simpler
-whether on collars, pockets
or belts.
Always smart, suede is im
portant in all lengths this
year, sharing popularity with
grained and smooth leather
apparel. Softly supple feath
erlight suede, cardigans for the
suburban matron or grained
belted jackets for the city girl
are seen in a variety of
browns - from sun gold
through beige to chocolate.
Other favorite leather hues
this fall include the grayed
greens, blue-from powder to
royal - and red from blush
tones all the way to orange.
In Many Styles
Wrap coats, chiefly seen in
the daytime in grained and
smooth leathers, are also
widely available in velvety
suedes-more of which come
out after dark; Large collars
and broader self-leather belts
frame the neat figure at every
hour.
Tunic suits, ideal for fall
weather, feature slightly long
er overjackets. Leather skirts
mold to the figure, with slits
providing free - swinging leg
room. Tailored leather jackets
and blazers are teamed with
colorful mohairs, soft cash'
Four Basic Suit
Styles for Men
This fall a ' man can be
handsomely suited in any one
of tour basic suit styles, each
one with many variations.
First, although not neces
sarily the most popular, is the
American Natural marked by
moderation in line and fit.
Second is the Traditional,
with natural shoulder, which
in Hs extreme is the Ivy.
Third is the Contemporary.
The most outstanding feature
of this style is the clean line
with emphasis on neck-hugging
collars and a firm well
tailored look at the chest
areas.
The fourth is the American
Ambassador which has con
cave shoulder lines, "forward
pitch" sleeves and "side bod
ies." This latter term applies
to seams which start at the
arm scythes of the coat and
extend downward through
the pocket area to the bottom
of the jacket.
Possibly the most popular
suit will have natural shoul
ders, a fuller chest, normal
lapels, limit of waist, sugges
tion of flare, and a restrained
cutaway front.
One "off beat" suit comes
with a one-button coat and a
double-breasted jacket.
Most suits will be lighter
and trimmer than in the past,
and more vests will be shown
as part of the suit.
An important look in all
styles will be the "dressed up
casuals" . or "dressed - down
business suits." The fabric
used often makes the difference.
Tweeds, shetlands and chev
iots are being widely shown
in suits; herringbone and
houndstooth will be very im
portant. Glen plaid too takes
top honors for fall.
meres and rough- tweeds in
casual ensembles.
Ski and apres-ski leather
outfits feature smooth ankle-
length pants topped by big,
lined suede or smooth leather
parkas or jackets. In a variety
of styles, leather garments are
adapted to all-weather use
through the addition of nat
ural wool shearling linings.
Shifts - in easy flowing
grain leather or clinging
suede-make breath-taking af
ternoon dresses. Deep autumn
tones, chiefly in browns and
greens, make these timeless
leather styles smart up-to-the-
minute fashions.
In the evening, the suede
coat takes on more detailing,
richer tones and more beauti
fully napped textures. Suede
wraps are trimmed in furs,
while smooth leathers take on
the sparkle of occasional jew
eling and the shine of a big
buckle on a broad, wandering
belt. The leather cape is a fa
miliar silhouette in the after
theatre crowd. .
Less Cosmetics
Suggested for Fall
When fall's chill winds be
gin to blow, the social calen
dar naturally calls, for more
time at home. And designers
this year have gone all out to
make sure m'lady is as pretty
by the fireside as at a ball.
Beauty and comfort go
hand-in-hand in these new "at
home" clothes. Shapes are
easy, but feminine. And legs
are almost disappearing, with
the most popular styles fall
ing to ankle or floor lengths.
Sportive" is the big word
here, as it is with the rest of
this fall's fashions. Shirts in
unusual fabrics, such as me
tallic plaids and wool prints-
sleeveless coats over pants or
pajamas-vests with culottes-
quilted wrap skirts -shifts -furs
of all kinds, real or fake
-all fit the "at home" picture.
To make the most of these

Knitted Dresses Need Proper Foundation
B 3
Don't Include yourself
"out" of the knitted class just
because your figure doesn't
classify as petite. For the first
time this season there are
foundations proportioned to
fit not only the average, but
the mature figure as well.
. Designers for Gossard who
have just completed a collec
tion of "Narrolines for knits"
have these suggestions to of
fer on selecting shapemakers:
If you have a full hipped
figure, don't expect a seam
less roll-on to do the job of
slimming you. Look for a gir
dle or pantie that is propor
tioned to your own hip size.
Hips are a key measurement
in knit underlining, because

hands -though they are al
ways on view-get nothing but
a hasty weekly manicure.
Not all hands are beautifully
shaped-but all can be flaw

Medically supervised re
search show that fingernail
defects are common in
healthy persons and may be
cleared up by a daily use of
an envelope of unflavored
gelatine-the same kind you
find on your supermarket
shelf.
You can take your finger
nail treatment in a variety of
pleasant ways. The unflavor
ed gelatine goes into fruit
juice, milk, or bouillon.
Many women take theirs with
the morning juice. Simply
pour in. the unflavored gela
tine, stir briskly, and drink
at once.
The treatment should con
tinue from 60 to 90 days, the
amount of time required for
Patterned Ties
Gain in Importance
What kind of tie goes with
the stripe shirt that is so fav
ored for fall?
Well, there is a wide choice
so long as it is patterned. Pat
tern with pattern is all-important.
. There are ties with vertical
stripes, with diagonal stripes,
with small over-all patterns,
with subdued patterns, but
always it is pattern.
So, save these solid color
ties for extra-dressy occasions
to wear with white shirts or
put them away for another

or light wool weaves blouse

narrow sharply.
Don't settle for a garment
that controls, but writes its
formula all over the knitted
fashion by show-through seam
lines. Look for garments that
are sewn with pancake flat
seams, and still offer split-hip
controls.
The "split hip," a favorite
narrowing control, is techni
cal language for an elastic
panel over the hipline with
its stretchability limited by a
long finger of fabric.
Get a light weight garment,
and look first for one in Ly
cra or other spandcx fibers.

don't expect a table cloth to
hide the bulge when you sit
down. Try a long legged pan
tie "irdle with split-hip con
trols almost all the way down

V
won t uuy too tight a gar
ment. Buy one that fits you,
and in which you'll be com
fortable. Knitwear tells , all
its secrets, and if you have a
curve that's been pushed to
another area by a too-tight
garment, it's sure to show up.
Finally, don't buy a cling
ing slip. Look for a half or
whole slip with a "taffeta"
feel to provide all the inner
status you need for knitted
class.
