Favored Styles Look Graceful

Fashion for spring revolves around a look of youthful grace and soft femininity. Silhouettes are diverse, but easy, uncluttered lines predominate, giving play to the beauties of fabrics apd colors. Whipped cream textures bubble up into the limelight, in appropriate colors —whites and offwhites, pale beiges and pastels, clear prints. Traditional spring navy is brightened and lightened. For effective contrast, crisp and ribbed textures make an entrance, while rich, dark colors set off the many pale shades. Dresses Take the Easy Line ” ’T^fe” _ ahcl'“slmple~ tells tiredress storj. Silhouettes are dubbed ‘'natural." "skimmer,” “shift,” all of which are agreed on easy, slender, figure.following lines. Princess curves, lifted waistlines, coatdress styling make spring news. The "open air" look, a country mood slicked up for town, concentrates on airy fabrics, open necklines, shirt-cuffed ■ sleeves.

Lean Look Liked In Body Conscious But Slim Coats Fashion loves a lean look in ! coats, and so will women who . ‘wear spring’s slimmer — and ! slimming — silhouettes.

Spring’s skinnier look is evident [ not only in straight coats, but also I in shaped coats that move in- at- ' from an d _ out-at-back, Chanelinspired cardigans, Chesterfields and gently flared A-liners. Newly narrowed coats are boy-tailored for a fresh .‘tomboy’ look. Many front-shaped coats have a high-waisted or “lifted" look. Others merely hint at a higher waistline. Fashion backs the belted look in coats with sashed or drawstring waistlines, Norfolk belt styles and belted “bathrobes.” Sweaters are better than ever ’as coats.’ Spring’s slim sweater coat is one of the great look of open-air fashion. Coat ensembles are a smart fashion “investment for ’ spring. The coat-dress costume pairs a slim coat with its very own shift or natural-shaped dress. Other coats come with skirt-blouse combinations.

lapel or rolled collar. Many necklines have been lowered for a “nude look.” Front and back yoke treatments create new and interesting shoulder lines.
