But All Sound “Young’ Note
By ROSETTE
HARGROVE
PARIS, March 16 (NEA) ~—Paris says “youth must be serve ed and the youthful note is, in consequence, the all-important cre, so fer as spring daytime clothes are concerned. The “young” note can be sounded in a number of ways, arid in
some of these any woman will be a personality.
ble to find the one a tuned tc her
Light, sometimes frankly gay colors, are shown for all
informal wear and the general impression is one of light-heartedness. Sometimes this is conveyed by the dress and sometimes by the accessories, which means that you don’t necessarily have to wear a baby pink or blue suit to look young. With the suit the first “must” on the list, there is an almost bewildering choice of styles. For the conventional, there is the sober, classical, man-tailored suit. This is usually expressed in Anconspicuous suitings or restrafned striped effects, with perfect cut and fit the essential factors and the feminine touch expressed in a frothy laceedged jabot or a jaunty dotted or figured silk blouse.
Boleros Suit Slim Women
Then come the slightly more “fantasy” suits with jackets of different lengths, varying from those barely covering the hipbone, to wrist and even fingertip lengths, not to mention the perennial favorite—the hiplength jacket. All were registered during the recent collections and it merely is a matter of individual silhouette. Boleros come into this “fantasy” category and show the same variety of lengths—only from the waist up instead of down. These especially suit slim women. The vogue of plain skirt and fantasy jacket still holds its own. There are fewer contrary -effects. Stripes, checks (sometimes both combined) ‘and plaids are all featured. A new combination is the plaid wool suit, with jacket worked on the straight and the skirt on the bias. Stripes, as always, lend themselves tc clever detail work, with chevron effects leading.
Skirts Not to Remain Short
Skirts are going to be a thorn in the side of many women. While some of the leading designers showed skirts just barely covering the knees, this should not be immediately regarded as the coming length. As a matter of. fact, this was merely - an indication ‘ that skirts had no intention of getting any longer. The length of hem, as always, remains an individual one, and if a woman has the type of figure which can stand an abbreviated skirt, well and good. The others should refrain and tell themselves that style extremes never did spell
chic. Outside of the question of brevity, every possible type of skirt is to be seen. Skirts with a pleated panel front and back, the allround pleated skirt, the box-pleat-ed pleat at the back. The umbrella skirt, the flared, bias-cut skirt and the peasant skirt can all be modified to suit personal requirements, but in any case, study the length of your skirt before a mirror, both sitting and walking.
