» ‘We, the Women—

The New Look’ - Looks Funny As It’s Worn *

Wrong Accessories Make It Amusing By RUTH MILLETT

NEA Staff Writer

NOW THAT “New

Beauty.

Look”

clothes are in pretty fair circula-, |

tion, it is amusing--and a little disheartening—4o note how awkwardly theyre worn. The ankle<length suits and" dresses are inherently “dressier” and more formalJooking than the old shortskir t, models, They were supposed to bring back the Ruth Millett dignified “lady” look of grandma's day. And probably they would if the women

wearing them today had any idea |

of how to wear them.

| But you see 80 many women |

wearing the new clothes, with their formal “dressy” lines, with accessories that belong with casual - sports clothes or an outfit suitable for a pienie in the woods that you wonder whether today’s young women have any sense of the fitness of things ” ” . KEEP your eyes open and you'll see plenty of girls parading in formal-looking long skirts and bobby-sox,

Along with ignorance of what |

to wear with the new suits and dresses goes a sad lack of HOW to wear them So, girls, If you want to wear “Ciay Nineties” togs, you'd better get out of the “Frightening Por" ties” habits of long strides, chalrsprawling, and the other features of the sweater-short-skirt-bobby-sox days Those things just make the menfolk think of it as the "New Funny Look.”
