Sweaters Are Fashion's I In suits, dresses, sweaters and pants, knits are a natural medium for the translation of new fall styles. Their soft drapability lends itself admirably to the ultra easy, soft and often loose look which predominates. In knit suits, cropped jackets appear more often than nob.-usually collarless and combined with either pleated or slim skirts. In the skirt story, generally, top honors are divided among sharp pleats, bias cuts and slim skirts with a rounded hipline. The omnipresent overblouse, worn loose or belted, is longer than last year, and its counterpart, the over-shirt appears with a plunge plaquet or middy shape to wear out side pants. Sleeveless tunics, knitted or woven, top blouses or tight-fitting sweaters. In another area of prime fashion importance, sweaters are looser, extend from hip to wrist length and sometimes have narrow belts. Bulk is the most outstanding characteristic for outdoor sports wear. Usually in a heavy gauge knit, sweaters are worn over narrow pants which may be either knit or woven. Wide Italianate collars or bulky varieties of the turtle are distinctive in this fall's sweaters. Raglan sleeves play an important role and sometimes include design features which add to the sweater's attractiveness. Colors are rich rather than bright. And gone, finally, are the murky shades. The middle range is most important with emphasis on brick red with a russet cast, stone and brass greens, dull gold, bronze, smoky and teal blues and last but not least, all the wine shades. Solid colors, aside from knits are often in diagonal weaves or have a three dimensional look. Surfaces are some times soft and brushed but not fuzzy. Shown in the pictures: Right-A wool plaid hip-stitched, knife-pleated skirt in blue and green with a touch of white and reversible. The medium blue sweater has a spread collar evolving into a sailor collar at the back. The sweater has three-quarter sleeves. Left-The long, sleek look of black comes alive in tunic and slack separates for fall. The sleeveless tunic jacket of combed cotton sateen has side slits and dark buttons. Matching slacks are ankle length. The combed cotton shirt is an olive and black medallion print on gold ground. Below right-The long look, most important in fall sportswear, is exemplified by the cotton jersey knit slack set with middy-shaped overshirt. In gold, with shawl collar, two plunge plaquet and gold and white striped bib insert; the sweater has three-quarter sleeves. Below left-Top level interest makes a strong fashion point of the bulky sweater. Styled in dull gold, it features a convertible turtle neck collar with small white pearl but tons and full fashioned raglan sleeves with cable design insert. (Pictures courtesy of J. C.
