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. Penney Company.)
