Keep Warm In Style
Winter Coat Fashions Are Elegant, Casual
Winter is in the air and new fashions in coats are as varied as the fall colors of the leaves. Wardrobes this year will be filled to capacity with coats for every occasion, from casual to elegant.
The furreal coat of velvety-like orlon and dynel known as *Ollegrø* is one of the most believable fake-fur coats manufactured. It varies in style from the casual pointed collar and buckles with blond leather straps to a more elegant style worn over suits at the new brisk 30 inch length. They also come in pastels.
The Big Sweater, instead of a coat, is a favorite now in the fall fashions. The ribbed wool in colorful autumn shades is often topped with a button-on-hood.
The little overcoat, sometimes velvet-collared and usually double-breasted, to be worn over a suit, is also stepping into the spotlight. A silk twill ascot and a muff combined with the above combination will spell out "high fashion" this year.
The knee-top coat, seen first along the English countryside, is now in America complete with welt seams and stitched borders. The favorite fabrics for this coat are camel's-hair-fleece and wool.
New to the female population is a true, thinned-down overcoat that seems to carry no weight. Sure of its smartness, it's double-breasted with a belt in back. A beret, a
silk Paisley scarf at the neck, and one of the new fake-fur bags serve as perfect accessories.
The silk-lined tweed coat that is more cloak than coat is another "new" on the fashion horizon. The cape collar may be bound in leather thongs which tie in front or teach under the shoulder blades in back, depending upon the style preferred.
A black American broadtail cardigan, semishaped and slicked around the edges with braid, will be a sweater for all dress occasions. Worn over a dark straight skirt, it makes a perfect suit.
The blond, sheared rabbit pullover, turtle-necked in the traditional way, is the answer to elegance for casual, relaxed fashions. With a zipper down the back for ease and speed, it makes a stylistic twosome when teamed with lanky pants.
It's almost as if the fashion designers had our windy Hill in mind when they found so many styles to keep us warm.
New Fiber Used In Coats:
Furry-finished coats are about to be joined by a newcomer. "Darlan," a new man-made fiber, was announced this week after years of laboratory experiments. It will first be used in deep-pile women's coats, which already have become a surprising fashion success, after the adaptation of other man-made fibers into fake fur pieces.
