Tweed, Leather, Knit Favored By Designers for Autumn '53
There's a new trio appearing as a fashion act this fall that promises to soar to great heights of popularity! Individually, each one of this trio enjoys success and, together they're nothing short of terrific!
This noteworthy threesome is made up of tweeds, leather and knits.
Leather trims appear throughout the fashion showings and are used in the most imaginative manner. Soft cape and kid leathers have fashion preference over suede.
There are leather-trimmed tweeds which rank importantly in the field of casual separates. With a leather-thermocast, a smart leather weskit is terrific!
Accessory touches in leather include separate collars and belts to go with tweeds and knits, leather hats, and a wide variety of leather jackets.
These jackets are particularly fashion-important with tweeds and knitted dresses. Campus jackets are also appropriate for active newcomers in the fashion field!
The new-for-'53 tweeds are tremendously exciting! Standouts in popularity are the heringbone weaves, especially black and white, the multicolored nubbed donegals, bulky tweeds, particularly in slim skirts, and, as always, the imported luxury tweeds.

Miss Pownall of Parsons, has been teaching in Atchison public schools since receiving a bachelor's degree from KU. She is now a candidate for the master of education degree in counseling and guidance from KU.
Knitted fashion has never been so varied or so newsworthy. Foremost are the bulky, jumbo knits, newest looking of all knitwear: Truly high fashion are the jumbo mamish in styling: one of the newest ones being a leather shirt jacket.
Women Adopt Mister Look
The "Miss and Mrs." take over the "Mister" look . . . in completely feminized versions that are interpreted in "boy"-look tailored shirts . . . in "in-or-out", sporty "haberdasher" shirts . . . in blazer jackets . . . vests and separate jackets with the "Ivy League" look.
Well-bred fabrics from the masculine departments, are also borrowed blithely to interpret these fashions!
Gamblers' Ties are fashion-wise! Out from out of the west come the narrow ties—in bright colors and print—worn in ones, two's and three's in different colors—at the neckline.
Gamblers' Ties Fashionable
In addition, these gay ties are used in three to five color combinations as shoulder decoration—or on the bare neck with low-cut blouses.
New Fall Look In Men's Wear Rather Dated
Today's emphasis on slim, natural lines in clothes may seem radically different from the overstuffed styles of the 1940s—yet it marks a return to the type of tailoring pre-eminent in the Victorian era.
The "new" look in men's fall fashions is not really new at all!
The new style era promises to bring a return of the pleasure of being well-dressed—something many men have not enjoyed for many seasons.
In London, where men's styles are set, the new trend has been called the return of the "Edwardian Look." With a lifting of suit buttons, slimmer styling, precise tailoring, less padding, and attention to minute detail in the making of clothes . . . lo—the NEW MALE LOOK!
The new trends have already brought back three-button single-breasted suit—and talk of the four button model—as well and high-set buttons, slim lapels, tailoring to body contours, removal of trouser pleats, and the end of baggy, tent-type trousers.
Its effect is one of almost military precision, simplicity and directness .. but with an added decorative-ness in furnishings!
In sports jackets, "little extras" such as side vents, neat "ticket pockets," pocket flaps and other precise tailoring details have been added. The belted-back and the pleated-back jacket are signs of this elegance, too.
From its ready acceptance, the Edwardian Look promises to continue in men's styling—bringing back, perhaps, the trimmed shirt, the cuffless, narrow trousers, and the five-button suit.
New Look Is Male Look
The greatest male robbery in the history of fashion is being committed on every campus in the country!
Not satisfied with taking the shirt right off the backs of their "fellow" students, co-eds are stalking the men on the campus to get ideas for their newest fads in jackets, pants, sweaters, and coats!
To achieve this "Mister" look, college misses are adapting the fabrics usually reserved for men's fashions for their own campus togs.
Haberdasher jewelry — cuff links, collar pins, watch chains and fobs have found their way into co-ed's collections and are appearing as important accents to their on-campus outfits!
Gray flannels, camel's hair, and mannish tweeds, especially black and white herringbones, and haberdasher are appearing in co-ed's ward-poles.
Girls are taking over the bulky knit sweaters, blazers, the Brooks-type jacket, weskits (so very important!), and trench coat rainwear.

There's a wondrous exciting mobility to the fashion themes for fall! News-making in detail . . . richness of fabric . . . elegance of color . . . brightness of trims . . . all point up a fashion scene, that is ever moving—never constant in its total mood!
"We Can Fill Your Needs"
Fashion Themes Change Silhouette for Fall'53
From out of early spring gardens, comes fall fashions inspiration in the lovely, flattering "tulip" silhouette.
The column look . . . the tulip. . . and the sheath variations—all stress the narrow, narrow line! But this fall—it's narrow with "know-how!"
First introduced by Christian Dior in his last spring's showings, this gracious silhouette has stem-slim skirt lines that follow the torso closely up into a moulded, fuller, bust line.
Definitely a "new" look, the "tulip" has blossomed forth into dresses, suits and sportswear collections.
Fashion stresses the newer narrow-
ness with a look" rather than with
skipping the details.
Deep drapings, paddle pleats "inverted pleats" back, low flares—all accent the narrow look without sac-
cement one lota of flattery or shape-
liness.
The slim, fairly-long bodice shown in many a collection—eases its way into the slender tunic—often with a neat skirting of pleats a-plexty.
To further accent these narrow skirt lines, come a new blossoming of flattering, uncluttered necklines. Yoke detailing, seaming construction, shaping and standaway treatments—all flatter milady handsomely.
The tiny waist is played up with midriff lacings, nipped-in detailing . . . arebed fullness at the hipline—molded belts—draped and wrapped effects—for an enchanty feminine look that belies that crisper slimness of the column silhouette.
Still in the fashion picture--de-
lightly-framed for femininity—is the
full skirted fashion! "Great" skirts
flare into dressy frocks and separates
...the modified flare of the fullness;
back-stick" the "tricorne"
silhouette of narrow top, with
skirt-all receive special emphasis
in fall showings.
To further dramatize the silhouette story for fall '53--are figure accenting fabrics--many of them borrowed from fashion history's richest eras.
Brocades . . . Peau de Soie s.
richly-surfaced crepes . . crisp
cuffs . . tallies . . dramatic
laces . . rich, luxurious
velvets and velvetets.
Sparkling with fiery splendor are trims of the season! Jets, sequins, rhinestones, metallics, embroideries and pearls—all enhance the smartest fashions in suave simplicity or in regal elegance.
Knits are newer and more flattering—created in a wide variety of detail . . . in brighter hues and more elegant styling.
Color-wise - Fashion takes on a well-browned air! Soft, subtitle blonde tones are gently browned to a soft beige . . . camel hues, dress up coats, suits and casual frocks . . . chocolate and tobacco browns are important "darks" . . . honey-browns, topaz and champagne add sparkle to the browned palette.
Black once again comes svelty into its own! Keynote of the simplest to the dressiest fashions, black takes on a host of exciting new treatments.
And, it's a rich season of winning combinations! Look for leather and tweeds . . . tweeds with knits . . . wool with satin . . . satin with velvet . . . plaids and solids . . . wool with velvet . . . fur with everything tweeny cottonts with white linens. Place your money on any of these combo's and you'll pick a fashion winner every time.
More and more of the costume look is pre-eminent in fall fashion showings . . . there is the winter suit—skirt, coordinated blouse and a fur-lined short coat. You'll find the soft wool dress, complete with fully lined column or wrapped coat . . . there is the gently-bared shoulder with its own little bodice jacket or short coat!
The matching or contrasting weskit adds grace notes to fitted or boxy suits . . . the sweater now vies for attention with the jersey blouse as fall-into-winter suit components.
Separate stoles still are integral parts of the ensemble theme—whether teamed in matching wools for coats or suits . . . in furs . . . or match-mating skirts or dresses !
