Fashion
fabrics
for fall

There's a new softness in all -

areas to vie with the still import-:
ant knits. Woolens are softer and
lighter in weight . . . crepes, chal-
lis and sheer knits are important.
Velour finishes are big news,
and velvets and velveteens are
more important than ever. Knits
remain strong ... doubleknits in
wool or. polyester are very “in‘

Prints lock newest on darkened

- grounds ; . . often black. Prints can
be large and splashy ., . or tiny
and geometric. A trend is the look.
of print-on-print, especially using.
soft, geometric forms. Borders
and border interest . . . like fringe
. reflect the big interest i in gypsy

and “Indian” motifs of the pre-

vious season. ,

Colors are either dark or soft.
They grow deeper, even blackish,
but remain soft and rich. The dusty
tones wilt be important .. . es-
pecially in sportswear. | ,

Colors that hark back to Renais-
sance paintings, herbs and fruits
are frequent i in carrent fall collec-
tions. ,

Titian Ted, Botticelli bine Vene-
tian purple, reseda and bronzine
green and pomegranate have a
rich depth ‘not too far removed

from the important smoky grays _~

and browns of this season. ;

Also as variants to dark colors
and neutrals are pale tones classi-
fled as winter beige, cream while
and almadine, a Breen-tinged
beige.

_Men's shoes play important.
roles in the fashion picture for
Fall. There are various looks, in-
cluding .,.

slip-on, (featuring double- and

triple-straps) monk-straps with
decorative buckles which are con-
versation makers in themselves
. . . Split-vamp. types, tongues
which are set high, light brass trim
across the step. And a newcomer
to the scene — laced shoes make
footnotes that vie with the classic
slipon. The laced varieties come
mainly in two-tone or textured
spectator styles. Also. the dress
semi-boot comes on strong: ‘fall
versions include a spat treatment,
“side sections of goring for comfort,
‘and slim straps around the back,
ar spanning the instep. You'll see
much perforation styling in slip-

ons, oxfords and boots. Leather .

. linings help keep the feet comfort-
- able.

In textured interest stylists find
that smooth and lightgrained
leathers, dominate, with new saft-
ness: You'll see much antiquing

or tone-on-tone shading; other

finishes include suede, embossed,
or crushed patents. :

As ‘to calors,. ‘the fashionable
man will enjoy the many shades of
brown, some with a winey or red’
tone, or clear. medium-browns,
dark virite. browns, and. golden
: tones, to go with almost any color.
