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.
