Pants tend to be skin-tight —
as in stirrups or legginsg; or they
are comfortable and pleated. The
new look this season is the
knee-scraping bicycle pant
(knickers).
Shorts are hot in boxer-style
prints, as well as lady-like solid
linen walking shorts. Big on the
scene are the new wide-leg
shorts, that are not quite like
culottes, but can be substituted
for skirts. They are being shown

with matching jackets.
Tops are either big and long;
short in front to-the-waist, long in
back; or cropped all over.
Sweaters are either long and
loose; or body-hugging and short
to-the-waist (a-la the 'poor-boys
look of the 1960s).
Anything and everything goes
this season, and the look you
create becomes uniquely yours
alone.

look is being used in `playwear s ' "

Gottex swimsuit, with
plunging front and back.

The merry widow top, with
stays in it, is being shown with
matching shorts and a shirt
cover-up. It's being purchased by
women in their 20s and 30s she
said.
Jumpsuits continue as a big
fashion staple. "The terry
jumpsuits have been extremely
popular," says Terry Krug, owner
