THE AFFORDABLE ELEGANCE

"There are two new
silhouettes for kids of all ages
this fall. One is the sock pant.
It's like a legging, but a sock
comes attached. I'm showing
black leggings with a bright
color sock, or one-color legging
and sock. Wear a slouchy sock
of a contrasting color over the
attached sock."
"The bubble dress is also
new and is available in all sizes,
infants and up. It looks like a
bubble at the bottom; the
elastic at the bottom makes the
dress poof out."
Maria Wolf, co-owner of Smart
Alecs, girls, infants to 12, boys,
infants to 8, downtown
Birmingham:
"This is the year for hats!
Handmade hats will be a big
accessory. We're showing an
updated Jughead look, a crown
hat, in primary and pastel flan-
nel with a solid contrasting col-
or button on top. We also have
wonderful folkloric hats
brightly colored Norwegian wool
hats with cotton flannel lining.
We have caps lined in fleece
with flaps to fit over the ears
and a brim that flips back."
"Kids are fun to look at in
hats! They need to keep their
heads warm, too!"
Mark Shindler, owner of
Brody's Boys and Young Men's
Wear, sizes 4 to 50, located on
Orchard Lake Road:
"This fall, it's a high fashioned
Elliot Ness look: baggy, pleated
pants, drop shoulder, oversized
sweaters, semi-constructed,
sharkskin suits and long, wool
overcoats. It's going to be a big
baggy, schmaltzy, Untouch-
ables-looking year"
"New are the 'hairy' fabrics,
heavy, rug-like tweeds for
sweaters, coats and sport coats.
This year, fleece is oversized,
quilted and reversible. The new
school uniform is frosted denim
with puff-painted fleece or
sweatshirts with Max Headroom
and Spuds McKenzie, the Bud
Lite commercial dog!"
