pamphlets showing how to combine
various pieces to make different
outfits.
Although the number of outfits
are limited only by the number of
pieces and colors used, the founda-
tion for a Units wardrobe, according
to spokeswoman Cynthia Sutton, is
skirt, cowl, slacks and skort (a
shorts/skirt combination), topped by
a jacket in a complementary color.
Add six additional pieces and a
woman can create over 50 different
looks for only $222.
"Originally there were only 20
different pieces," says Sutton. "Now
there are over 50 because people
wanted different looks. We don't

to us." This season, Units has intro-
duced a long, "pyramid"-style jacket
and longer circle skirt. The new
drape-wrap top, says Sutton, is the
direct result of customer requests.

selected to be mixed and matched

Jill Bace of Multiples says it is
the ability to mix and match not
only colors but components that
make modular dressing ideal for the
busy traveler. Multiples are made of
