Joyous Holiday Season had a field day this fall watching
short-skirted girls hiking around
TO ALL OUR FRIENDS campus. Along with short skirts
came all modes of leg wear-knee
socks, 'over-the-knee' socks, fish-
_ nets, and opaque stockings._
This year, opaque stockings
have stepped into the limelight to
augment the 'complete' look in
936 NORTH MAIN-662-2541 fashion. Knee socks as always
continue to be popular with spor-
r ty skirts and kilts. The over-the-

knee sock has experienced a wane
in popularity. Fishnets and win-
dowpane stockings have also made
way for the opaques.
Opaque stockings are smooth,
unpatterned stockings reminis-
cent of 'tights' of years gone by.
Campus stores such as Jacobson's,
Marti Walker, and Marilyn Shop-
pe, have stocked their shelves
with the opaque line. Originally
the opaques were available only In
white, explained a buyer from
Marti Walker. The stockings are

now available in a kalideoscope of
colors. The buyer said that "navy,
black and brown are the most po-
pular colors."
Sporty and Dressy
There are two types of opaques,
those of nylon length, which is all
the Marilyn Shoppe stocks, and
the panty-hose or tights. Tights
are more in demand because of
fashionable shortness of skirts.
Opaque stockings are more prac-
tical than fishnets or window-
panes because they can be worn
with both sporty and semi-formal
attire.
The representative of Marti-
Walker explained that the cur-
rent opaque fad was simply a con-
tinuation of the complete look
and is especially popular now with
the high hemlines. When asked if
the fashion in leg wear will con-
tinue, she replied, "It won't last
if hemlines go down." She added.
however, that Marti Walker has
ordered opaques in light shades for
spring.
To give an example of relative
popularity of the opaque this ex-
ample was cited : for every pair of
fishnets sold in Marti Walker this
fall, 50 opaques were sold. From
mid-September ot mid-November.
300-dozen pairs of opaque tights
have been sold by Marti Walker.
Next fall the hemline threatens
to falland if it does the opaque
will fade out. So enjoy the short
skirts and sprity legs while you
can.
