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 A Special Selection of ART BOOKS and MUSEUM CATALOGUES For Christmas Giving 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.
