Ri s Sow to Cocktail Dresses By SUSAN STAGG winter formal season is just i the corner, but full formal' vill seldom be seen. :tail dresses are the usual g apparel. These sport the e just below the knees. For g a full skirt is recom- d, but the slimline sheath popular. - A sheath suit is probably the most practical evening garment. A short fitted jacket of biege brocade topped a scoop neck sheath in one suit. The jacket Is fastened with tiny rhinestone but- tons, and the peter pan collar and short sleeves give the outfit the "covered" look, appropriate for cocktails and dinner. Crepe, Fox Black crepe and silver fox pro- duce a striking sheath suit. Thej sleeveless Italian neck sheath is topped with a fitted jacket. A sil- ver fox collar halos the head and extends to the waist. A simple dressy sheath may serve well in a variety of situa- tions. One particularly attractive dress is of honey beige velvetine. The boat neck falls in a "V" in the back and features short sleeves. The waist is accented with a satin cinnamon cumberbund. A fitted black velvet top with short sleeves and a high collar may be worn as a blouse or a jacket. The' tiny black jet buttons add spark to any outfit. Brocade Top A black and gold brocade top with an Italian neck is striking when worn with a straight blacl velvet skirt. The mixture of textured materi-I als such as brocade and velvet creates an elegant appearance. The "separate" look is so popu- lar that dresses resembling separ- ates are offered. One features a full cinnamon skirt with black lace overlay. The black crepe top has4 a boat neck and grecian sleeve- lets. Gloves a Muss The well dressed lady always, wears gloves. On the campus, short or three-quarter length of fine hand stitched cotton or kid are appropriate. There are two types of evening! coats: Basic coats, which may be worn with a number of outfits, and black and red velveteen street length coats. The latter, a wrap- around, features a broad lapel and is water repellent. Water repell-; ency is an important feature in velvet coats, for without it the{ coat is easily ruined.j The chesterfield cut creates a, spindle thin silhouette and the mink collar adds just the right amount of dressiness. Short jackets are often less sea-, sonal than regular coats. Artificial+ white fur is used in the creation Men Approve Short Skirts, Fall Fashions By HOPE MARDER "Short skirts are here to stay,a but lavender doesn't appeal to me," topped the comments of Uni- versity men on women's fall fash- ions, Nine out of ten favored the short skirt idea, whether they be kilts (hitting above the knee), band- stands or knee-ticklers (hitting the middle of the knee), or skirts (hit- ting just below the knee). The general opinion concerning short skirts is that they will definitely last, "Girls today have cute fig- ures, and there is no reason why they should be hidden." The tenth man strongly dis- agrees. He believes that women should only wear short skirts if they have nice legs. "However," he continued, "there is no real way to tell if they do have nice legs unless they wear' short skirts." Questioned about the range of colors and their effects, all pre- ferred both the new muted and bright tartan plaids, either in slim or pleated skirts. However some distaste was heard concerning the dresses. "Plaids are all right in dresses as long as they are not too loud." When asked about new sweater fashions, seven out of ten liked the sweaters tied over the shoulder. "Girls add *an extra bounce to their step when wearing their sweaters this way," was one com- ment. The other three liked the torso sweater style as it "shows; off the figure more." loves Turn To Leather. Predominant in the handwear department this year are kid gloves. The trend toward leather is a change from last year's em- phasis on fabrics. The kid gloves, being wool and fur lined supply greater warmth than did the fab- ric. Also in the spotlight this year are beaded gloves. Yet even in3 view of the dynamic selection of colors and fabrics, stores stell about twice as many short white1 gloves to coeds as any other style. By JUDITH OPPENHEIM _{ S --Daily-Len Lofstrom BACK TALK-This strapless white satin formal features a large bow across -the back of plush red satin trimmed with artificial flowers. The full skirt will flair gracefully across the dance floor from the tune of the first to last waltz. Oversized Pockets, Furry Collars Give Fall Coats a Distinctive Air Beauty is no longer a coat's own excuse fo rbeing-this year the .Practical touch has been, added. Deep wide pockets, good for car- rying lunches and mittens or just keeping your hands warm are decorating more and more casual coats and are even being seen on dressy coats. Last year's innovation, the bushy, fur collar is back and being com- bined with a wide variety of styles and fabrice ranging from camel hair and herringboneto the be- loved trenchcoat. Chesterfield Collar The Chesterfield collar is back too, most frequently seen on grey and loden green straight coats, and of course the "boy"-coat in blue, camel, grey, and, red which has become more popular than ever since being worn by Mrs. John F. Kennedy, accompanying her hus- band on a campaign trip. Bright plaids are being shown in coats for campus wear. Red and black seems to be the most popular combination with watch plaid running a close second. Dress coats are also often plaid this season. Soft browns and golds and heather blues are shown in lightweight wool, and solid pastels, Blacks with stand - away collars share their popularity. Tunic Look The last word in coats this win- ter is the tunic look. The coat is three-quarter length, often with. fringe on the hem and a turtle- neck collar. Sleeves are knit and contrast with the color of the coat. Popular color combinations are black and red and black and camel. Matching mittens and scarves are again in vogue, and bright- colored hoods add the finishing touch to the well-dressed coat this year. Leopard-skin Belt Heads Fashion Leopard-skin belts are as fash- ionable again this year -as they were last year. Velvet and stretch belts are also being shown widely, and stores are featuring them with rhinestone trim for dressy wear. Wide belts are most in style this year ,and the trend in leather belts seems to be toward the soft crushable leather. COQUETTE CURLS: Coiffures Become Shorter As Barettes, Combs Vanish By SUSAN HERSHBERG Milady cuts off her flowing locks this year. Paris is going all out for the short-do. Baby-doll-dos are the thing, complete with fluid bangs and coquettish cheek curls, say the style sheets. Waves are brief, smooth, and softly brushed. Throw out the barrettes, but keep the rollers and bobby pins. The hair has returned to the im- mediate vicinity of the head. No more bubbles, beehives, or other, assorted puffy dos. They're not twisting, knotting, pony - tailing, dragging or sweeping. For a bit of Paris, there's the "Cheri Coiffure," or perhaps the Greek goddess - type would like the "Classic Elegance." The "Olympian Flair" is for the lady with a love for the heights, perhaps a refugee from the bee- hive. Then, the country girl might like to simply wear "Natural Grace." As to colors, the sky's the limit. Leave on the old color and add a few new. Or Miss Elegance might want to make her debut in hair of a completely different tone than last year, with streaks of three or four others. They're tip- ping, streaking, blending and tint- ing. This year, though, don't ask for a dye job or tint. We have our hair toned, my dear. At a flick of the bottle, you can be an ash blonde, silver blonde, platinum blonde or chiffon blonde. However, in the backwoods of Ann Arbor we remain a half year' behind the continentals. Fear not for your twist until next year. The bohemians and beatniks still have free rein. They still wear half-twisted and half-billowing, or all swept from ear to ear. All over campus, we see wild barrettes, piles of hair, holes in piles of hair, and plane surfaces on hair. Truly, they engineer these with a French curve. Distinctive Purses Created in Fur, Tapestry Prints Tapestries are the most revo- lutionary style in handbags this year. Still popular, however, are the fur blend and leopard, and the usual 'lizzigator' and alligator. The success of the tapestries partly stems from the fact that they can be worn with a variety of colors. Colorful without being gaudy, the designs range from narratives to purely decorative floral pat- terns. The fur blend and leopard are carry-overs from last year: Al-' ways popular have been the liz- zigator and alligator and the black leather bag. Regardless of the new, exciting styles, practical- minded college coeds seem to pre- fer the large casual bag for casual wear and the small classic clutch bag for dress.

State By JUDITH SATTLER In a college community where the main means of transportation is walking, a coed's shoes become as important as a good set of tires on the Ford. Sneakers, of course, 'are the "universal shoe." The casual coed may wear them without socks, but the majority stick to white sneakers with white wool socks, Variations on Theme Variations on this theme are being provided this year with red, blue, and black sneakers, which seem fairly popular. Cordoroy ver- sions are also available, as well as last year's wool lined types for winter. Loafers have become walking shoes, but they are cut lower and have more, delicate styling than the original loafer. Sensible Brown Oxfords The "sensible" brown oxford which formerly belonged only to "plain janes," has also been trans- formed. Updated versions are lightweight and lowcut, with a more feminine look. Contrasting the trend to more feminine-looking shoes is the boot fad. Boots come in all lengths, from ankle to knee, and are usual- ly bright-colored. They are won- derfulfor extended walking, espe- cially on botany fieldtrips through the bogs. In high-heeled shoes, the classic pump, or slight variations, are still the favorite, featuring bows and other small decorations. Black op- era pumps, in leather or suede, are now the wear-everywhere, wear- with-anything shoe for winter. Other heels tend to stick to neu- tral, dark colors for fall and win- ter, with a few bright reds seen here and there. Dark brown is a special favorite for fall, because it goes well with the "wood and leaf" colors of fall clothes. For formal wear, silk, satin, and brocade dyed-to-match shoes are in vogue. Plastic shoes, which can be worn with many different col- ors, are also popular for formal wear. As for the shape of things to come, toes seem to be staying pointed, or even becoming more pointed, both on high heels, and on flats. A new development seems to be the squared-off toe, which resembles a pointed toe with the end snipped off. While plain shell flats are most common, there are whimsical dec- orations which can be attached to them, giving an unusual touch; bunches of leaves, straw flowers, coins, miniature footballs, and little cat faces are only a few of the toe decorations sold. Flats are available in colors which match a dress or purse, or even covered with the same fabric as a dress. However, the favorite is still the solid black flat, or its red or navy counterpart. A slightly dressier form of the flat is the shoe with a three-quar- ter inch pegged heel. This "Queen Anne heel" gives Just a suggestion of a high heel, while keeping the comfort of lower shoes.
