I' b 15, x.964 THE. MIClIGAN DAILY in A F Stfl cil 15, 196'k THE MIC!JIGAN DAILY P.,AUL is New Women's Coats Show an All-Occasion Trend) Progress Aids Creation Of Elegant Night Goww By CHRISTINE LINDER Several new styles are being featured in women's rainwear this season. Women are wearing plas- tic or rubber slickers in bright colors, detective-style trenchcoats and bright plaids. The slicker, like those worn by firemen and sailors, usually comes in bright red or yellow and is made of plastic or rubber. It is fastened with metal clasps or zip- pers and is guaranteed waterproof. The new look in trenchcoats is the detective style, belted with a turn-up collar. It may be worn with or without the belt and comes in solid and neutral colors. - Plaids Brighter Plaids are brighter than usual. In addition to the large plaids in more subdued tones, small plaid patterns with intense colors like those in slickers are common. Many prints, also in bright colors, are being sold. The bright plaids are found in both plastic materials like the slickers and the usual trenchcoat fabrics. The traditional trenchcoat, un- belted and in beige, green, black, white or blue is still around. New solid colors are navy and maroon, following the prevalence in other types of clothing. With the exception of the de- tective-style collar, collars tend to be small and may be in a fabric different from the rest of the garment. Velveteen or suede, bor-I dered by the same fabric- as the rest of the garment, is common. Purses Show The Problems A Woman Has Much has been said about wom- en's purses. People joke about their size, the paraphernalia carried in them and many othet things. What most men don't realize is the vital necessity for large purses and the things that women carry in them. There are two reasons why women need the extra space of a large purse. First, women's clothes are not covered with pockets like men's suits and pants are. In fact, there is a conspicuous ab- eence of pockets in women's clothes. Second, women, have to carry more things with them. One of a girl's biggest problems when ,she goes to a fancy dress party. where she can't take a big purse, is finding some place to car- ry the things that are necessary for her continued good appear- ance. They Need More Why do women seem to need so many more things than men? It is a characteristic of the femi- nine personality that they are more conscious of their appear- ance. Very few boys will look at a girl if her hair is in her face. Also, a woman's appearance is harder to keep up. Her hair is longer, she is expected to wear makeup, and she is expected to wear a variety of different style clothes for the variety of the dif- ferent social occasions that arise. The average man on campus could go through the entire day on campus in just a suit, go out that night in the same clothes and still not offend anyone. A girl on the other hand has to go change her clothes, wash and set her hair, and go through all sorts of com- plicated processes to look attrac- tive on a date. THIS SEASON'S FASHIONS have been emphasized by the attractive styles available for all occasions this spring. Shown here are two examples of the latest trends in rainwear and in the more formal cape coat. FEMININE: Bangles, Beads Emphasize A Jewel Year of Fashion Cosmetic Users Make. Change To In formal Looking Colors By CAROLE SHIRKEY Bangles and beads are "in" for spring jewelry on campus. Next season's trends toward wearing m o r e jewelry will emphasize bright, muted, pastel colors with larger size but definitely feminine jewelry. Ann Arbor dealers report 'that this will be a "jewelry year." Uni- versity women will be wearing more bracelets, pins, necklaces and earrings to highlight and accent shifts and other plain and simple styles that are so popular on campus. Almost all fashion jewelry for this spring will be made of num- erous types of plastics and syn- thetics. Gold and sterling silver are disappearing particularly from daytime wear; although they may reappear in mid-summer. Little Sport Clothes Set 'Masculine' Trend Ever since the. emancipation of women the trend in sports clothes has become more and more "mas- culine." The traditional skirts have given way to slacks and bermudas. This has raised some displeasure among the male sex. The mascu- line female clothes style just does not seem to appeal. Women, however, are not about to give up the comfort of slacks and bermudas simply to satisfy some male quirk.. With typical fe- male ingenuity they've managed to work out a compromise this' year. The new culotte style com- bines the comfort of slacks and bermudas with the feminine looks of the skirt. On the other hand, however, there is the particularly mas- culine view that there is some- thing very much to be desired in having women year slacks and bermudas. So while the intellectuals and moral philosophers object to re- cent fashions, the campus John Q. is fighting hard in their favor. OPEN MON. TILL 8:30 will be seen of ornaments made of wood and cork. Flat and Round Beads Accenting daytime garments will be long chains of flat and round beads of bright and often gaudy colors. The five or six strands of bright beads will alsohbe popular in necklaces, while the trend in bracelets has and still is moving sharply toward the single band or "bangle" bracelet. New spring versions of these bangle bracelets come in a variety of colors and designs such as stripes and polka dots. These bangle bracelets are one of the main contributors to the new, wilder, "native look," because women will not only wear them in the traditional way, around the wrist, but also around the arm, just above or below the elbow. Band bracelets especially for the ankle will replace ankle chains and compliment sporty slacks or ber- muda outfits. Jewelry in the same line of bright beads and bracelets will highlight evening and dressy gar- ments, but silver and gold will also be popular with this type of dress. Pierced Ears Popular Tailored drop and button ear- rings are becoming more common and pierced ears are popular at the University. The "Cleopatra" look has died out and sunburst and serpent necklaces, rhinestone tiaras and jewels have gone out of style. Jewelry will be bigger, brighter and more noticeable, and college women will wear more of it with their school, casual, and dressy clothes. By JUDY BARNETT Down wth Cleopatra and My Fair Lady. Up with Navy Pink Night, Cool Sands, Cat's Eye Green and Tiger Eye. These were the recent outcries from c o s m e t i c manufacturers ranging from Revlon to Germaine Monteil. After three years of the corpse-white look, make-up artists have turned to a new natural, in- formal line for spring. The new look in makeup is deli- cate, colorful, and soft. Black eyes and white lips are taboo, as beiges, blues and brilliant pinks steal the scene. Cleopatra will pack her bags and leave campus and the all- American girl will at last return. Eyes Are Out? Eyes are on the way out. No longer will focus be on heavily lined lids and lashes. Fine lines on lids remain as the only apparent trace of make-up. A touch of eye- shadow for evening prevails with shadow hues muted to blues, greys and greens. Most excitement in the shadow field has been caused by a newly- developed gold or platinum dust- ing powder to be applied after the lighter shades. Once again, make- up manufacturers have outdone themselves in naming their pro- ducts. Cat's Eye Green, Tiger Eye, Platinum Sable, and Lynx Green head the list. With less eye attraction, lips are receiving most attention this year. Gay, Adventurous "Lips are gay, light, adventur- ous, with brige new colors from pace setter shades," Germaine Monteil, cosmetic manufacturer, commented. 'Colors are soft with- out being dull and radiant without being hard. Lips go gay with bril- liant pinks." Tones for lipsticks have gone from slab-white to colorful, yet pale, tones. Younger girls will go from pink to rose shades. Older women will choose deeper rose to red hues. All shades have been designed to compliment this spring's navy and oyster - white - beige fashion colors. Both shades and names are in close competition for original- ity this spring with Navy Pink Day, Cool Sands and Navy Pink Night highlighting display win- dows everywhere. Perfumes for Personality Foundation and perfumes re- main chosen to blend with indi- vidual need and personality. On the whole, make-up will be used sparingly and colors turned more to beiges and tans. Foundation- powder mixtures will be popular as the greasy and layer looks go out. Rouge takes on new life in the fashion s c e n e. Newly - developed brush-on cake rouge has set a new pace for cosmetologists. Even fresher than this is a new under- coat rouge which has emerged just in time for spring lines. Both types of rouge attempt to give an overall rosy, fresh look. All in all, recent cosmetic trends are giving American women a much fresher, more natural, look. Cape coats are a high fashion item that will be a rare sight in typically conservative Ann Arbor. The cape has been promoted by fashion magazines in recent years but has never been a popular item and won't be- this spring. Promo- tion for capes is currently higher than usual but any trend of buying capes will be limited and short lived. This may be because utility is not a characteristic of the cape. It lends itself neither to carrying books or driving a car. If short enough, it is convenient for riding a bicycle although then it is gross- ly out of character. For the girl with a surplus of spring apparel and a flair for highly fashionable attire, the cape can be a strikingly feminine addi- tion to her wardrobe. Cape coats are available in slightly military tailored forms and dramatically flowing untail- ored half circles. Some sleeved coats reflect the cape influence having a slightly caped effect at the shoulders- Suits and dresses have been ap- pearing with a cape. A basic sheath with a cape of various length represents the common mode in cape dresses. Capes re- place the coat in suits and re- quire that the blouse be tucked in. Tucked in blouses with cape suits influence this practice in suits in general. Generally, however, despite its difficult characteristics, the cape coat appears to be here to stay at least for a while. Pastel Blouses' Bring in Style This Summer Nothing heralds the arrival of spring more than packing away ski sweaters, crew-necks, and bulky cable knits. The ever-popu- lar tailored blouse then steps into the fashion spotlight. Spring 1964 brings news of the new Arnel crepe blouses in lovely pastel shades. These smart blouses, to be worn under shifts or with suits, also come in 100 per cent Dacron. Special features include softly folded collars and long ties. Soft and feminine is the look for this spring. Also new this spring is the "old- fashioned" blouse which has been popularized by the movie "Tom Jones." Made up in fine cottons, these blouses will be seen in white and other soft shades of blue, pink and yellow. An extremely feminine variation is this style made up in white dotted Swiss. "Old World" fabrics have added to the effects to be gained by the "old-fashioned" blouse. By ROBERTA POLLACK On those cold wintry nights, when only a wooden log separated families from the brutal outdoors and their bodies, sleeping wear had to be heavy and above all, warm. Pioneer women found it neces- sary to sleep in heavy undercloth- ing, overclothing, and thick home- spun night gowns that might pos- sibly keep out the cold. This bulk of clothing was then supplement- ed by heavy blankets and cover- lets. But science progressed, and soon Americans discovered that marve- lous device of indoor heating. Women didn't pass up their chance. From those bulky, un- gainly bundles they had worn to sleep in, they passed to beautiful, elegant, and, more often than not, scanty night wear. Elegance from Hollywood Elegant sleep wear, particularly popularized by romantic movies of Hollywood's imagination, became the idea purchase for women of America, This spring, styles are showing a revival of long night- gowns, and a new innovative note. The long nightgowns range from delicate prints of cotton to sweep- ing negligees of silk. The delicate printed nightgowns that generally have high buttoned necks adorn- ed with faint lace ruffles, are highly reminiscent of old fashion- ed sweetness. The gradual progres- sion from this modest style to the daring scantiness of Hollywood fame can be seen in the spring styles of night wear. Dacron night gowns are particularly popular this season with their lightweight qual- ity. And, of course, there are the negligees. The lovely peignoirs are ever popular, and young girls have their fantasies fed on by the lus- cious pictures in ads and on tele- vision. Night Shirts Popular But probably the most, popular style of this season is the night shirt. Girls find the cotton, loose fitting outfits extremely com- fortable and extremely stylish. The night shirts can Le pur- chased in prints, plaids, or stripes. Even the patch work pattern has become extremely popular, and night shirts made of wildly clash- ing patterned patches can be pur- chased. Another favorite form of sleep wear is the ever popular college night shirt. These night shirts made of jersey, have a V-neck, short sleeves and extend to the knees where they are slit. U--______ One of the cutest adornments of these shirts is the night cap that goes with them. Of a color or pat- tern matching that of the shirt itself, it adds character to the out- fit. Many have found that the addition of tights and a long- sleeved jersey produce an elfin look, often quite desirable. Of course, night gowns and night shirts have not entirely taken over the market for women's pajamas. Pajamas, particularly shorties, are, as always, extremely popular. In either models resembling blouses and bermuda outfits or blouse and jamaica shorts outfit, these are perennially popular. The shorty pajama comes in many different styles. The top may be bloused and long, coming al- most to the knee, or else it may be very short, alnost a bikini type style. Bikini Pajamas Incidentally, the bikini is not going to be only on the beaches, Its popularity has spread to the bedroom. Young women every- where are cooly and comfortably dressing themselves in the scanty bikini pajamas for those hot sum- mer nights. What, though, has been worn to cover these sleeping outfits? Bath- robes, of every color and style have invaded the market. In par- ticular, the long bathrobe is be- coming popular. Very often, this long bathrobe is of a fitted style that flares out at the waist and then reaches the floor. Or else, the robe may clutch at the waist and then very gently curve to the floor. Short robes, too, are quite pop- ular. These come in most every color and are characterized by wild color combinations. The three quarter length sleeve of these robes is particularly popular. - But a woman's sleeping outfit is not completed when she has her gown and robe. Two other essen- tials are needed: slippers and a night cap. The slippers are gen- erally of a matching color so they go well with the robe. Probably the most popular slippers of today are the soft ped type covering that fold easily and bend comfort- ably with the foot. They come in about every shade and pattern with interesting patterns and de- signs. Of course, this does not mean' that the ever popular elegant high heeled slipper is out of the picture. The sling backed slipper and the golden slipper are, as always, very popular.
