'U' Women Wear Colorful Fall Casua l
Although the average Michigan
woman gets little wear from pants
during class days, she selects bold
and imaginative bermudas, slacks
and culottes for her wardrobe.
Plaid wool slacks are the stand-
ard mainstay of a college ward-
rpbe. These slacks, either tapered
above the ankles or falling slight-
ly below them, come in a variety
of Scotch tartan plaids. Reds,
blues, and dark greens are often
mixed with alternating stripes of
yellow, turquoise or light green.
Short kilts with double buckles
and a large safety pin for both
decoration and utility have be-
come a substitute for pants on
many casual campus occasions.
'Hip-Huggers'
The new "hip-hugger" waistline
features a low-slung waist which
is encircled by a thin string belt.
The "hip-hugger'" look has also
been adapted to wool straight or
pleated skirts.
Ski pants, made of a tight-fit-
ting wool jersey, may also appear
in colder weather. These pants
come in a variety of colors with
black being the most popular.
The "western look" embodies the*
"hip-hugger" line, but is made of
denim rather than standard wool.
Knee Tickling Skirts
Short knee tickling skirts .in sol-
id colors have acquired suspenders
giving them a tyrolean flair. The
suspenders may be of a contrast-
ing color to the skirt and blouse.
Wool, madras and cotton print
bermudas are worn in the early
months of fall. The bermudas are
combined with knee socks, often of
brilliant colors or even bold stripes.
Madras still remains the most pop-
ular plaid pattern for shorts, but
paisley has found some following
among Michigan women.
A holdover from the golfing days
of the roaring twenties is knickers.
While not as popular this fall, they
continue to come in a vast array
of bright plaids and fabrics. They
are usually worn with high socks
or tights of red or black.
Shift Dress
To Highlight
Fall Apparel
By DONNA ROBINSON
The new look in dresses for this
fall is "the spare look," character-
ized by its "uncluttered, feminine"
air, reports one Ann Arbor cloth-
ing store employe.
The main representative of this
look is the shift, a straight, loose-
fitting dress, shaped somewhat like
the sack, but usually worn with a
belt.
One variation comes with an
elasticized waist. Made in nearly
every fabric from brocade to cor-
duroy, the shift is worn for both
casual and dressy occasions.
The shift, as well as other aft-
ernoon and evening dresses usually
comes with a round jewel neckline
and no sleeves.
The sheath is still the most pop-
ular style for dressier, occasions,
but full dresses are also beginning
to appear, a manager of another
store in Ann Arbor said. Another
popular style is the two-or-three
piece suit-dress.
Fabrics often used in sheaths in-
clude silk, silk-rayon, silk-orlon
and matte jersey-a soft material
which drapes smoothly and flat-
teringly. A new technique known
as "double knit" allows the manu-
facturer to treat a knit like a com-
mon fabric, with no lining nec-
essary. Tweeds, nubby knits and
mohair are also popular.
There is a trend back to longer
evening dresses. One example in
an Ann Arbor store is a floor-
length evening skirt which is worn
with a simple black velvet top.
The most prominent colors this
fall are brown and white. There
is still a wide choice of colors, al-
though they are more subdued
than last fall.
By MARILYN KORAL
Campus coats this year have
classic lines with a new sophisti-
cation for evening wear and add-
ed warmth and practicality for
everyday jackets.
Chesterfields are in biggest de-
mand, but more tweed patterns
will appear than last year. The
coats are tremendously practical
because of their versatility, and the
chesterfield can be worn to classes,
football games or concerts in the
evening.
Fur-collared wools are back
again but tweed is appearing more
often with the fur trim. Popular
colors include olives and the tra-
ditional camel.
Nylon Jackets
Replacing the heavy ski jackets
of past seasons are nylon shell
wind-breakers. The coats are
warm, well-insulated and weather-
proof. The keynote of the season
for coats-versatility-also applies
to ski jackets. These jackets are
useful for chilly autumn days and
will combat the strong winds of
March in early spring.
Under-knits are the newest item
in school jackets. Sleeves and tur-
tle-neck of heavy wool are pop-
ular in the wool, large-ribbed cor-
duroy, leather, cotton suede or
brushed suede styles. Pile lining
insures extra warmth in this jack-
et.
Novelty Fur
Novelty fur additions are pop-
ular in dress coats this fall. Wraps
at Homecoming may have either
beaver trims or the classic black
fur collar.-
Colors for the season are camel,
subtle olive and grey tweeds. Black
is still an oldtime favorite. Red is
coming back this season, partic-
ularly in car jackets and the wind-
breakers.
Coats Feature New Sophistication
ALLURING LIONESS AND FRIEND-The solemn, scholastic beauty of Angell Hall is greatly en-
hanced by a model in matching wool knit sweater with tight stretch pants who sits waiting for
her manly "prey."' Her friend wears solid, sturdy wool slacks with a round-neck tartan top which is
guaranteed to keep her warm in the coldest Ann Arbor winds.
SMILE IN STYLE-Waiting for a bus by the Union can be fun
when you catch the boys' eyes with your black and white tweed
coat. This item has a big black knitted collar, attached black knit
cuffs and patch pockets.

Necklaces reflect the trend to-

The "Cleopatra necklace" is one
of gold links with bright colored
gems hanging the full length of
the bib.
Earrings are worn longer and
more dangling than ever. They are
most popular in black, gold or a
combination of these.
Bangle bracelets, sometimes
three, four or five on an arm, will
be worn this season. More con-.
trasting colors and mixing of
bracelets will predominate.

and flattering appearance, accord-
ing to a local optician.
Black is the most popular color
for eyeglass frames for both men
and women. Women, however,
sometimes choose neutral shades
of brown to blend with hair col-
or. Neutral colors do not make
the wearers appear less attractive,
but neither do they enhance their
attractiveness. Black serves as a
co n t r a s t and is considered
"dressy.'"
Few Jewels
Jewels and trims are very sel-
dom worn on frames by women
under 40. After 40 women tend to
feel that they need a "lift," and
wear more highly decorated frames
just as they wear more make-up.
The clip-on plastic frames in dif-
ferent colors which were popular
a few years ago are no longer man-
ufactured.' The plastic pieces had
to be clipped on yellow gold
frames, but the yellow gold made
the wearer appear older and the
colored pieces popped off at odd
moments.
Tinted 'contact lenses are also
growing in popularity. Light is
brighter to the wearer of contact
lenses than frame glasses and tint-
ing helps to tone it down. Women
also enjoy changing the color of
their eyes.
Large and extra-large sunglasses
with heavy frames, a growing fad
imported from tEurope, are often
worn by convertible and sports car
enthusiasts.
er woman, making her appear tall-
er and slimmer.
Emphasis is on waves, with a
minimum of curl. Any fullness of
style is from the eyebrow to the
crown of the head, where hair is
longest (four'" to five inches). Use
of many broad waves practically
eliminates back - combing and
gives the new hairdo's a casual
look. Waves may sweep up or
down but maintain the weight of
the hair at thre top of the head
while setteling over the ears.
Short Hair
Hair is short but shuns the
masculine shingled look. There
are very few or no bangs.
"The trend to smooth, close-
fitting hair is a direct result of
clothing fashions originating from
New York, Paris and other design
centers," one hairstylist com-
mented.
"As designs in shoes, furs, jewels,
and dresses change, so hair de-
signs change, but all must com-
pliment each other."
Compliments Dress
"A woman with a new Dior crea-
tion is as dowdy ,as her country
cousin if her hairstyle is not fash-
ioned to compliment her dress,"
she said.
Like dress designers, hair dress-
ers "seek to interpret the life and
habits of their respective coun-
tries through creative hair styles.
In France, for example, hair
dressers are showing the heartline
style which waves the hair high
and full at the top and sides, leav-
ing the chin as the base of the
heart.
Fair Lady Look
The Germans this year are
strongly favoring the fair lady
look, an asymetrical style which
weights most of the hair on one
side.
Yet while hair dressers of dif-
ferent countries express a differ-
ent feeling for the empire and
oriental lines, all agreed on the
new hair silhouette-smooth and
close-fitting around the ears and
neck.
The American version of the
silhouette is the dancing wave
style. It features broad waves
which sweep up and down which
seem to set the hair dancing in
the loose swirl of its waves.
New Experiment Waves
The loose waves of this season's
hairdos require a new concept in
permanent waves: smoothly set
waves intermittment with close
underneath curls for strength.
"Frosting and tipping will main-
tain their popularity provided, the
natural hair is always compli-
mented by the lighter, bleached
areas. Every shade of hair has a
degree to which it may be light-
ened, the lighter shades with
blond, the darker with red. To go
beyond these limits mean that
color harmony is exceeded and
may approach a premature grey
appearance."
More Color Conscious
"American women have become
more color conscious in the last
few years and will probably con-
tinue to be so as long as they con-
tinue to be born with drab hair,"
he concluded.
The Official Hair Fashion Com-
mittee, a national group of hair-
stylists, is doing much to keep the
American woman hair conscious.
"The intent of the OHFC is not
to mass produce a national look
in hair-do's," one spokesman re-
lated, "but to inspire American
women to be as timely in choos-
ing their hair fashions as their
clothes and to coordinate both
for the well-groomed stylishness
they desire."
Austrian women will wear the
"lady twist," a chic style which
shows the hair combed back from
the front and top forward to the
ears.
To Change Nails
The problem of changing nail
polish when switching from bright
orange to bright pink outfits can
be easily solved by applying a coat
of true red polish, which will go
with either color.
Jumpers, to substitute in an
old cliche,sare a girl's best friend.
They are not strictly for school
wear or dress occasions, but the
same jumper can go well in both
situations, merely by removing or
adding a blouse.
For dress wear, the plain jump-
er, worn with simple beads in the
same or complementary color, goes
off to concerts, the theatre or Sat-
urday night dates with the wearer
assured that she is properly dress-
ed.
Casual Wear
The jumper with a pert white
blouse underneath, showing its col-
lar and sleeves or a print blouse
in the same tones as the jumper,
is just as much in style for cas-
ual wear.
The advantages of the jumper
revolve around the fact that they
are versatile. The variety of styles
and materials only help to add to
the versatility.
The newest style in jumpers is
the shift-dress. This particular
jumper can be worn with or with-
out a waist line which may be
produced by adding a tie around
the waist. The long lean look is
just as stylish as the slick sheath,
and both effects can be produced
with the same dress.
Variety of Shifts
The shifts come in a variety of
materials but primarily are seen
in cotton for summer or sheer wool
for winter. Most of the outfits are
in solid colors which allows the
wearer to dress the jumper up or
down with the blouse.
Wide flare skirts adorn jumpers
"The trend in hair coloring
continue towards the reds,"
ports one hairstylist.
this year as never before. With a
flattering waistline the skirt gent-
ly falls in loose unpressed pleats;
beginning at the hips. These
jumpers are seen primarily in solid
colors, although many are in some
of the newest Scotch plaids.
The corduroy jumper is retain-
ing its popularity among .college
women. The jumper acts as a good
transitional outfit from fall to
winter and winter to spring. Bright
colors accent the casual nature of
most of the jumpers. Wide-whale
cord is most popular since it not
only looks nice but wears better
than the conventional standard
cord.
Belts 'Reflect
Straw Trend
The trend in woman's belts this
year is towards straw which comes
in many colors and adjusts to any
waist:
Also popular are string and tie
belts. Some madras belts have
appeared but, for the most part,
the Michigan girls prefer cum-
merbunds of madras.
Plaid and solid-color hair rib-
bons are in style. Scarves are
worn under coats at the neck, and
smaller-squared ones worn on the
head.
With an eye to practicality, al-
most every Michigan woman has
an umbrella usually with a long
handle and pointed tip. The lead-
ing color is black.

Jumper Retains Popularity
As Favorite Campus Outfit
Paris designs are sharing the
spotlight with reflections of Ameri-
can, Russian and Italian fashions
in an international look which is
young, casual and elegant.
American fashion emphasizes
the short length skirt, a little
longer than before, but still just
barely covering the knee.
Fur hats in the Russian mode
and more fur trimmings play an
important role in the internation-
al fashion drama. Australia con-
tributes -oppossum to the fantastic
Paris fur collection which includes
tiger, zebra, squirrel, mink, leop-
ard and striped or polka-dotted
fox.
Paris still dominates the inter-
national collection and a Parisian
flair enhances almost every new
creation.
Paris is excited about the "pants
look." Culottes, whether real or
fake, are very much in evidence
on the fashion scene.
Leathers, either capeskin or
suede, tweeds and houndstooth
checks are used by Paris design-
ers in a multitude of stunning con-
coctions. Tweed remains as the
basic of the newest collections.
High - standing collars, deep
shawls and stoles enhance Paris
fashions with a look of muffled
elegance. Stoles are worn with
suits, dresses and coats.
Waistlines fall anywhere or may
be left off entirely. Empire, nor-
mal and low waistlines appear, but
the shifts, "skimeses" and glove
dresses ignore their existence.
Jackets, like skirts, are getting
longer. Many of them assume more
definite style by the addition''of a
belt.
