'T'HE I IICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, MARCH 17} T+- ____AN D IL TIJR__Y MRAI_., 9 EASTER CHAPEAUS-Whether milady prefers the large cartwheel or a petite pill box hat, she'll find it this spring in straw. Modeling three popular versions are from left to right, Barbara Green- field, '56, Bert Peacock, '55, and Na'ncy Kovack, '55. Coe-dsSelect New SpringBonnets py HARRIETTE SIMINGTON Coeds do buy hat-s. Many students will indulge in a new bonnet for the Easter sea- son. The styles they'll- see this spring will be either very large or tiny in size. Mrs. Anya Finkel, a local buyer, explained, "More girls are learn- ing to wear hats to improve their personality and appearance and to learn to meet the public on the public's terms." Larger Styles Featured The larger hats, which look best oh coeds with long hair, are either picture hats or sailor styles with large rolled brims. The smaller hats are pill boxese with "loads" of tiower trimmings. Most styles this season rest near the front of the head. Multi-colored straw is the prin- cipal fabric this year, with flower trimmings all the rage. Many stores are showing pastel-colored hats with a single matching flow- er tilted across the brim. Many chapeaus this season make good use of avocado green, introduced as a new color in the fall. The old standbys-navy, blue and black-are still favorites. White., trimming decorates the darker colors, with yellow, laven- der and pink favorites among the pastel shades. Large and small polka dots dec- orate many hats. Some are dabbed on ribbons and veils, while others can be seen covering the whole hat. Few feathers are noticed, but salesclerks say "more will appear." For regular special events Uni- versity men and women are apt to disagree with the fashion experts on fiats. As one freshman, Marilyn Carnegie, '58, said, "Hats in Ann Arbor's rainy weather are imprac- tical and a nuisance. The only hat I would consider wearing is the one that goes with my slicker!" Michigan men agree. George Bard, '56, commented, "I'm not fond of hats for two reasons: first, they are impractical and second, some hat fashions are very silly." Men Voice Opinions Another student, Howard T. Howard, '58SM, declared, "I don't like to see hats on women. I'd rather see their hair-not hats on top of the hair." Gil Wolter, '57E, summed up the case when he said, "It's just a matter of personal taste, but I don't go for hats!" "The reason coeds don't wear hats more often, Beverly Hough- ten, '56, maintained, "is that they aren't socially accepted here. We hesitate to wear hats on a date for fear of being laughed at. I wear a hat to church and believe that{ everyone should." Experts Advise According to the experts, best taste exacts that in town a hat be worn with street clothes in the daytime, especially in church. With an incorrect. may take evening dress A flower or its place. a hat is ornament Smart Styles Enter Spring Shoe Picture Soft Pastel Leathers, New Fabric Materials Gain Fashion Honors By JANET JAGUSCH Flattering color, novel mater- ials, and smart styling captivate the spring shoe picture. Soft pastels in leather and liz- ard are sweeping the country. This spring pink stands out as the best bet for shoe fashion honors. Vivid reds and blues highlight' milady's dark costumes. Warm honey calfs compliment her brown ensembles. Green and brown tones are artistically blended into such delightful combinations as avocado, coffee-frost, pine, and sapling. Lady of Pearl Introduced Besides the emphasis on color, shoe manufacturers are introduc- ing new fabrics. The Panama lady of pearl is a stunning addi- tion to the patent leather family. As its name implies, it closely re- sembles the sheen and luxury of a cultured pearl. Vinylite enters the picture in open, airy styles. Luster calf with a silky smoothness and glis- tening luster is both smart and lovely. Prospective buyers will find it difficult to resist these re- freshing additions to their shoe wardrobe. Styling this spring on the whole combines high fashion and solid comfort. The modified Spanish toe gives a definite illusion of slenderness. American women now may purchase this shoe with the pointed toe effect but without the discomfort of the conventional pointed toe. Straps, Slings Return Halter straps and slings have returned in number and occupy a prominent position in the shoe picture. Jeweled and plain mules stand foremost in evening shoe wear. The trend is definitely more exposed, airy styles. However, the opera pump re- mains a favorite of many fashion conscious women. White stitching highlights many of the plain styles, providing a slight contrast. Versatility endears the pump to women in all phases of life. Straws and nylon mesh in com- binations of tan, beige and white will receive foremost play in later months. Indications from local stores seem to imply that this spring's shoe picture is extremely bright. By MARJI BLUTTMAN Those wonderful daydreams of sunny days on Miami's golden beaches and dancing under the sultry night sky will soon come true. Hundreds of University women will travel to famed resort spots throughout the country this April. Every means of locomotion will be used from hitchhiking to a first- class plane trip. The main prob- lem is: what is the appropriate at- tire? The Florida-bound gal should be stocked with cool cottons for daytime or evening wear, either in new pastel shades or printed with modern motifs. Flared Skirts Always popular are strapless dresses with flared skirts that come with matching or contrast- ing stoles. Several of the 1955 models consist of candy-striped, scoop necked dresses in polished cotton topped by orlon cardigans with matching trim. For afternoon strolling or sight- seeing, Dior's H-line in blouse and skirt ensembles is ideal. This lat- est look has hit the realm of cot- ton. It faithfully reproduces the characteristics of its woolen or tweed sister. The slit in the slim skirt Is there. This tropical edition also demands one or more ropes of Chanel beads. A chic dresser will match her beads with the frames of her all-important sunglasses. Middy Swim Suits ' Bathing suits, which come in middy and tank suit styles this season as well as in the classic modes, are perhaps the number one items on every vacationer's list. Shorts and pedal-pushers are rarely worn because of the ex- tremely hot midday sun. Swim suits with matching jack- ets or capes are ideal for both the nautical and the non-swimmers. Floppy straw hats provide won- derful protection from the sun's rays. Footwear is as important in an outfit as the dress Itself. Low- heeled or flat sandals are perfect for daytime or beach use, while high-heeled models are made for outdoor patio dancing. Plain fiats and pumps are fine, if they are in light or bold shades of leather. Dark colors rarely look well, and suede is absolutely passe! Warm tones in sheer hose are best, in seamless and sandal styles. Moving on to Eastern resorts such as Atlantic City, one finds the vogue in dress quite different, Here, because of cool ocean winds and a more temperate climate, clothing is heavier and more spring-like. Mornings on the Boardwalk will be the scene of Bermuda and Ja- maica shorts or pedal pushers in such fabrics as denim, corduroy, sailcloth and linen. Word with sailor-boy blouses in jersey or ter- ry-cloth, these casual fancy-pants will give visitors to New Jersey's Atlantic shores that authentic sea faring touch. Dresses in linen and rayon with accompanying jackets are well- suited for late afternoon. Dark colors are brightened by the addi- tion of well-chosen cotton gloves, tote bags, shoes, cosmopolitan jewelry and cloche hats. Fleece Toppers For cool evenings, a fleece top- per in a new spring shade affords ample protection against crisp April weather in the East. The Far West look this season is sleek, long-lined and simple. Popular in California is the one- piece tube PHOTOPLAYI MAGAZINE */ BY THE BEAUTIFUL SEA: Gay Attire for Sunny Resort Wear Introduced In town at formal receptions, teas, luncheons and meetings wom- en guests usually keep hats on if they have worn them. However, the lack of a hat would, probably not be remarked upon. Even at formal luncheons the modern hos- tess often suggests that guests leave their hats with their coats. Hats worn with dinner suits or dinner dresses are intended to remain in place throughout the evening and are usually tiny enough not to obstruct the view of those behind one. In the country when hats are worn at all by women, they may be removed with coats if desired. At garden parties or at garden weddings, it is a matter of pref- erence whether a woman who has been shown to a cloak room first decides to remove her hat or leave it on. Probably the most novel mani- cure product on the market at this time is the new spray nail enamel. Guaranteed to dry nail polish in seconds, it has no harmful ef- fects. It even contains a mild antiseptic, thereby reducing the risk of infection. Used after the top coat has been applied, it will protect nail polish from smudg- ing.

Always in good taste are Bermudas with shirts in fabulous colors of flamin- go, hyacinth, turquoise or topaz gold. Tall pyramid hats and brashly- striped denim beach slacks are common on the Coast. Also pair lightweight kilties with cotton knee-length socks. Huge bags, hoods, beehive hats, cork-heeled open toe footwear and lightweight coats in gabardine or rayon and nylon linen complete the picture of the visiting coed.
