PAGE TWENTY THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, AUG. 12, 1939 Casualness Is Emphasized In Selection Of Wardrobe For C v ampus s r - Simple Wool Dresses Are AlwaysSmart Sweaters And Skirts Are Mainstays Of Collegiate Wardrobe For This Fall By ALICE RYDELL By their clothes ye shall know them, so if you don't want to be labeled a spanking-green freshman, select your wardrobe for casualness. Simple wool dresses are always smart for clsroom as well as informal dates. Crisp white collars and cuffs are flat- tering accents, but think of the laun- dering! Better choose those wool I@tsses plain, because our bet is tt you'll never have free evenings to sew on all the little white details. Mainstays Of Wardrobe Sweaters and skirts are the main- stay of all college wardrobes. You will probably bring most attractive tailored dresses, but ten to one, you'll live in a couple of pet sweaters and skirts. In order to give life to this classic uniform, try unusual color combinations. It's wise not to get too loosely woven woolens for the skirts, because continual sitting in classrooms has a tendency to make skirts bag, and the more tightly wov- en fabrics always hold their shape better. Plaids will be especially good for skirts this fall, particularly in genuine Scotch clan patterns. The material is often worked on the bias in pleated skirts to give a definite 1939 air. Then there are the old favorites, gored or pleated skirts, with stitching on the seams and plain or British hems. If you like the pressed- in gores, be sure to pay enough to be certain of their being "steeled in." This insures permanency which a mere pressed-in gore will not have. And it's a good idea to have zipper plackets in all your skirts. New Jersey Pullover A new idea to wear with skirts is the jersey pull-over that is loose and hip-length with push-up sleeves. This is particularly good with pat- terned woven skirts. Windbreaker jackets, also with push-up sleeves, coupled with patterned skirts and bright blouses are more college girls' meat. A sweater wardrobe is a pi'ime necessity, from baby-soft an- goras to hardy woolens. Cashmeres and shetlands are always in style and practical too, because you'll be sudsing thm out yourself, probably. Look for unusual shades such as grape- wine and odd greens and fuschias wlen you're buying sweaters. Styles are mostly plain cardigans and slip- overs. Hooded cardigans are some- thing new. The Brooks type of cardi- gan is the best-loose and baggy and long. Wear it with or without a belt. Enough for sweaters and skirts. A new fabric for those tailored dresses is striped angora jersey. The stripe is often used diagonally and in sharp contrasting shades such as bright blue and scarlet oi grey ground.

It is shown in French blue with the narrow tie at the waistline and the edging along the bodice and neck coming in dull red. The ideal outfit for campus wear is this three-piece tweed suit. The full-length military coat may be worn separately with casual dresses as the vari-colored tweed will blend with any costume. The gored skirt and fitted jacket are worn either over a tailored or ruffled blouse or with a gay ascot. This satin evening gown comes in a soft shade of Degas pink, and is fitted at the bodice with shirring and a concealed zipper placket. The waistline is high and flares out into a full skirt. The narrow straps of Egyptian brown velvet are fashioned into dainty bows at the shoulders. 4 __ - ., _____ 1 i portant fashion idea that has been growing for the past few seasons. The coat may be matching in de- sign and color but in a heavier ma- terial than the dress, or the dress may match one of the colors in the coat. Corduroy will be a prominent novelty fabric for suits as well as dresses. It is shown mostly in greens, rust and stone blue. Suits are in great variety. Close to every college girl's heart is the separate go-with-all jacket of bright plaid ortweed to be worn over tail- ored dresses or with skirts to make suits. An interlined one will carry you over into fur-coat weather. Three piece suits are practical-topcoat, jacket and skirt. The jacket is often patterned this fall in colors blending or contrasting to the other two pieces. The topcoats feature swing. These topcoats are versatile, since they can be worn over everything else, too. A new idea is a woven skirt and jacket in solid color with only the front of the cardigan in mixture tweed. An (Continued on Page 21) Several Ultra-Smart Silks And Formals Needed For Rushing, W eek-End Dates I WW EWA I L RIDER'S 302 South State St. (Near Liberty St.) MONEY-SAVING SPECIALS ON BRAND NEW PORTABLES Pens - Typewriters - Supplies By ALICE RYDELL An important part of every college girl's career is rushing and dates. Sweaters and skirts will do for the "P-Bell" (you'll soon know where that is), but for rushing teas and dressy dates, a few ultra-smart silks and formals are requisites. .Black is always a favorite for dress silks, but if your wardrobe is built on browns, better stick to brown or green or maybe one of the new vintage shades, which are also good with black accessories. Newest lines in fall clothes tend toward back fullness, best expressed in the bustling bustle. Subtle re- movable loops and bows, inverted pleats or bunched gathers or even a ruffle of lace on a rounded bustle line are some of the inventions con- cocted to give the bustle effect., Smocking, that delight of the pantie- to-match age, has grown up this sea- son and is being used on big college sister's dress-up clothes. But it's used sparingly-just enough to give design interest. Princess lines will be outstanding, particularly in velveteen, for tea- dances and rushing parties. Another good velveteen model is a flared and gored skirt of black or dark velveteen with a pert bustle-back jacket of checked wool. Velveteen in rich col- ors or black also makes a smart suiv, the skirt of which can serve double duty with sweaters and go out in the evening with a glittering blouse. Shepherd checks are also being wov- en in velveteen this season. One checked dress lends novelty to the coed wardrobe. For brown devotees, a bias-draped frock or rayon jersey with fullness at one shoulder is an outstanding choice. Rayon or silk jersey is stead- ily, becoming a favorite to rival silk crepe for this type of dress, but it demands a more perfect figure to wear it well. Taffeta and faille sometimes com- bined with velvet or velveteen are two other key materials with the added attraction of swishy rustle. If you prefer wool to silk, you can easily find date dresses just as smart in lightweight woolens such as rabbit hair, wool crepe or faille, or in silk and wool mixtures. A shadow of silk and wool with a peplum and skirt full in the back below a diminutive waist is an unusual model. Eyelet woolen is a new fabric destined for a smart career. Those are the rushing date dresses. Don't be alarmed if you can't find a twin to one of them, but just get an idea of the general trend. There are few occasions to wear hats in Ann Arbor, but in addition to the hardy roller, you'll need one dressy hat. Let it be small, first of all. Black is the most practical choice unless you find one to match your pet silk dress exactly. The pill-. box is a favorite style and especially becoming to the college girl. Velvet, silk, and soft felt, with kidskin as a new airival, are favorite materials. Black velvet disks, very small and to be worn tilted far forward, are grand innovations and most flattering. For your formal wardrobe, you won't need more than two to start with. It's a good idea to have one with a jacket, too. Of course if you turn out to be a social butterfly, two won't nearly reach. But then you can always wait for the special occa- sion to invest in a new one; or there's always your roommate, if she's the same size. If your furt coat is versatile, you (Continued on Page 21) -- ---- Try A DAILY Classifiecd £ o.
