they're wearing.
AND what they're wearing here in
lills sunshine--in clothes and in
sun-tans-will be worn all over
america next summer, wherever and
whenever there Is sunshine.
Plenty Of White
SO get our your notebook-put
lhese fashion predictions down in
land just see if next summer YOU
aren't wearing:
I. Lots of 1Uhite IN dresses.
codts, hats and shoes.
The checkup made by members
OF our fashion staff show more
than 60 per cent Of the women here
are wearing white.
White always is fashion-important
down here-more so than any
other place, because the sun is so
merclless on colors. But there's
more white now than we've seen
mere for years. But-the white part
OF summers color story isn't as
newsy as what they wear with it.
SO put down in your notebooks
2. It's Uhjte NTH color for
accent.
A white dress with a bright blue
cr red belt. Or a bright band on
her white hat. Or bright jacket
with white dress.
Lots and lots Of jackets are worn
all day long A white dress made
into different costume with diff
ferent jackets-each in a different
color.
Two Colors Accented
These accent colors are OF two
kinds: Cd Deep bright shades, like
navy blues and browns and bright
green's, with navy the most impor-
tant, and 90 pastel accents, like
turquoise blue, deep pink and yell
low
3. Neat to 1Ohjte, pastel
dresses are most important.
Especially blues-and beiges-and
pinks-and green's. A little brighter
than last year.
4. Summer clothes lady,
like.
That's been coming on for some
time To get over the idea, fashion
wears more shoulder covering than
last summer. There still are lots of
no-Sleeve dresses worn. But there
are many more cap sleeves-short
things that just cover the shoulders.
Dresses Are Longer
These dresses down here are just
a bit longer, too. Not much, but
little-for daytime. we mean.
And Mrs. and Miss Fashion are
wearing many more flowers than
IN other years another sign OF
their wanting to be ladylike.
5. For afternoon they tOear
pretty, frilly things.
Many prints. And to the ankles.
Lots OF these dresses have short
little capes. With the cape on, the
dress plays bridge. Of, it stays to
dinner and become an informal
evening dress.
6. Summer evening clothes
are Iong-juSt missing the
floor.
Sort of Grecian in their silhou-
cite. And easy to look at. Here,
too, there's lots of white. And
iewelry in good colors is used for
pleasant contrast. Lots of lace
mostly In pastels. And lots Of
Jackets to match the dress material.
Fashion Is Feminine
Yes, in her evening clothes,
fashion is surely ladylike and fem
inine-nore SO, of course, than at
any othnr time of day.
Her evening slippers rather
plain--are dyed to match her dress,
accessories or wrap (Which is likely
to be short). And Grecian sandals
are worn with many Of these Gre
cian-like gowns.
7. Summer daytime hats
are medium brjntmed or are
small turbunS.
The medium brimmed hats are
Panamas, with narrow groSgrain
bands in black or colors. The tur-
bans are two kinds. Crocheted, cap
like affairs for one kind-most al
ways in white, but in colors, too,
to go with certain costumes.
And for another kind, the roll tur-
ban designed by Nine. Agnes. And
it is quite the thing to have this
hat, with its frame-like rolled edge,
IN as many colors as you have
dresses.
Huge Straw Hats Worn
Manv hats are worn on the beach
- huge straws. For afternoon
they're large and droopy-shading,
lovely things-sometimes wearing
flowers.
8. More aChite shoes than
tor 1RGNy seasons.
Rather simple and not quite as
high in the heel.
Lots trimmed with black or brown.
But plenty of acknowledgements it
goes best with a costume Of two or
three colors.
And now-let's go bathing-on
paper. Let's see what they're wear
ing as they lie out here on the beach
and collect an expensive, though eX-
pressive, coat of tan.
But first as. we report this to you,
