Jackets GUe Air to Costume

1 Nj
Y tainly a season for individual
ity Of costlimel And the fashion
for separate jackets is one practical
way Of showing it. One jacket and
two or three skirts one to
match and two TO contrast is
fine. And with couple Of jackets
you can accomplish wonders.
For the way the fashionabIes are
wearing jackets, all sorts Of combi-
nations are smart.
A jacket may match a skirt in
both color and materials. Or 1t may
match in color and contrast in ma
terial.
Again it may contrast in color
and match in material. Or con-
trast in both color and fabric.
Get Extra Jacket
If you've already bought a suit
in plain color-let's say gray, for
example-get an extra jacket in a
gray-and-black or gray-and-blue
check to wear with your gray suit
skirt.
And-you still have the plain gray
jacket Of the suit to combine with a
checked skirt or a plain navy or
black one.
Or even with a brown one. For
one Of the newest and smartest
combinations of color we've seen
this season is brown-and-gray.
There are several styles of jackets
that make swank combinations. One
Of the most practical and most uni
versally becoming is the double
breasted, so-called nautical" jacket.
Has New Details
Not new" you say. True. But
this years nautical has new details
that definitely mark it 1882.
Its lapels are wider and placed
higher. Watch the illustration as
you note theSe.) 1t is more fitted
to the figure, nipping in at the
waistline more closely,
This year it has no belt-the
better to show off it's fitted lines.
And it's apt to have more buttons
not just four, but six or eight.
And it must have pockets. Two
are smart three smarter F.. E.
four smartest.
Flannel Best Material
Flannel Is a favorite material for
the nautical. That's because flan-
mel is so practical. 1t goes with
either wool or silk skirts and can
be made to look sporty, tailored or
dressier merely by changing the &C
cesSories you wear with it.
Sometimes, though, you'll find
this jacket in an openwork diagonal
knit or meshy knit, Then it's truly
sports jacket.
Another jacket, newer than the
nautical, but no more fashionable
and it's one you're seeing on many
suit already--buttons high at the
left side with a single button. 1t
can be worn open, too, and then the
side that buttons over falls back to
make a rever.
BeIlhOp Jackets Snappy
If you're very young, you'll find
that the closely fitted jackets that
ends right at the waistline makes
you look very jaunty. Bellhop, it's
called, and is usually many-but-
toned.
Besides the fiannels and knit ma
terials, tweed has stepped in to an
important place in jackets.
And by tweed, we mean real tweed
tweed that looks like tweed and
not like some other material Gas
tweeds have been doing lately).
Obviously jacket of this material
has very sporty, outdoors look.
Watch for it>in double breasted style
but sleeveleSs-to be worn over a
long-sleeved, bright colored dress for
golf or other sports.
Bright Red Is Good
Bright red, bright navy, russell
brown are all fine colors. They can
be combined with many other
colorS in skirts and dresses.
And if you have more than one
separate jacket, be sure at least
one is checked .. striped.
Right now you'll want separate
jackets to wear with those skirt
and blouse costumes that are ap-
pearing everywhere.
And later on these jackets will
go with your sports dresses .
especially the bright colored jacket
with the white dress.
