Show Snow Togs Gay With Color and Chic By CIIERIE NICHOLAS f7 N- n f yV:, yA Nil ' i t r . & i" (ii 'K 4 i HO, HO. ho! Who wouldn't go, up on the bill top far, far away? Come on up, the snow's fine. Let's go! Whether we be snow-faring fans or among those who elect to join the style parade under sunny skies "where summer sum-mer spends the wiuter," the "what-to-wear" problem is ever with us. So let's spend a few moments in confer ence with Dame Fashion and see what she has to say upon the subject. To begin with those who skate and ski and toboggan and frolic in the snow are expected to follow as meticulous metic-ulous a style program as does milady who promenades along sun warmed beaches or dances to the rythmic sway of waving palms under tropic starry skies. A most important lesson which fash ion teaches Is the value of color flam boyant, audacious color, if you please. A formula for color which the smart set is adopting enthusiastically for ' winter sports outfits is gray for the basic color with accessories in a riot of brilliant greens, blues, reds and or ange tones. Over a swanky gray cos tume consisting of trousers in dark-gray dark-gray with a tuck-in sweater in lighter tone, the neckband and wristbands knitted in vivid stripes, she who skates wears a patchwork suede jacket, in lumberjack fashion, which startles the eye with its vivid coloring, being formed of swatches of blue, green, red and yellow suede sewed together In crazy-quilt fashion, with enough gray suede worked in to relate it to the gray of the sweater and trousers with which it. is worn. It does not look its high color in the picture, but if the skirt-and jacket suit worn by the young woman playing ice-hockey ice-hockey in the picture could be seen in the original it would certainly qualify qual-ify as being plenty colorful. The trim ly buttoned and belted jacket is of bright red corduroy. It is lined with natural chamois. The skirt is of rich green suede leather. Its buttoned down-the-front fastening is the last word for sportswear. Included among timely suggestions for conservatively smart snow suits are types such as the model shown to the right in the picture. It is made of navy gabardine which Is so generally general-ly worn, it has become almost a tradition tra-dition in the sports realm. Variety is afforded hy the plaid lining which is woven in flaming colors. The commendable thing about modern mod-ern winter sports togs is that no mat ter how pictorial they may be they never sacrifice the practical. The sportswoman who knows her fashions never thinks of wearing a jacket or blouse which does not fasten with a metal slide or some such arrangement. ar-rangement. That is, if she be not in trigued with some other equally as dependable a gadget such as, for in stance, the new fastening created by Schiapareili which slips small wooden knobs through leather thongs A row of 'em is warranted to "doll up" any ski or skate suit to the snow queen's taste. Howsoever to do the trick with out ostentation yon will please to note the pullover blouse pictured above in the group, which fastens with a metal slide at the hack of the neck. The collar and gloves are striped in pale blue and brown. (cV 1932. Western Newspaper Union |
