A most radical turn fashion has taken this season is to introduce a strikingly different silhouette in the way of long straight and slim torso lines. To add emphasis to the innovation inno-vation many of the newest tailored cloth jacket suits take on the narrow nar-row pencil straight skirts the like of which we have not seen for many a season past. , However, the leading formula for the chic suits of print silk which lead in the summer style parade is the long slender jacket with pleated skirt that shows from below the exaggerated ex-aggerated low hipline of the jacket. Very often these skirts are pleated to a hip yoke which stamps them as being decidedly ultra. The daytime dress that has a long torso top after the manner of the model centered in the illustration is regarded as eminently high-style fashion. In this instance gray silk crepe in two tones is the selected material. Here we see a revival of the 1914 co-ed silhouette in a California Cali-fornia fashion shown in the Howard Greer collection. The long-torso top has leaves of the fabric appliqued diagonally across the bodice. The box-pleated skirt is referred to as the new "action skirt" that gives you freedom of movement. The sleeves are notably simple and chic. There is simply no escaping pock-els pock-els this season. A glance at the fashion-right dress to the left in the picture emphasizes the idea that pockets have a way of imparting lots of style to a daytime frock of attractive print silk. The patterning pattern-ing of this printed silk crepe features fea-tures a novel arrangement of wee dot motifs in stripe interpretation, for as every woman of style knows, the emphasis In prints is decidedly decided-ly on stripes this season. The full-length full-length button opening adds to the sophistication of this dress. This together to-gether with the clever pockets of military inspiration combine to achieve great chic. White pique i corded effect edges neckline and sleeves. As the season progresses it is proving that gray with white or light green or yellow printed design de-sign has gone to dizzy heights of popularity. Another important color col-or theme that persists throughout the very latest silk prints is that of brown with white. If you are buying a new print you will be making a wise fashion move if you choose browns as expressed in a brown and white print with which wear a wide brimmed straw hat in the very chic Balenciaga brown, a color that is most flattering. By the way, it is wonderfully good style to wear brown hat and accessories with your gray and white prints, too. Don't try to go through the season sans a bolero dress. The more you see of them the more you like them and the more you wear a bolero dress the more it endears itself in your affections. Maybe because the bolero type is so youthful, maybe because it is so ever-flattering and most assuredly it is greatly to be coveted and appreciated because of its practicality. Worn with a contrasting con-trasting blouse a bolero dress can be made to tune to every occasion. The bolero mode pictured to the right is of printed crepe that adopts one of the season's best color schemes, namely, gray dotted in white. The skirt is pleated in smart manner. The ribbon belt is in Cordovan Cor-dovan brown and her Flemish off-the-face hat is in gray and white. Milliners proudly refer to gray and white as "so new" for hats.
