Show Man-Tailored Vies With Fur-Trim By CHERIE NICHOLAS v xp r x xVv - - x" r? i xv j; s A jf f v C I l T j$7ri COMES stepping along in the spring style shows the strictly tailored suit, daringly mannish down to the minutest detail, so much so as to provoke a question mark shrug of the shoulders on the part of the more conservative. Some of the new suits have gone so far as to be actually trousered, worn with man-tailored man-tailored shirts, sporty ties, stiff cuffs and swaggering fedora hats. Bide a wee, ye who are skeptical, and give eye to another number of fashion's program, for equally prominent prom-inent on the horizon there rises a gracefully silhouetted figure clad In softly furred delicate gray or beige, made even more appealingly feminine femi-nine with the accompaniment of a sheer little befrilled blouse or the flaunting of one of those amusing huge butterfly bows of crisp organdie or-gandie which are the rage just now. What with the elusive pastel tone of these costumes so perfectly blended with hazy, misty fox fur the ensemble melts into the springtime spring-time scene as does the faintly tinged leafy verdure during the lovely May-time May-time days. Which to choose, the severely and daringly man-tailored or the be-guilingly be-guilingly feminine, for the new spring outfit, aye, that's the question! ques-tion! Toss a penny if you will, for either way leads triumphantly on to the very height of fashion. If your flippant penny happens to head toward the strictly tailored you will be tremendously interested in the ultra chic suit which the lady seated In the pictured group Is I wearing. Here Is the masculine fashion at its best. It Is an afternoon after-noon suit that copies the male tuxedo tux-edo even to a satin lapels and a satin strip down either side of the skirt. The blouse which Is styled like a man's vest and the ascot tie are in white satin. For high-class swank this model stands at the very head of the list. The smart set are quite wild about It this Idea of tha tuxedo suit. For less formal wear the double-breasted double-breasted suit sketched in the circle below is an excellent and thoroughly thorough-ly practical style, either In black or navy. Note the very masculine hat which tops It. This model also looks good in tweed, and tweeds whether in cape costumes made up with the popular taffeta checks or In strictly man-made tailored fash-Ion fash-Ion are "all the go" for spring. If your fancy leads to the more feminine type, why not a fox trimmed gray or beige woolen topcoat, top-coat, such as shown to the left lit the picture? How flattering they are, the suits and coats In delicnto tones which are made ornate with matching fur. You are offered youf choice between caped types and those which "say it" with novel voluminous sleeves. In either event handsome borderings of luxuriant matching fur complete these elm ruling rul-ing ensembles. The placement of fur on the cape Is done with n view of keeping it away from the face in most instances so that the suit or coat may be happily worn away Into In-to the summer. The cape suggestion sugges-tion sketched In the top oval gives the idea. (. 1933, Western Nciwi'upor Union. |
