construction-worker overalls and
heavily stitched shirts, jumpsuits
topped with tied shirts, bell bot-
toms and loud striped suit jackets
highlight the look.

® Fabrics range from menswear-
influenced heavy tweeds to soft
and pretty chiffon and cyelet cot-
ton.

Stripes and polka dots, hounds-
tooth and Glen checks, country
gingham and African prints are
mixed and matched in coor-
dinating colors.

Fabrics get crisp and structured
in cotton pique, broadcloth,
denim and linen, but they also get
clingy and body-hugging in Lycra
stretch fabrics and jersey knit.
