Inject new style with
‘investment dressing’

EVEN WHEN times are tough,
there are some women who still
insist on looking their very best.

They may think nothing of
spending as much money as it
takes to look stylish. But really
fashionable women don’t spend
their money recklessly. Their sense
of stvle leads them to clothing
that always makes a statement, yet
never goes out of style.

The concept to keep in mind for
the ‘90s is investment dressing.
This means spending the money
for quality clothing.

Maybe you don’t have a fortune
to spend on a new wardrobe. You
can still inject new style and qual-
ity into your wardrobe by adding
that one perfect piece that will
make you look modern = and
timelessly stylish at the same time.
Just one piece of clothing will
transform your wardrobe and
your outlook.

Rather than spending your fash-
ion dollars on lots of trendy
clothing that will go out of style
after one season — or fall apart
after one dry-cleaning — look for
one piece that will make
everything else you own look
smashing and new.

It could be a quilted Aztec-print
bomber jacket with faux fur col-
lar, or the flippy little skirt with
pleats that end in points. Or how
about a work-right jacket in a new
shape — longer and leaner. with
couture pocket details?

Some of the details to look for
this fall include:

© Patent leather: [Vs not iust
for shoes and belts anymore, but
turns up in parkas, fitted jackets
and short skirts.

© Faux fur: On collars and
cuffs, it adds a luxe touch to
jackets. And it comes in any color
you can imagine.

© Stretch: The new generation
of stretch clothing is dressed up
and ready for a night on the
town. It’s stretch satin, puckered

stretch velvet, even stretch gabar-
dine.

© Trench coats: No longer the
boring old standby, today’s tren-
ches come in gleaming satin,
double-collared microfiber, and
faux fur.

* Quilting: It shows up as
couture-inspired diamond patterns
in velvet, microfiber, silk and
suede. It can be body-conscious in
stretch velvet, or sporty in parkas
and blouson jackets, even leather.
Quilted prints show up on satin
blazers and velvet jeans, or
covered with sequins!

© Zippers: Why hide them? Out
in the open, they add zip to
shaped jackets, dresses, bustiers.
Slightly asymmetrical or straight
up-and-down, they show up on
everything from sporty blousons
to proper tweeds.

© Chenille: No longer just for
bedspreads, it adds new texture to
woven plaids and checks. It gives
a new dimension to knits, and is
just the right weight for tunics
and pullovers.

For work, details count. Shape-
ly suits are made for a woman’s
body. New colors on collars make
you stand out from the crowd.
Beautiful buttons and contrasting
colors on collars and pocket flaps
add allure to jackets and coat-
dresses,

For weekends, look for colorful
patterned sweaters that are long
enough to be worn over con-
trasting tights and ribbed turtle-
necks to wear over leggings, with
a wide belt to pull it all together.

For evenings, think all-out ex-
citement. How abour the artful
impact of a shapely color-blocked
dress in black or scarlet?

The best fall clothes are
wearable art. They are made for
the charismatic woman who
emulates no one but herself. She
is the star of her own life and
dresses for the part.
