Get the ‘must haves’ for fall

START YOUR fall fun with all
your clothing essentials.

Here are a few items that are
must-haves for fall "91.

e@ Jackets. The longer silhouettes
are preferred (some with
menswear styling), double
breasted or not. Wear them over
short skirts or slim pants for
loose/fitted effects.

Cropped and fitted jackets
haven't lost their appeal, especial-
ly if worn over straight skirts or
pants to create suit looks.

@ Pants, Still slim in the majori-
ty. Keep a few jodhpurs, ski/
jogging pants, and leggings in
your wardrobe to create a variety
of looks.

Denim wear styling in dress
pants continues to be important.

@ Skirts. Short (19-20°") and sexy
reigns, but also consider owning
the variety in vogue — straight to
the knee, mid-calf and ankle
lengths (whether slim or flowing),
sarongs, short and pleated styles,
A-lines with a high waist, or try
pairing a long wrap over a stretch
mini for an interesting optical ef-

@ Dresses. Just about any silhou-
ette can make a statement.
Whether short and sexy or
longer and flowing, we will see
fit-and-flares, chemises, trapeze
contours, A-lines, fitted torsos
with ample skirts and more.
@Tunics. Ultra chic and tong
with a V or funnel neck, worn
over straight pants or leggings.
© Bodysuits, catsuits, jumpsuiits.
Enduring well after a few seasons.
Use them as layers or for the
more contoured looks.

@ Sweaters. Oversized is the rule
with a few cropped exceptions.
Fall sweaters are shaped for vol-
ume and sport modern, sleek
lines.

@ Denim wear. Extensive collec-
tions in a variety of colors ex-
emplify the casual but elegant
country vogue. Look for tone-
on-tone embroidered ensembles.

® Outerwear. Can be defined as
sweater coats, dusters, and hood-
ed swing cloaks with lengths
predominantly on the short side.
