Accessories complete
the look for fall ‘87

THIS FALL, fashion designers are telling vou what
new colors are in and what hemlines to choose. But
what are the trends for fall accessories?

A leading manufacturer of gloves and knit ac-
cessories has these suggestions to help give wardrobes
a complete and updated look:

* Belts — with the waist in focus again, the varicty
of belts available is greater than ever! Look for mate-
rials such as textured leather, distressed leather, and
the new look of waxed, smooth leather.

Suede and velveteen will also show up everywhere.
Cummerbunds, wider cinch belts and classic trouser
belts are the shapes of the season.

*Gloves — The top accessory. The look for hand-
wear this season is a mix of refined, elegant and exot-

ic. Colors range from pales to darks with bright ac-
cents,

Embroidery, piping, snaps, bows and tassels are the
newest adornments. And don’t forget vour over-the-
elbow evening gloves!

¢ Handbags — The trend is toward softer, less con-
structed shapes, as you'll see with pouches, satchels,
duffle bags, drawstrings and shoulder bags with flaps.

Texture is still important, especially crocodile and
alligator, lizard, ostrich and suede.

e Jewelry — Fashion calls for smaller scale looks,
but don’t forget about statement pieces — one
necklace, one bold bracelet or one beautiful pin.

Necklaces will be worn closer to the neck. Dag col-
lars and chokers return with matching earrings, brace-
Iets and even rings.

NOTHING MAKES a more luxurious cool-weather fashion statement

than a luxurious mink coat. This American Ultra Sapphire mink coat
from Birger Christensen sports a long shawl collar and full sweep.

WITH THE hemilines rising higher
and higher this fall season, certain
fashion accessories are more im-
portant than ever before.

Black stockings in opaque and
sheer tones, a5 well as thicker cot-
ton tights are a must when wearing
the abov2-the-knee looks.

Worn with flat or slightly-heeled
black shoes, they create a look that
is classic and chic.

This look also provides an un-
broken, long line, creating the illu-
sion of added height, that enables
the wearer to appear thinner than
she is.

Paired with a longer, slightly fit-
ted blazer, you have a look that is
updated as well as professional.

A touch of gold jewelry, in the
form of hoop earrings or a link
necklace and bracelet, can add just
the right amount of panache to
this outfit.
