FOR EVERY AGE
Active look still going strong

NO MATTER how old you are the active look
is the look of fashion for every woman.

By DIANE RAPSKE

Sweatpants and shirts are
no jionger just for football
players and high jumpers,
but for women of every age

seeking the more relaxed
look. With nicer colours,
and with stripes and pocket
outlines to highlight, women
are wearing warm-up track
suits for shopping, errands,
school - many other ac-

tivities other than jogging,
said Harry Madden a buyer
for Woodward's stores.

One of the main reasons is
the sheer comfort of the
fabric, said Madden. It’s
strong because of its cot-
ton/polyester blend, and
with its fleece lining it is very

warm, soft and comfortable.

Also along the same line,
rugby pants with elasticized
waists are very popular, said
Madden. Match them with a
bomber-style jacket and you
are ready for good looks and
comfort.

In light of the recessed
economy, buyers have to

find fashions that will
provide a strong appeal to
the woman who has to buy
carefully with her tight
budget. The styles have to be
very outstanding and
comfortable or else they just
won't sell, said Madden.

One suit style that is par-
ticularly unique is the
channel jacket with side
detail, over a skirt with four
large pleats in the front,
according to Guli Makalai of
Feminella in the Westlynn
Mall. Some may be thrown
off at first by the box-like
shape of the jacket. but with
a bright blouse to highlight,
the look is very chic.

To brighten up blouses
don't tuck them in, but let
them hang loose and belt
them. Wide and wonderful,
belts come in patent and
regular leather, in = any
colour just as long as it is the

brightest it can be. The
“Obi” belt, wide in front with
two thin straps wrapped
around and tied in the front
is a popular idea imported
from Japan.

Take your favourite scarf
and use it for a belt suggests
Karen Lidster of Suzy
Creamchese in the Park
Royal shopping centre.

The bright red, white and
blue combination is still a
favourite, but for a change
try some new colours --
acquamarine and yellow, or
jade and royal blue. There ts
a great deal of room to
experiment this year.

Shoes match the trend for
relaxed and easy styles.
Heels for pumps and sandals
are in the majority no higher
than 2 inches. They come in
every colour of the spectrum
to match any part of your
wardrobe.
