or double-breasted butions. Mili-
tary-inspired coats are designed
with regimental straight lines, and
get epaulets, high collars and
brass buttons.

Other top contenders in this
group are the thigh-length melion
coat with frog closures and the
slightly looser navy-inspired
peacoat.

Sophisticated oilcioth and nylon
parkas are now worn as dressy
outerwear, especially when they
are cut straight and lined with
wool.

Colors don’t shock this fall.
Autumn shades of olive and forest
green, taupe, heather, oxblood
and aubergine, caramel, vibrant
red, slate and pewter grey and
muted browns are best.

Black and white houndstooth is
a favorite pattern that is shown on
all types of coat styles. As well,
there are enough tartan plaids out
there to clothe every Scottish clan.

Leopard spots and other novelty
patterns in faux fur provide the
humor in an otherwise serious
season. The patterned fur is used
as an accent or covers the entire
coat,

The only details that count in
coats: hoods, capelets, large not-
ched collars or shawl collars that
extend over the shoulders, belts on
some styles, fur trims and cuffs.

You'll find a few coats with the
right stuff at Nina’s Boutique, 113
East 15th St., North Vancouver.

cover the knee are a good choice
in a cashmere and wool blend by
Peter Nygard.

Although fashion is important,
function should also be a priority.
If a coat doesn’t work full-time to
retain your body heat, it is not
worth its price. Examine the style
and the fabric for chill-chasing
details before you buy.

A large hood, an extra burton
at the’ collar, tabbed cuffs which
can be cinched tighter, and deep
pockets are all good additions

which can be put into use on a
cold day.

No matter how much money
you spend, you should make a
choice that will last you for the
next five years. This means buying
the best quality that you can af-
ford in a style which is not too
trendy or one of which you will
grow tired. :

Shop for a coat that won’t be at
the dry cleaners more than it is on
your back. Opt for a darker color
in a fabric that can have minor
spots carefully wiped clean.
