ing pants this summer, too, but
they find that long skirts are sel-
ling equally well.

Here is what some retailers are
saying about pant choices on the
North Shore:
> Serena Fashions has a good
selection of pants with wide legs.

Wool crepe styles have multiple
pleats at front for a flattering fit
on larger figures. Light viscose
and silky rayon trousers with cuffs
are a good wardrobe basic, avail-
able in Jots of solid summer col-
ors,

Long culottes are a hot item in
the store, and are sold in floral
patterns and stripe and dot com-
binations.

» 8B.5.’s Fashions is showing all
of its suits with pants and offers
matching long slim skirts as an
option. The store sells as many
pants as it does skirts, which are
available in linen, light wool crepe
and cotton.

ticularly good pant is a tapered leg
style in pale blue and white stripes
with a drawstring pajama waist.
® Melrose Avenue sells more
skirts than pants. Skirts are al-
ready popular in both long-and-
narrow and long-and-gathered
styles.

It is felt that customers are not
used to wearing pantsuits as much
as they are unaccustomed to the
longer skirts.

.. The store does sell pantsuits by
Studio J: which offer two dif-
ferent pants to match with a long
fitted jacket and long striped vest.
A wide-legged trouser and a
tapered-leg pant with a cuff are
cut in beige tinen and viscose.

more pants than skirts. No
wider-leg pants were ordered this
season, however, because the
store’s customers have expressed
that slirn legs are flattering and
wider legs ‘‘look like tree trunks.”’
Stirrups are still selling well and
tapered-leg pants with slits at the
ankle are new.
& Zig Zag Boutique sells true
bell-bottams in denim for the
adventuresome.

It sold out of its wide-legged
pants early in the season, but
there are still overalls and rompers
in light rayon which are so gener-
ously cut they appear as skirts
when worn. They are shown in
polka dots and florals.
