Make sure separates work together From page 18 cuff reaches below the hem of the jacket. A shorts and jacket combina- tion is good for off hours, too. Coordinated with thick tights and heavy-soled shoes, it makes a great semi-casual ensemble that will keep you warm but still looks . light enough to be late summer wear. Cotton sweaters are perfect for stretching the summer season on into fall because their breathabili- ty and light look makes them ap- ‘pear to be summer-weight, but when layered they provide insula- + tion. ‘Store - away . obvious summer ‘handbags, sandals, canvas shoes “ and belts that don’ t mix with fall styles... .

One of the best transitional pieces in every closet is a simple sheath or shift. These simply cut dresses are seasoniess, timeless, and perfect for everything from a corporate Junch to a night club. They may have originally been a staple undergarmenat for Victorian women but ever since the °20s they have become an irreplaceable wardrobe item that is sophisticated for any occasicn. Even though they are lined, sheaths are cool enough for warm weather because of their super clean lines, sleeveless and_ col- larless. styling. Whether they are linen, cotton cr fine wool, these easy one-pieces just slip over your head and you’re dressed so there is no fussing with layers on an unpredictable morning. Puil a blazer, maybe a longer fingertip-length matching jacket, overtop when the temperature drops.and wear them solo with very few accessories when the sun - makes it warmer. Fall sweaters will prove worth their weight this time of year. You can wear the sweaters in neutral colors or brights all year through. Wear them as you would a coat if they. are heavy knits, by layering shirts or another sweater beneath and adding gloves and a scarf. The retro-turned-modern sweater set.is a fashionable way to ease into fali since it tops the “trends for the. new season. It layers two sweaters — a cardigan -and a pullaver —- and the pullover beneath can be either long or short-sleeved depending on the weather. Choose a sweater set in cotton or a fine wool jersey blend and discard the top layer as the day gets warmer. . .Keep medium-weight suit “jackets at the front of your closet for all-season wear. Don’t pull foolproof windy weather iook. Choose any-weather leather. A basic black feather skirt that reaches to or just above the knee will take you from now until late next spring. Wear it with sheer summer blouses and silk tanks now and switch to warm pullovers and jackets later. Leather pants give an attitude of fashion confidence when they are worn like jeans with T-shirts and casual tops. This pairing is also perfect for early fall. . The black leather biker jacket has become a standard item for some fashion followers all year: ‘round. It is worn to nigkt clubs in summer as a status symbcl and - as practical outdoor wear during the winter. Tights are a great item to keep legs warm but still obtain a light and airy fall look under skirts, shorts and tunics. Remember that light colors and patterns, even in thick, heavy denier, will not weigh down your light separates. Choose cream, white, print with a pale color, lace or heavily textured hose rather than opaque tights when wearing cotton or other light separates.
