and vests — even the occa-
sional hooded “shrug” (a
mini sweater with sleeves)
can be found. No, they’re
not meant to be functional,
protect-you-from-rain type
hoods ... these are just
looks.

%-Eength sleeves are still
a popular length for girls, on
all kinds of shirts and but-
toned blouses — they’re
even better with a hood!

Vests are like, so in. And
not just with a fringe, and
not just for girls. The latest
styles come in fleece, ‘jn
padded nylon, and in metal-
lic fabrics for the ultra
trendy. As always, Gap has
the jump on the trend — you
may have seen the “Dress
you wp in my love” ads on
television.

Cargo pants, skirts, vests,
T-shirts and more. No doubt
about it, the pockets have
still gor it..The craze for
cargo for both boys and girls
is sure to carry on into 2000.

Cropped pants have
cee d to capri-mania ...
now. they're looser, wider,
and flattering for more body
es. Who knows when girls
will go back to ankle-Jength
pants?.

: -- Appliqued jeans (and
shirts, shorts, skirts and
pants for that matter) fit
“right.in’ with the bohemian
frenzy. Along with flared legs
and embroidery, | patches,

'.. and. decorative ‘strips of rib-.

. bon are what’s. happening
with denim. Groovy.

Wedge-heeled . shoes,
open toes, ‘or r closed, with

Wiz Zone’s ‘or

straps and without — it’s as
if the platform shoes from
ast seasons suddenly got
owered a little in front.
Slides are also a popular
choice for girls.

Sneakers are the stylin’
footwear choice for skate-
boarders and snowboarders
~— and for those who want to

look like them. And of

course, the trillion-dollar
athletic shoe never gocs out
of style. New Balance is back
with a vengeance, and Nike’s
new lines of runners are
streamlined and futuristic-
looking.

Messenger-style shoul-
der bags are where it’s at for
packing stuff. They come in
all shapes and sizes, but the
distinctive feature is a com-
furtable, sometimes-padded
strap across the chest and
over onc shoulder.

Tattoos and Mendhi are
still a hot ticket, with onc key
difference: now they’re tem-
porary. Tattoos go on with
water and come off the same
way, and Mendhi has evolved
into body wire jewelry —
instant application and

‘removal!

Glitter is still around,
and has gone from light
sparkles on brow and cheek-
bones, to heavy-duty bril-
liance on everything from
eyelids to fingernails.

Body and face jewelry.
are extra glam. Don’t be sur-
prised if your daughter sticks
on a gemstone to accent
eyes, cheeks or even at the
hollow of the neck.

Long, straight hair is

back for girls, and in natural-
looking colours! Many par-

ents will find this a relief

after seasons of pink-tipped
spice-girl locks. Braids, pig
tails, and double buns have
also gone mainstream for the
older set.

Jewelled hair barrettes
and butterfly clips mean
that hair gets special treat-
ment as well as skin. Both
long and short hair styles
work well with these fun and
funky accents.

Mohair will be apparent
in full, fuzzy force once the
weather turns really cold.
The coming — season’s
sweaters, headbands, mittens
and more are already on the
shelves in trendy shops.
