Street chic - starts with grunge look

From page 18

construction-worker overalls and heavily stitched shirts, jumpsuits topped with tied shirts, bell bot- toms and loud striped suit jackets highlight the look.

® Fabrics range from menswear- influenced heavy tweeds to soft and pretty chiffon and cyelet cot- ton.

Stripes and polka dots, hounds- tooth and Glen checks, country gingham and African prints are mixed and matched in coor- dinating colors.

Fabrics get crisp and structured in cotton pique, broadcloth, denim and linen, but they also get clingy and body-hugging in Lycra stretch fabrics and jersey knit.
