If you haven’t here’s one all fashion minded women should make: Always keep abreast with the fashion times. Even if we can’t get a “new outfit” everytime we’d like to, it would be nice if we knew the fashion picture well enough to really know what is being worn and where. One of the first things we will probably buy is a new spring hat. I don’t know why it is, but we women just love to wear those precious spring bonnets with a fur coat. They do look pretty, don’t they? When the days are dismal and cold, a colorful spring hat always seems to brighten our spirits. Here’s what you’ll be seeing first on the millinery market. The first color threesome will be burnished gold, deep chocolate brown and black in a variety of combinations. These regal colors will be seen in satins, straws and silk jersey, the two fabrics and straw sometimes being used in one hat. Pale and deep gold and deep brown in dull satin as draped trimming on pale blond straws with a small touch of black jersey as accent; black satin drapes and trimmings on light gold straws deeps chocolate brown (almost black) in all satin hats trimmed with black and burnished gold are some of the combinations significant in these early spring hats. There will be prettier more feminine hats. One milliner believes that a pretty trimming will make a more feminine hat. Ostrich plumes, ribbons and lots of veiling will make the smaller hats outstanding. Color also registers effectively in many of the straws and soft fabric silhouettes. Along with those aforementioned, there will be orange with soft pink casts; pale grayed blue and green a great deal of bright orange red and many two-toned otnbred, striped, checked combinations. There is a Coronation twist to most of the spring hats in London, and I’m sure we will get a “taste” of them here too. Styles are based on Elizabethan themes, ducal strawberry leaves in straw or velvet. The basic silhouette is small, flat and worn straight on the head, a shape that fits with coronet themes. There are some forward shapes with big brims in flattering heart shaped curves, and a few deep cloches. White satin and pastel are also big. I need not ask if you like what will be seen in the millinery mir ror. That’s one picture we always admire—especially if its feminine!

MIAMI TIMES, MIAMI, FLORIDA SATURDAY, JANUARY 10. 1983 9 by Fredctye S.Henderson*®^^^ 7 j GO VEST, YOUNG MAN gialSiy* ' Invest in a vest is the best possible ad vice that one can give to smart young men . .« v who like to bo “in the know” fashienwise. 9 Speaking of being in the know, I might say that I discovered the popularity of the vest quite by accident. A young co-ed called me frantically some few days before Christmas. Seems she had started making her boy friend a present for the season, and had become apprehensive lest her sewing have that “home made so she oalled me to come to the rescue. I asked her what she was making and learned that she was mak ing a vest. I was a bit taken abac k. for I had remembered the vest as the third piece in a man’s suit— matching, of course. When she told me the thing was white velvet, well, I decided that I had better do a little research. * Being a woman, it is only natural that the interest would con centrate on women’s fashions for the most part, but I didl not how dated my data on men’s clothes really is. When I did a bit of shopping around, I found that not only are there vests on the market but the colors are so bright and gay they would make Joseph s coat look like a mourning robe. And what is more the, the boys are wearing the things. Even more surprising—they look quite nice when seen just a tiny bit of color peeking from underneath a coat front. There were some bright little Scotch plaid numbers, as will as the bold solid colors. There was even a bright red silk antique satin one. I suppose that man is finally beginning to rebel against the fact that he is the only male in the animal kingdom that is less fancily dressed than the female. Fortunately, he has the good sense to take the fancy dressl and bold colors in small doses and one item at the time. First there were the gay sport shirts, and just about the time we got used to the Wes of having competition for the color of blouses—the color promptly took a nose dive and came out in the form of bright Argyle seeks, or some reasonable or unreasonable facsimile thereof. Now it is the vest that is the focal point. So if you are young and have a flair for the dramatic, our advice is “Go vest, young man.” - - • 700 Alphas Attend Cleveland Confab .
