By Ruth Hagedorn Military and Carneby these are the two big looks for fall fashion '66, and they're affecting every divi sion Of clothing from sports wear to evening dress. The military influence is shown through brass buttons, epaulets, high cadet collars, bacfc-buttoned belts, and the aouble-breastea style. The Carneby, or English, look (the name having come from ;a famous fashion street in London) can be seen in the tailored styles, brimmed squashy caps, and manly shirts and ties. Double breasted jackets and coats are also a big part of this look. Something For Everyone Eut there is something for everyone in women's fall fash ions because designs are not limited to these two looks. They- are more diversified than ever before, according to Lincoln store buyers, as are both color and fabric. The only thing which can be said of all styles, as one buyer explained, is that "the waistline is not natural in anything." The pants suit is the big gest news in the sportswear line, though it isn't confined to this grouping. Its long tailored jacket and slim pants can be found in nearly any kind of material corduroy, wool, tweed, bopsacking, cot ton, brocade or velvet and can be worn for any occas sion. Practical Pants Suits Many pants suits come with zn A-shaped skirt for those women more practical and less daring. The suit is being sold in both double-and single breasted styles and in both the military and Carneby looks. The perennially popular bermuda shorts and knee 60cks will again be seen, though pants will have the right of way this fall. Stove pipe slacks and hip rider pants with a Garrison (wide) belt will replace last season's bell-bottoms. The prDy will be back, along with the turtleneck sweater. But store buyers say they will have much more in terest to them, as all of this year's sweaters "must have something on them" whether it be cabling, ribbing, cross stitching, stripes or zig-zags.

Hi. - . an assortment of colors in gan sweaters with stripes on the sleeves. Ties (paisley, striped or polka dot) and berets or caps are favored accessories to the sportswear line-up. Lincoln department store buyers say that this year's dresses are more exciting than they have been for a long time because of the many new silhouettes coming into style. Tent Look The tent dress is part of an entirely new look which is also found in coats and cock tail dresses. These tents are being pitched by designers in two ways. Some are narrow at the shoulders and huge at the hemline. Others are turned upside down, beginning slim at the knees and ending full and gathered at the shoulders and sleeves. The tent dress comes in soft flowing fabrics such as chif fons. Tne pup tent dress, which is not as full or ex treme as its counterpart, is more casual and comes in heavier fabric. The T-shirt dress is exactly what the name implies, an elongated version in shift form of the standard T-shirt. Usually found in knit, the dress comes in both round and V-necks, often with color ful stripes. It is also designed with sparkles which necessi We will carry the latest in men's fashions!

Don't confuse these with their strictly mod, hip hang ing counterparts. Many fashion-minded dressers w i 1 1 be sporting these sweater slacks at gametime, worn under tate its being worn for after five dress. Body Dress The body dress will be very important this fall and wintej, according to store personnel. Though giving the appearance of beine fitted, this dress only really touches the body at the bustlme and from there SKims out. It is most commonly found in a light weight fabric. The dress with the long torso and flippy skirt will be another imDortant silhouette. especially for juniors. This dress is sum until a poini about nine inches below the waist where it flares out in pleats or gores. Comfort Capitalization Capitalizing on comfort, the smock dress with its yoke, sathered bustline. and fit through the hips, will con tinue in popularity, as will the demi-fit dress with its little girl look. Knit is the bieeest news in dress material. The new ver sion of this fabric has the tpxture and look of wool but with all the advantages of knit, being versatile ana near ly wrinkle proof. Colors range from hering b o n e to check. The knit dress can be worn for nearly any occassion since its degree of formality is largely dependent upon its ac cessories. 432-3432 wool or corduroy outerwear. One of the season's sharp est combinations will team patterned pants with the new double breasted blazer. Manufacturers are tending to move away from the safe, solid but dull colors. Still, the coffee browns and heather tones will be popular. One Lincoln salesman predicts that, "Everything is going to have brown in it this fall." Similar predictions have been made for the past 10 years. Wide-wale permanent press corduroy is on its way out, according to a trade pub lication. The mills are with drawing wide and pin wale permanent press in favor of the better performing mid wales. Be on the lookout for permanent press corduroy sweater slacks. All permanent press slacks will be popular for casual wear. Their wash and wear convenience makes them a solid choice for the college man on the run. The men's wear buyer for a local department store said. "I can't see any reason for college students to buy dress slacks when the permanent press slacks are available in. hopsacking." SHIRTS Plaids and paisleys will set The print suit with its touch of English is predicted to be the most popular fall suit. The cutaway jacket and hip hug ger skirt come in corduroy and cotton.

Shirtmakers also report that stores want more stripes, polka dots, near flor als and textured plaids for early back-to-school action. Wool shirts will appear in plaids, houndstooths and her ringbones. Permanent press shirts will account for more than half of the total shirt sales. Fall bookings for dress shirts and sweaters show that the orange color range is moving up very quickly. Ex pect to find variations of or ange, (pumpkin, melon, etc.) come through as ground col ors and stripes. Blue is still far ahead in the color race, with yellow or maize in second place. Third is shared by linen and light green. White shirts are declining in importance as op posed to colors and fancies. Pink will gain fashion favor as a dress shirt when worn with burgundy sweaters and sports jackets. Paisley ties can be taste fully teamed with tattersall and checked dress shirts for another popular mod-influenced combination. Fashion conscious men will give way to a wider variety of collar styling. With the bolder spread collar, look for the revival of french cuffs. SWEATERS Turtle necks, mock turtles and crews should cut heavi ly into the ever-popular v neck business, but the V-neck, a little heavier this year in a Shetland wool, will still be the favorite in Huskerland. Cardigans will still be around, but decreasing slight ly in importance. Flat weaves will be good. The color outlook is lively, with orange heathers, (with rust or earth tones), canary, raspberry and pink heather looking like early college choices.

Paisley will be the big word in ties and pocket squares, but watch for tasteful, mod-influenced polka dots to catch on quickly as a college fash ion symbol. Vibrant regimental stripes, spaced geometries and club figures will continue as cam pus favorites. Some Lincoln stores prefer to stock the three inch widths in ties, but most favor the two and three quarter inch of two and five eights inch widths which are equally ac ceptable. Pencil thin ties are strictly for the high school crowd. The huge four inch ver sions of the 20's are coming back as high fashion on the east coast. Don't expect to see too many on campus though. SPORTS COATS AND SUITS An elegant offshoot of the mod craze, the double breast ed four button blazers have just begun to score. They should be the biggest news on campus when classes start. Look for these in hopsacking and herringbone weaves. On a somewhat shocking note, a downtown men's wear buyer mentioned that the true traditional blazer is about done. Accordingly, he says that it will be phased out by the new lighter fabrics. Heather tones, whiskeys, blues, browns and greens will still be the most popular fall colors. College students will be grabbing plaids, herring bones and hopsacks off the racks of their favorite men's stores as the back-to-school sales begin. Next spring, watch for the arrival of the paisley and pol ka dot sports jacket to re place the bright madras col ors. Suits will be all wool. Hop sacking and tweedy fabrics will be good. Watch pin stripes and chalk stripes for a fall return. The mod influence will be brought out by a two button, English cut suit with deep side vents and wider lapels, and a two or three button, deep side vent model with a ticket pocket on the right side and a suppressed waistline. For that rainy day apparel, the poplin all weather coats GOLD'S will still be campus favorites. To add texture and color, be on the lookout for the new hopsack rainwear fabrics.
