Almost everyone should be able to dress
to please themselves this spring and more
than likely they'll be in style.
According to a recent nation-wide Harris
Poll that's what about 84 per cent of the
population plans to do--drcss to please
themselves.
There is such a variety of colors, fabrics
and styles to choose from and an infinite
number of combinations to make with them.
Hemlines for women can be just about
anywhere with the short shorts or so-called
"hot-pants" being pushed the most. The
midi-look doesn't seem to be as prevalent in
the spring fashions but ankle-length and just
around-the-knee-length dresses do.
There is a return of the dress with the
ethnic and peasant look using a variety of
prints, polka dots and checks with an even
greater variety of trims including laces,
embroidery, ribbon, velvet, flowers, rick
rack and many others.
Some explain the comeback of the dress
as a return to femininity after the long
popularity of jeans and the pant suit but
there are still many different styles of pants
on the market.
In addition to the lingering on of the
pantsuit there are also many styles of jeans
on the market with flare, bellbottoms and
straight legs in all different colors and
patterns.
Some styles have been taken from the
workingman's wardrobe with the overalls
look in jeans with the attached bib and the
blue work shirt.
Denim is not only being utilized with
jeans but also with dresses, shirts, coats and
even men's suits. But most outstanding
about the trend in men's clothes this year is
their colorfulness.
The white suit for men is predicted to
come on strong in addition to off-white
backgrounds with striped or windowpaned
patterns.
Shirts for men are goin to be very
colorful, complementing the neutral colors
of the suit and the wide ties are still
expected to remain popular.
Coats for both men and women are
expected to have wider lapels and be longer
with most of them belted or sashed. The
variety in fabrics applies here also and you
can expect to see tailored coats of canvas,
tweed and light wools.
To accessorize coats and outfits will be
hats of silk, straw, felt, denim, velvet,
cotton, leather and plastic. In addition,
bright colored scraves can go with just about
everything.
The sandal will be very popular this
spring and summer as will the clogs with
wooden and cork soles. Most sandals will be
open-toed and open-heeled with some that
lace up to the calf and others lacing all the
way up to the knee.
For both men and women this spring
knits will be very important. Knit fabric is
being utilized in men's suits and shirts and it
has been for a long popular in women's
clothing. Other fabrics being used often are
gingham; voile; chiffon; clingy, slinky jersey;
taffeta and denims.
All in all, this springs fashions promise to
be very versatile, colorful, and fun and you
should be able to dress with a great deal of
variety.

Clothes say how you feel.
The clothes you wear are comfortable clothes. And
they're fun and they look good, too. You wear them to
please yourself. Your clothes say how you feel... about
spring... about that special person in your life.
You both shop at the stores where the clothes say a
great deal. The Hitchin' Post and Wooden Nickel. Frilly
blouses, hot pants, tall boots for the girl. Two-tone shirts,
bold belts, fun shoes for the guy. Good feeling clothes
that say you're feeling good.
