Some of th e eye catchers th is season are: jersey fabrics used to m ake ju s t about ev ery th in g — from h ats to coats. M any ropes of pearls on slender necks. Jack ets are longer, m ore fitted w ith all kinds of pockets, bold checks cut often on th e bias — som etim es strip es on th e bias also. Mix and m atch sk irts and jack ets — sk irts are dark, jack ets are b rig h t, easy coats. Colors are navy, grey, black and w hite — besides th e usual pastel spring hues, sm all sw ingy sk irts, jack ets m ore su b stan tial b u t al ways so ft — sw eater-like, soft silk blouses underneath. Shiny belts appear often on su its and coats, th e tunic costum e pops up occasionally. S k irts are pleated or g ath ered w ith th e knee alw ays in view.
