SLEEV ELESS JACKETS Sleeveless jackets are now in style: they may be worn very well with dresses or slacks. The colors may either match or con trast each other. The designers of Ukraine add a folk art touch to this piece of garm ent and, therefore, refer to it as “kypta- ryk.” The fir st model shows a green “kyptaryk” worn with a pair of brown slacks. The cut is s tr a ig h t ; the ornamentation con sists o f zig-zags in brown leath er. The next “kyptaryk” shown is shorter. The deep cut in the front enables the blouse or dress to show. The “kyptaryk” is or namented around the edge with a zig-zag made from dark woolen cloth. The “k yptaryks” serve as an attractive wear and are easier to make than sweaters.
