The Winter Silhouette

The Winter Silhouette.

The military touch which was apparent in our summer sports clothes is accentuated in the winter styles. Broad shoulders, slim hips and a waist are essential; to acquire the latter, choose your foundation garment with care. Then turn your attention to the shoulders. The new neckline is definitely high. If your frock has a wide yoke slipping down over the top of the arm, or epaulettes, or a sleeve that puffs in the right place, or better still a cape collar in self material, white or black, you have attained the shoulder width. How fresh and smart your last year's “best dress” would look with the addition of a cape! And don't forget that sleeves may puff anywhere. I saw a charming black gown with yoke and sleeves in striped material of red, grey and black. At the top of the sleeve pleats hid the colours, but lower down they flared out in delightful contrast. From just below the elbow, black moulded the arm.
