Summer Furs

Summer Furs.

Furs are no longer made exclusively for winter wear. Women know how flattering fur is and are demanding summer fur styles. The idea is a good one, especially for New Zealand, where the “between seasons,” with their coolish days and evenings are so long.

The lightweight furs—dyed squirrel, moleskin, antelope, grey lamb, ocelot—are chosen for special summer-planned models. The bolero style, the cape, the short coat, the swing three-quarter length, are all popular.

A delightful bolero, in nigger-brown American broadtail, has wide shoulders and short sleeves. An authentic summer touch is given by a large white piqué bow at the neck, and a hint of white cuffs below the sleeves.

In coats, look for squared shoulders, big sleeves, short sleeves, very large collars, no collars.

Ties and capes in blue and silver fox are smart for town wear, and also in the evenings. Red fox is right for all occasions.

An English hip-length jacket is of skunk mounted on black suede. The suede, stitched with gold, forms a border down the front.
