SUMMER STOCKINGS ARE GAY
BLACK AND WHITE FOR SUMMER
A style that is neat, a fabric the heat can't beat, is more reason than rhyme why linen suits con- tinue in popularity for summer. The only danger is that we are apt to look, like one
swarm of big uniforms unless we find ways of individualising the formula.
How to be the exception that proves the rule is the thoughtful. concern of Miss Vera de Give, American designer, who thinks of new twists of an old favourite. so' that when you see her black and white linen town costume, you say, "That's not only the type of suit. I've been looking for this summer, it is different from any, of the others I've seen."
Herein lies the difference:-The costume consists of a dress and a jacket rather than a jacket and skirt. You still look well dressed after you have removed the jacket. Both dress and jacket have short sleeves (cool thought). The dress is black linen with a series of white stripes (white boucle threads drawn through), down the front. A little half collar of white" linen (front only) and a bright red zipper across either shoulder are surprise details.
Black against white is the re- verse contrast of the jacket. Of white linen, it has revers of black linen striped in white. There are three link buttons fastening the jacket.
Another theory of Miss de Give's is that women to-day want some- thing besides shirtwaist dresses to.. wear at resorts. She believes that the modern lingerie dress (the modern is meant to squelch any mental pictures of grandmother's Hong Kong summers have given wardrobe or too fussy styling) is Hong Kong a style in stockings all the softer, more flattering style. its own, but here is a dictum from this year.
