THE ASCOT RIDDLE
Why do women
always buy
the WRONG
clothes?
by EILEEN ASCROFT WOMEN are busily spending hundreds of pounds buying the wrong clothes for
Ascot.
Every year it happens, as soon as the Big Eleven show their mid-seuson callections. Most of their clients ignore the smart, though simple silk sults, the small elegant hats, and choose Instead chiffon coats in which they will freeze, enomous hats that take off with the first Inevitable breeze, and picture dresses of lace and organdic, which look pathetic and ridiculous when the raindrops fall.
The same thing happens will shoes. Women are gaily buying wispy sandals with high heels forgetting
what it's like to walk
over miles of wei turf.
The really
well-dressed woman, who rarely gets her pleture in the papers, because photo- graphers dearly love the picture frocks and big floppy hats for Arcal, does not vary her costume much from year 10 year. It is usually a beautifully tailored suit, eithm of fine milk or vool, with alternative, hets and accessories for finc ur rainy days.
Black and white again
This year when' silk frocks with matching jackets are smarter than suits is even easier tü make a wise' choice.
It is a well-tailored silic dress and jacket tøljez a compartan top coat of fine wool or grosgrain.
Then if it is one of those rarities “a perfect Ascot day," the dress goes by itself with a big hat and fight accessories. If it's warm, but cloudy, the Jacket goes with the suit. And if it's bad or uncertain the top coat goes, tan, with a smaller hat and different accessories.
