London.
THE college girl look has graduated. Today I sco more school-girl flannel suits with swinging pleated skirts, more back-tilted straw hats, and more stripod school scarves around in the smart restaurants than I ever counted at college.
It comes as rather a shock, though, to find that the slight school- girl figure in its middy suit belongs to a woman of forty, and some of London's fashionable women who should know better have rather over- done the college girl craze.
There is something youthful and gay about a tip-tilted schoolgirl straw if it is worn with a plain grown-up suit, but team it with a middy suit and the outfit is strictly for seventeen-year-olds. There is nothing worse than an ageing schoolgirl or, as my grandmother would put it, mutton dressed as lamb.
For day a bloused tweed dress in tobacco and black with a leather shoe-lace tie belt. Also from Fred- rica.

Basically the sweater sult is a classic golfer cardigan, in a firmer knit, teamed with a straight knitted skirt to match, but from fashion point of view it is far more than that. it is frusely smart and simple, and goes topcons. It can take any happily under a amount of dressing up with the right jewellery, if you want to wear it in the evenings.

A back-to-school look noted at the Fre- derica dress collection was a puilover-shaped top in fine brown wool, teamed with a box- pleated skirt in broION wool stripes, plus a matching scarf to tuck in the neckline.
Also noted at a new show of mitwear by Donbros: thick warm skirts and slacks in multicolour-striped wool, matched by a whole wardrobe of sweaters picking up each of the colours, a new version of mix and match.
