THE WORLD OF WOMEN
Combines Informality and Elegance
PRINCE OF WALES ORIGINATED THE FAD FOR STUDIED CASUALNESS IN DRESS; GOWNS ARE COLOURFUL, WRAPS VIVID, AT FAMED RIVIERA RESORT
By Rozette Hargrove.
Biarritz. Although Biarritz
mry assume a somewhat "neglige" appearancz, it still remains the
| rendezvous of elegance and fashion. The really smart people here affect in- the greatest casualness and formality in dress the greater part of the day, and those who do not merely look overdressed.
On the other hand, when wom?n do wear evening clothes, only the latest and smartest gowns can pass muster. This, after all, is quite logical. After spending most of the day in flannel trousers shorts, it is natural that a woman hould feel the desire of resuming n little.mystery and femininity at night.
.or
Formal or even informal after- noon dresscs are rarely worn n Biarritz, except by the older wo- men. The Prince of Wales is ap·· parently responsible for this note of casuaineta in dreza for he acl- dom appears in anything but long and very baggy plus-foura in either grey, flannel or white linen, a navy silk polo shirt, pale blue stockings and white or tan shoes. He even strolls into the Casino, at night to play haccarat thus informally dressed, so it in not surprising that men and women have followed suit.. And the management can do nuth- ing about it.
Few Format Functions Gala, nights at the Casino, first night and cabaret openings are the only occasiona on which people don evening drop in public-with- out counting the dinner parties which are given in the handsome villas owned by well known propi: hore. So even the beat-dressed wo men bring with them only the most practical sports clothes, soms very simple drozacs of the informal afternoon veristy and all the evon-i Ing gowns they possen.
