THE thing about sports clothes is that they should be sports clothes. That is to say, they should look as if it were at least possible to use them for some sort of sport, even if it is only going for a walk in the rain.
The kind of tweeds that have been used 1 good deal lately looked as if they wouldn't even stand up to a drizzle without melting or having the colours run, or at the best getting very soggy and uncomfortable.
French dressmakers, who make clothes for the most closely guarded, though not yet air-conditioned, central heating, are rarely practical to this degree,. and It is really quite wonderful that we have even brought them to the point of admiring the sort of Jaunty, careless, well-cut clothes for sports that are said to be essentially English.
It is amazing to find that they have now gone one better in their upward and onward movement, and are using, along with that sense of detail which is essentially Parlaian, Scotch homespun tweeds, small, severe felt hats, plain knitted gloves, and not even epoiling the whole thing with high-heeled evening slippers.
The sports clothes as we are showing them. this week do actually look as if you could go out in them.
For instance, there is the suit on the left. The skirt and top-coat are made of rough, bracken- brown Harris tweed, the short cont underneath is of a gray and off-white broken check in the same material. The jacket is single-breasted, waisted, with a half-belt at the back, very high lapds and four flap pocketa: “
The top-coat is double-breasted with high lapels, ten buttons set straight and diose together, has an inverted pleat from the yoke giving fulness all down the back, two very largo patch pockets set on, the skew, and, most important of all, has noticeable shoulders, gathered in and built up.
":
With it is worn a very plain, well-cut Horaburg of bracken brown, knitted hunting gloves, cream- colour, and low-heeled, squaretoed brown leather shoes, with a panel of long-haired brown: scaskin (which is waterproof) let into the front,
The other suit la more summery, It is of a honvy, closely woven linen, and its special "news" point is its straight jacket (no jokes about this," please), and also its squared shoulders and high- waisted, short, straight skirt.
The colour is also bracken, but August bracken, a bright dark green, not rusty; autumn bracken like the other sult. The turn-back of the coat la check. in which rod predominaten.
and
The same material is used for the mannish te, faintly odg
odges the high, curve-topped pockets.
The shoes give a now version of the monk shoe. The front la cut all in one place from the square, toë to the "pinked" edge on the Instep. The bacic of the heol, which you can't see, comes intò'n' rounded', ploce, also "pinked," about an inch higher than tho ordinary shoe. Low heels, of course.
They're making oports blouses this year out of that nice printed heavy foulard which mon una for scarves, and tlos. They prit doga, hounds, foli, foxes' masks, and other sporting insignin on them.
The predominating colour for these neem to be rod, yellow, batile green, darkish blac, using two colours at a time. They're very smart,
