CASUAL

ALI

LL sports clothes shown in Paris during the last two or three years have been typically English-tailored, severe, classical.

This year the French designers seem to have been inspired by the more casual, but at the same time slicker, country clothes American women

wear.

You know the sort of thing; you see them in every country club scene in American films Blazer jackets over simple sweaters and pleated skirts; white serge coats with deep pockets and fitted waists; man's suit materials feminised by bits of bright colour or tricky little skirts..

Stripes come into their own for sports; they always have been "right" for wearing in the country, and now they're exceedingly smart as well,

The trick of putting a plain skirt under striped incket hows off the stripes, and to make it clear that the two go together and are not just an odd skirt and eant they are giving plain materials u striped partner.

That means that if you buy a length of, say, grey sulting for a skirt you will be able to get the same material, striped in another colour, for its Jacket.

BESIDES all sorts of men's suiling, designers

using flannel, inen, whipcord and serge. Serge particularly for blazers or for long coats; whipcord

for extra jackets

to go over tweed

or flannel skirts.

Jackets, like

on town

those sults, are longer,

filted, casily

bound sometimes with

braid and often slit up the back. Skirts are shorter, bul not inore than half an inch or so, and fuller.

Many of them urc accordion pleated all round; sometimes pleats are pressed down to the hips loft unpressed below,

Serge, plain and striped, makes this sports suit. Skirt is cream-coloured, made in G slightly flaring panels. Blazer jacket is striped with claret and bright green, and a panel of the green runs from neck to hem. Woollen sweater is

claret-coloured.
