The Wingham Advance-Times, 1965-04-08, Page 15Shoes Open up for Springy What women wear on their feet this spring will be more important to the fashion look of the costume than at almost • any time in history. The short skirt and leggy look, textured stocking vogue and pale tones in nylons, plus the growing trend toward en- semble dressing, all demand up-to-date footwear coordina- tion, if women are to look their best in the clothes they buy. Opened up styling domin- ates the field this spring. Show- ing great variety in their open- ed up effects, and a wide range of heel heights --low to mid- dling and high --shoes featured by the Shoe Information Bureau include slings, T and strippy strap types. Bared sides, lower toplines, and airy decorative • cutouts emphasize the "open" look in pumps. In some in- stances, pumps were almost slings. Up -front treatments in high-rise shaped tongues, tabs, bows and ties, achieve the "look" through artful side and • r THE atcs•MoNrro¢ a.r T. - 4." vn onuv,ypn Arptios /106 Gerritl• !Waal �iASiJ ERA Wad Red Face -Up •gl..w.1�.�i-Mom..

Fashion focus is still on closed toe styling though the Bureau did model one open toe, open back sandal. As summer takes over, such types will come more to the fore. Straighter heels are seen for spring, and remain slim for dress -up and late -day. In gen- eral, for daytime and casual wear, heel shapes boast varying degrees of thickness, depend- ing on the fullness of the toe. There will be fewer stacked heels and many more set back types. The color story spotlights black, and white for later on, followed by the paleneutralsor. eggshell tones, deepening into beiges and mid -browns. Navy blue is expected to make a good showing, moving ahead of red in importance. In pastels, it's mostly blue and pink. Patent leather, finely grain- ed calf, reptiles --genuine or print, with and without lustre finish, and kidskin are the lead- ing shoe materials. Combining of two textures of leather, such as reptile with calf or kid, etc. is a fashion factor. Combining of two colors, for example beiges and browns, is also seen. Silk faille bows, small and ladylike, or tailored and flat, tiny shoestring leather types, and ornamental buckles fre- quently make their appearance. CHAINED TO LEATHER and loving it is the girl wearing this new sling -back for spring. For bared beauty, it will be hard to beat his pale green cocktail shoe of smooth leather. Its slim gold chain is held by a bone leather strip and elasticized sling -back. -Leather Industries Photo.

Price $5.00, $5.98 and $8.98 Shorter Skirts This Season Spring is writing a new chap- ter in fashion, Fashion is back on a feminine track --boyish girls are out; masculine clothes gone, Hemlines, stabilized for many seasons, are on the rise again. Dimpled knees show be- neath abbreviated skirts and the emphasis has shifted once again to the leg. Women will wear their skirts as short as they can get away with, but everyone must adjust hemlines to suit herself. There is a great difference be- tween young and girlish and young and womanly. Skirts above the knee are for 18-year- olds and high school girls, and that's where they should stay. Spring shapes up with a whole new explosion of soft dresses. There is a return to the deep armhole, the dolman sleeve and shoulders are natural with collars smaller. Waist- lines are flexible, from Empire to hipbone. Narrow belts and soft bows rnark the waistline, Good Posture Easily Acquired A graceful walk and correct posture will do much to en- hance a woman's appearance and proper exercise can correct figure defects. A girl should always avoid walking with her legs too far apart, since this results in an awkward gait. The legs should move close enough to each other so that the knees just graze in passing. To improve the manner of walking, walk a chalkline, and practise this single -line manner. When a person straddles in walking, she looks broad because she is waddling and in time becomes broader because she is spread- ing muscles that should not be spread. If the arms are too fleshy and flabby -looking this can be corrected through exercise. Standing in good posture, ex- tend arms out sideways at shoulder level. Then rotate the right arm in its socket by reaching out in a big circle, repeat the same with the left arm, and finally both arms simultaneously. Relax when tired, then repeat. To develop the bustline, stand erect with both arms straight out at the sides at shoulder level, swing them for- ward, crossing them in front as far as possible, and keep swinging them forward and back as fast and as long as pos- sible. Steam Bath Cleanses Facial Pores Steam baths have long been popular for "steam cleaning" the body. Complexion cons- cious women are now using the same method for cleansing their face. This will not only deep - clean your pores because of the increased perspiration it pro- duces, but it also brings a won- derfully natural blush -red to your cheeks --a nice effect for special occasions. You can steam your face either by holding your head over a pot of boiling water with your head covered by a big turkish towel (be careful, though, of steam -burns!), or by folding a towel into two or three layers, putting it in hot water, and then putting this on your face. You can do this two or three times during the steaming,. then dash your face with cold water to prevent too much re- laxation of thc pores. Finish up the treatment by applying a thin layer of skin cream and leaving this on for at least a half-hour. Your pores will also be particularly responsive to massage at this time. Pretty Lingerie For Short Skirts The new, short skirts dictate that petticoats, slips and petti- pants must be chosen with care, for they are likely to show. The above -the -knees style skirts for the young ladies call for an equally bold concept in co-ordinating lingerie. It is more in keeping with this look to wear a green slip with a blue dress, pink under navy, yellow under orange. Since slip hems may show when one sits down, the lingerie color should be as nice a color complement as a scarf. Popular colors this spring are corals, blushing pinks, soft yel- lows and green tinged yellows, true blues and blues influenced by green, and black and white. Lace and floral embroidery on sheer, and chemise slips with camisole tops are dainty. The shift gowns and baby doll pyjamas provide sleeping com- fort. A useful and functional gar- ment is the pantie slacks, an ankle -length pantie ideal for wear under slacks, eliminating the unsightly line of short pan- ties. Since pants are playing such an important role in spring col- lections designers have agreed that a new padded, uplift girdle for high, rounded curves is the answer in giving pants a femin- ine look. Co-ordination, Boon to Teens There is plenty of emphasis on color, a whole vast range of pant suits, and a feeling for co- ordination that will be a boon to budget -conscious teens this spring. Plaid wool turns up in pant suits with blazer jackets, again in slim skirts that can be team- ed with the jackets and shell tops that can be worn with the pants. Navy and white wool flan- nel makes another crisp group with shifts, jackets, skirts and tops that can be mixed and varied to the teen heart's con- tent. Detail that bears watching -- the slight contour that gives subtle shape to a shift, the fine embroidery that gives a custom- made accent to a blouse, the contrasting piping that gives just the right color accent to an outfit. Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, Apr. 8, 1965 -.Page 7 Enamelled Pins Flutter, Fly; Float and Flatter The new mood of Spring Fashion is a strong statement of delicate colors, of a poised, pretty, feminine and young sophistication. Subtle colors such as oyster beige, pale bitter lemon, grass green, milky cor- al and icy blue worn in tonali- ties or as accents to each other are splendid foils for dramatic and appropriately matching or contrasting jewels. Handbags, gloves, hosiery are paled, butter soft and fragily feminine. The accent of an enameled flower pin creates a focal point for the simplicity of round, ba- teau and cowl necklines, pre- valent in spring collections. Pins in a galaxy of colors and designs are perfect exclama- tion points for the long, lean hip length jackets and slender coats. Enamels for spring are pri- marily soft in hue. Cabochon moonstones bathed in a soft glow in combination with bril- liants and enamel are exciting, imaginative and pretty. Spring "creatures" are fun and amusing; gold -tone bugs and beetles with fine, silhouet- ted wings will march smartly across the lapel of a suit or ac- centuate an interestingly new - looking short cap sleeve. One might pair a "creature" with a pretty posy for a conversation - starter, or perch them charm- ingly on a hat. The animal (beastie) influ- ence is felt, too, upon the arm - with lots of short sleeves and 3/4 length sleeves in fashion focus. Choose a golden -tone wrist -encircling ram's head or serpent bracelet; worn two `at a time, the effect is tantalizing; choose from a series of textured, nubby, crunchy gold tone bang- les for drama. The pierced ears have it for spring, in a wide collection of styles, from delicate stone studs to crystal and rhinestone drops for evening wear. The lady -like elegance of "pearls" blends perfectly with the spring -summer pales and looks wonderful with smooth tweeds and soft -in -hand fabrics. Clasps become important to contrast and blend with fashions, and add a jeweller's touch to pearl necklaces. ail ty, Easter shoes Ladies, get the lat- est styles, colors and textures in Easter shoes right here.
