Having a tremendous quality market of woollens to choose from, and also an originality with their native tweeds, British houses can always offer good suggestions in that line. Tweeds that score high in London collections find their way to the best fashion centres in America and indeed the world over. Shanghai shops at the moment contain some of the latest and finest of those British wools which never lose their popularity, largely because they never lose their fine quality. For the coming season in tweeds we shall see:
COMPANION TWEED of the pattern-plain type which registers well in suits.
RUBY RED is a youthful, lively sports colour which Lachasse likes in tweeds.
FANCY TWEED, with a plain dress wool will make a fashionable combination.
TWEED, with Cavalry Twill is an interesting fabric combination and will be seen a good deal. The tweed is used for the jackets and the twill for the si WOOL for Dinner Gowns is something which is being done again in New York, and which has endorsement in London. Jacquards and soft crepes of twisted yarns that lend a graceful drape are favoured.
NEUTRAL WOOLLENS for tweed suits are set forth in costumes with vivid access sories. Gray and white check tweed, for example, is worn with a cerise belt, gloves, carnation and veil. Very smart this. Brown tweed has emerald green accessories.
PLAIDS, brilliant ones are easily first choice in New York sports.
JACKETS of plaid are worn with plain skirts.
