ACCESSORIES

The woman who has one well-chosen outfit for the winter and wants to ring the changes depends for variety and ultimate chic on alternate sets of accessories, each matched to a colour scheme.

Gold jewellery of every kind is liked, in particular, fine gold mesh, making a necklace like a collar to wear with the high-throated dresses. Bunches of grapes in crystal or catalan are worn onthe revers or as a brooch on the shoulder. A cascade of seed pearls like a tassel is a fantasy of the moment which women like'to wear up at the neck.

Gloves are matched up to stockings with meticulous care when sun-beige, the most generally liked shade, is used, but with sable and earth browns, and also with blacks, a warm yet pale tan stocking is chosen.
