Look your stylish best this holiday season in textured poly ester blends. Choose a look that is becoming to you from the myr iad of fashion styles to select from.

This applies to women in the in-between categories too. If the skinny rib tops, shags and clog shoes were too much for you this summer, the new fall styles deserve watching. The va riety of very bold plaids, soft subtle pastels, shiny trim, baggy legged pants, ladies shirts, and the no-bra look provide variety. Also a return to separates, suits and blazer outfits and of course pantsuits offer something for ev eryone. Planned wardrobes are the best, but many people do not take stock of what they own and what needs replacing when the season changes.

The accent this holiday will be on textured polyesters for easy care in packing and traveling. Everything will be washable, ex cept the jackets, which are spong- able. “Men are moving toward woven polyester and have found that some knits snag and pull too easily to be worn feasibly,” Rush said. Arnel-polyester, polyester and cotton and other drip dry fabrics are a must for the holiday travel er. When packing, collars and shirt fronts are the most impor tant parts of the shirt as suit- coats or blazers cover the body and sleeves. The layered look is very strong on campus and it looks good on students. While many companies are moving toward a packaged layer look, students are shying away from this, prefering to ex periment with their own look,” said Rush. Many of the “new” looks are nothing more than a revival of styles from the ’40’s, although the coats are longer and leaner than the old styles. Argyle socks and sweaters are the best examples of Men’s Revivals. As for wom en, it is the puff sleeves, longer shirts and baggy pants. Pleated pants and two-inch cuffs for both men and women’s fashions are considered very “in” this season. Long skirts, straight and gore straight grain, biased, pleated, and flared, coupled with body sweaters and boots are considered the thing for holiday travel tnis season.

Although there is an up-swing in better clothes, Rush said he has seen no “return to elegance.” “I think our society moves too fast these days to be able to go back to the old formal ways,” he said.
