For this nation of close to 230 million persons is on a fitness, health seeking and maintenance kick. The results are manifold. If we stick with our choice of activi ties, we become healthier, slim mer, probably add years to our life span and certainly do an ab out-face in our style of living. The turnaround reflects in fashion. That is why today, items once classified for the locker room have become the basics of war drobes. Look for instance at the two- piece warmup suit, once for the gymnasium and the players’ bench — a baggy item in undis tinguished gray. Now a favorite with joggers and runners, it has emerged as a must in our leisure wardrobes, dressed up, re-styled and alive with color. It is worn for everything from lolling to shopping, traveling, spectator sports and even goes to parties. “I’m just back from business in La Jolla, Calif.,” said Arnold Schoenfeld, president of Loom- togs, a major sportswear firm headquartered in New York. “It seemed to me everybody was wearing a warmup suit. On my last trip to Europe, I saw the warmup suit everywhere. “The same trend goes for ten nis dresses. Women who never held a racquet in their life love them. They’re cool, pretty, easy to care for, and the wearer looks like she’s into the ‘active’ life.” Designer Norma Kamali said: “I think what’s happened is the change in the mood of the na tion. The stress has turned to comfort, practicality, the econo mical.” You can go to the opera or a concert at Lincoln Center in New York, for instance, and right there alongside women in formal gowns, tlteir jewels and furs, you’ll find music lovers in dungarees. This spread of informality was too much for Hope Hamp ton, a former opera star who died January 23 at 84. She gave up the grand entrance business, and not because of age. A friend, Tony Carlyle, said first nights lost their appeal when Miss Hampton saw a young woman in dungarees at the opera. “Glamour is finished,” Hampton said. “I don’t want my picture in the paper next to a girl with jeans on.” The advances made in fabrics also are a factor, both in styling and color. After World War II, nylon became a staple especially for outdoor wear. Along came new knits, poplins and terry cloths that could go right into the family laundry. The new velours add a feeling of luxury and are especially popular for at-home wear. No one has attached rhines- —y e designers can do a lot of styling with the basic garments. Most manufacturers have added more color, in prints and stripes, and to break away from gymnasium gray, are using what Bauer called “subtle, light and medium tones” — the corals, pinks, beiges, ivories and lilacs. Others add embroidery, appli que and even metallics. Very few utility items have escaped. Jogging shoes now go to and from the office, alon with an extra pair of traditiona business shoes for the working hours. “Casual attire has nottfe Establishment dress, 1 ’ Bauer, skier and former Mi Corps officer. “For theki man, I suppose we’ll ahvan the suit, the tie, the vest," Eli Elias, presidentandft tive director of the Nenj Skirt and Sportswear, tion, sees matters this wai;| Wiimmiiimimmiiiiimmjmmmimmmiimmiimiiiiimimmmiimiiimmimmiimmmi ATTENTION CLASS OF 1982 If you are interested in running for 1982 Class Agent, please come by the Association of Former Students Office, visit with Pam Behling and pick up an application.
