Blues, Reds, Pinks
Are Color Favorites
It’s fashionable to sing the blues for Spring . . . sing it out in
full-scale from soft, touched with the sky blue ... to true, blue
navy! Harmonize your spring tune with tints and tones of the bright
primaries to mellow mixtures.
Leading the color parade is navy . . . dark and glowing and the
perfect foil for the brilliant white touches demanded by fashion.
Borrowed from the water-color
artists are the clear, glowing
shades of fruit colors . . . pump
kin . . . cherry . . . raspberry , . .
plum . . . lemon . . . and lime.
Jewel Family
From the jewel family comes
the vivid jade green, turquoise
blue, ruby, and topaz tones.
Shocking pink makes a drama
tic entrance into the fashion scene
again. From the mountains and
the plains ... from the deserts and
the forests . . . from the lakes and
the oceans, come such dramatic
demi-tints as buttercup yellow,, to
desert gold . . . seafoam green to
leaf green . . . robin’s-egg blue to
blue-black ... lilac to wild violet
Reds are royal . . . for comple
ment and for compliments! You’ll
see reds ranging from blush pink
to the fiery brilliance of cardinal
red. Wear red with white, with
grey, with navy and black . . .
add a dash of red to honey gold
and beige .. . frost it on chocolate
and cocoa tones.
Spring black will take beauti
fully to all the pale, sparkling pas
tels ... to the striking, intensity
of frosty whites.

Boy #
Look Invades
Fem Fashions
Sportswear and casual rclothes
this season, take the girls into
boyland, with soft, masculine
touches reminiscent of young
lads at dancing school.
The boyish look crops up with
a low-waisted shirt. .. with peter
pan collars . . . with suspender
skirts and plenty of shorts.
Boy-Cut brief jackets top draw
string shirts . . . and the added
attraction of a sparkling white
collar converts any casual dress
or sweater to the “little boy”
theme.
Add-on collar ensembles will
give extra dash to your tailored
ensemble. Such collar and cuff
sets appear in nylon, pique, or
gandy . . . are as tiny as one inch
in width and as wide as over three
inches. Dickies, too, will add dis
tinctive notes’to your ensembles.
Spice, the neckwear touches with
a brilliant, artists’s bow . . . and
voila, a “boy brummel” look!
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE LUII.EGL '
New Lingerie
Follows Trend
Of '5O Silhouette
With the advent of the glim
skirted fashion, the well dressed
Nittany co-ed of the mid-twen
tieth century year has shifted her
figure attention from her waist to
her hip and thigh sections.
The ideal figure for this spring
of 1950 is long ahd lean-hipped
with a gently rounded bustline
and flat derriere.
Every important foundation
garment you purchase for this
coming season will attempt to
stress the new silhouette.
Bras
This spring, bras will be more
rounded. Because the season’s
sheer dresses and blouses demand
pretty effects beneath, they will
have more color, more lace edg
ing and embroidery and more ap
pliques'. There will also be con
tinued emphasis on strapless and
plunging necklines styles.
Lighter fabrics for bras, with
especial emphasis on nylon com
bined with ravon, and more
white, are predicted for spring,
with less nude tones.
Chemises
Newest return to .the lingerie
wardrobe are chemises. These
shorter-than-slips } undergarments
go particularly well with the new
slim fashions. They come in cot
ton, flat nylon, pure silk and mUl
tifilament crepe. Many have cami
sole tops or adjustable straps and
all are approximately 35-inches
long or reach just to the top of
the stockings. , J
Wide , single borders to several
rows of narrow inserts of val lace
usually add feminine' trim to the
chemise which are featured in all
of the pastel colors as well ;as
navy, black,, grey arid light blue.
