! $3 € - 8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, September 12, 1990 Coats for fall/winter envelop you in warmth. They're cozy, un- contrived and comfortable. Huge shoulder pads and stiff tailoring are passe. The overall look is fluid, yet streamlined. Long, full jackets and tunics are worn over clingy, catlike leggings. Coat colors and patterns are | flattering as well as fun; fabrics are plush and crushable. | The season’s must-have cover- up is a full, elongated jacket. (A bonus: Should you need the help, it ~ can be a hip-hider.) Wear the jack- et, along with a woolen or tweed sweater, tunic and/or vest, over the season’s shorter skirts, ski pants or dark leggings. COATS OF THE MOMENT You'll see parkas everywhere. They're oversize and snuggle you up in luxurious velvet, velour or quilted satin. Swing coats are obvious toppers for fall/winter’s silhouette: full on top, skinny below. Think of flow- ers supported by slender stems. Also important is layering: You should look well-wrapped. Tie your loose jacket with a wide sash, then collar yourself with a soft knit scarf, tied and tucked. Double-coating is definitely OK. Wear a thin outer raincoat over an undercoat of warm fur or wool. Isaac Mizrahi combines three coats: a long raincoat over a short wool poplin kimono over a short jersey kimono. Coat colors, like the current fashion palette, are everything but black — plus patterns. Favorite The wrap on cool weather cover-ups hues include military green, choc- olate brown, shades of gold and plenty of pastels. Hoods are hot. Chanel’s are demure face-framers; Donna Karan’s overcoat is dramatic and monklike; Romeo Gigli goes all out with capes that could have been worn by Little Red. Trenches worth digging include classic khakis, a favorite basic showing up in unexpected fabrics and lengths. Standard trench-coat details are still the same: import- ant-looking epaulets, buckled-up sleeves, notched collars and gen- erous belts. (Men take note: The Dick Tracy trench is a keynote of the season.) Other slick-styled wet-weather cover-ups come in snappy checked ginghams and storm-defying, pun- chy pastels.

Cosmetic experts say that humidity can cause powders to crumble and cream-based foundations, blushes and shadows to develop mold. SOURCES: Mary Kay Cosmetics; First for Women magazine Women are rediscovering the value of accessories. With clothing costing more in a time when many women ‘have fewer dollars to spare, accessories supply fresh- ness and give last year’s clothing new life. Some of this season’s best up- daters are leggings. A cross be- tween pantyhose and skinny pants, ~ these opaque, cropped-to-the- ‘ankle bottoms are worn under miniskirts as an alternative to tights when the weather is cold, or for the more daring, worn in tan- dem with a long sweater or jacket. Black is the preferred color, in “a cotton or cotton/Lycra blend. But runway models sported brightly hued leggings to comple- ment many of the newer color- blocked outfits Seventh Avenue is pushing. For those who occasion- ally choose dressing with a retro feel, swirly, imaginatively printed leggings that recall the 1960s pat- terns of Emilio Pucci are also an option. The trendiest bag to date, an import from the streets of Paris, is the backpack. No longer the boxy carryall of the French schoolchild or the self-righteously functional sack of American hikers, the backpack is sleeker than ever before — and decidedly grown-up — in black leather, or in durable black synthetic fabrica- tions. Look for the exclusive ca- chet of Prada bags that sport a metal triangular tab, a status symbol among devotees of Euro- pean street fashion.

De- signer Bill Blass trotted out cashmere sweaters to accompany his strapless dresses. Wrapped and tied around the neck, these toppers introduced a casual note into evening wear. Worn in lieu of scarves with tweedy suits, Blass relied on sweaters wrapped about the neck to provide a jot of color. Large stoles steal onto the scene now as an alternative to evening coats (another of this year’s revivals). Look for brightly colored satin wraps in excess of 9 feet in length that make a dramat- ic statement for night. Larger than life, these wraps reflect a trend toward oversize accessories. Scarves, too, abound in oversize squares of silk or challis. Histori- cally speaking, scarves have pro- vided a tableau for airing social issues. Printed with slogans that rallied citizens in wartime or commemorated British derby winners or the sites of Olympic ‘games, scarves today reflect the greening of the fashion industry. America’s growing environmental consciousness crops up on today’s scarves with plant and wildlife motifs.
