Bright colors are key \u2014 but select only those that complement your personal palette.If you're not sure, see a color consultant.Despite the season's leeway, there are distinct trends you'll want to follow.Colors, fabrics, patterns, textures and accessories define the look, as do the new silhouettes, necklines and trims.The big news is pants.You will see them everywhere: billowy pyjamas for evening, cigarette legs and knickers for day/play, man-tai- lored trousers with sweaters and jackets for work.Color crazy The styles are quiet.The colors aren't.You have Christian Lacroix to CLOTHES WITH FLAIR FROM AROUND n THE WORLD Stylish different Ladies\u2019 wear Business *® Sport Evening * Weddings GREAT SELECTION & SAVINGS BOUTIQUE FANTASQUE Consignment Shop 2080 Crescent 288-3655 Charles de Westmount e Internationale 1 WESTMOUNT SQUARE 931-7251 6100 DU BOISÉL ATRIUM DU SANCTUAIRE 343- 4443 HAIR STYLING thank (or blame) for shades that shout during what is normally a subdued season.You can't go wrong if you combine a vivid jacket with a black skirt or pants, opaque hose and pumps.Plaids and checks are popular, including black and white hounds- tooth and black, brown and/or gray combined with red.Prints are less prominent overall, but florals are still with us (particularly anything with roses).Tapestries, too.Its still OK to mix plaids, polka dots, florals, paisleys and stripes.Sharp shapes The overall silhouette is form-fit- ting but not skintight.(Stay in that aerobics class.Clothes look best \u2014 and this season is no exception \u2014 on a well-toned, slender body.) Take it from the top: topknot, that is.Wear your hair high in a ponytail, chignon or knot.Note: fake hairpieces reminiscent of the '60s are coming back.Next, necks.For the most part, necklines and collars are uncluttered.Most noticeable are soft shawl collars, turtlenecks, crew and boat necks, and not quite off-the-shoulder wide scoops.Funnel-necks appear on coats and shirts.Add fur for evening.Jackets range from cropped and sassy (boleros and bombers) to long and shapely (blazers, with or without lapels).You'll see them belted, with partial peplums and short and swingy, too.Billowing wraps \u2014 coats, capes, WE AE A et \u2014 Must-haves for fall Ready to go shopping?Add these to your list of fashions that update your wardrobe, and show off your style sense: ® Bold-colored jacket ® Stockings in opaque black and fuchsia ® Large earrings in geometric shapes, especially round * Tailored trousers for day ® Full, flowing trousers and ankle-length gowns for evening k-, Fringed shawl @ ® Turtle- and T-neck sweaters e Chemise dress © Black flats ® Anything cashmere ® Black vinyl raincoat ¢ Slender suit in a soft knit.a PU stoles and shawls \u2014 steal the show.Shoulder pads are going, going, but not gone.The quarterback look has been sidelined; shoulders now are softer, more rounded.Skirt length Skirts are softly tailored and straight; hems hit anywhere from midthigh to ankle, but most often hover between 2 inches above the knee and midcalf.For evening.go longer and fuller.The most noteworthy dress style is the chemise.It hangs straight from the shoulder, fits loosely at the waist and tapers gently at the knee \u2014 a style that was revolutionary when Balenciaga introduced it 30 years ago.Pants most often are high-waisted and wide-legged.For evening, there's the skirtpant: pants so wide they resemble skirts.Finish with flats and simple pumps \u2014 best in black.Feel-me fabrics If you can't resist running your fingertips along a fabric, it's probably in style.Look for those that are shirred, quilted, ribbed, nubby and puckered.Tis the season to be tactile: Indulge in smooth, soft leather and suede, velvet, cashmere, alpaca, ribbed twill, silk damask, satin, wool crepe, chiffon, feather-light gabardines, and fur.For play, denim is as popular as ever; this season, the colors are darker.Go indigo.Accessories and accents Finishing touches to fall/winter fashions include scalloped edges, fringes, collars and cuffs trimmed in velvet and fur, tassels, braids, buttons and bows.Embroidery, instead of beading, embellishes evening wear.Belts are narrower (they couldn't get any wider!).Look for a Southwest/cowboy influence in leather belts and watchbands.Clutches are canteen-like, made of soft colored leathers.Reptile patterns still slither.Hats are back \u2014 and they're the exception to the rule: Frivolous is fine.Farrings remain large and round; necklaces are multiple, as are bracelets.Any jewelry designed by a big- name architect ves.architect) is so BOUTIQUE AVANTAGE-PLUS PRET-A-PORTER SPECIAL OFFER Buy 3 pairs of Cameo or Whisper pantyhose and receive a 15% discount e Great selection of Houndstooth, solid, suits, sweaters, separates and accessories.Qe Name it!!

The shape allows more movement underneath \u2014 great if you hate feeling confined.Splashed with bright colors, satin- lined wool swing coats and jackets make a fashion statement.Their sturdy double-faced fabrics hold their shape.Wear them over high- waisted dresses or leather skirts.Buttons are big, usually black or es Side zippers Front zippers or Pull on Defrosters by KAUFMAN as seen on TV Light weight Waterproof Salt & stain proof Top quality material @Wm.H.Mack Ltée @ 4960 Sherbrooke St.West Shop early while styles, heights & sizes are available Tel.484-8595 i NS / PLACE L'ACADIE-BEAUMONT à 1256A BEAUMONT, V.M.R.gold.Necklines are often high, some with face-framing funnel collars.Not all coats are capelike (remember, this is a season of options).Belted redingotes (long, plain, dou- ble-breasted coats) are one exception, as are blazers and jackets.These are usually fitted \u2014 wide at the shoulders, narrow at the waist.Huge shoulders are slimming down, becoming more rounded.Blazers are less boxy, more struc \u201ctured.Jackets are short and snug particularly when worn with pants.Your wardrobe should include a shawl.Wear it as an alternative to a coat or jacket or to add another warm layer to any outfit.Shawl fabrics are luxuriant (one favorite is cashmere) and often trimmed in fringe.Coat couture Designers envelope women in big, cozy coats of Mongolian and Persian lamb, embroidered mohair, boucle, mink-lined suede, plush wool velvet, silk brocade, blanket plaids, hairy wools, bulky tweeds and wool felt.Collars are fur or velvet.Others, inspired by Christian Lacroix\u2019s fichus, look like shawls.Some are so deep that they can be pulled up and used as hoods; others rise high into tunnel shapes to keep the wind off the neck and chin.For a high-fashion look, combine a purple haze clutch coat with an amethyst ribbed cowl-necked wool sweater and an indigo suede skirt.Or wear a windowpane plaid topcoat over tattersall plaid pants.Fluffy, chubby lamb jackets dominate wool pants.Tailored coats have crocheted lapels and sailor collars.This traffic-stopping red wool melton coat from Laura Ashley features a full swing skirt, black scrollwork and black velvet buttons.Swirling capes reminiscent of a Russian winter caress at calf-length.As big as blankets, they are made of wool, feathery Mongolian lamb and cashmere.~ Some are plaid, others hounds- tooth-checked or solid.Details include smocklike gathers at the shoulders and leather fringe.Wear capes, cape-coats and wrap coats over co-ordinating tailored trousers and simple short dresses.A finishing touch: leather gloves.Shop for versatility The right raincoat functions well in variable weather.And it goes to the office as well as the ballgame.One made of lightweight cotton or rayon will see you through several seasons.Right-on raincoats dont have to be trench.Swing is in.Nor are you stuck with khaki, grey, taupe or black.Multiseason colors include pumpkin, hot _pink and crimson.The sun may hide, but you'll shine in vinyl \u2014 or waterproof silk taffeta.Raincoats reflect subtle patterns and quilting; black and metallic finishes dominate.The ultimate luxury in rainwear is fur lining.The secret to a coat\u2019s versatility is within: zip-out insulations.Zip in the lining for cooler days, zip it out as temperatures rise.Zipability means more than linings.À zip-out hood converts a general outer-coat into one with added warmth.It provides protection from wet weather, too.Whatever coat you choose, make sure the fit is loose enough to devel op an insulating interior envelope of warm air.LATEST FALL FASHIONS AT arriage Trade * Tricoville * Gerard Pasquier * Marcelle Griffon * Ports * Caroline Rohmer * Jones New York ern po re _- 0
