It describes two outfits: a rugged suit with knickerbockers, attached leggings, detachable skirt, and a sturdy coat with patch pockets, plus a lighter silk and wool ensemble with a shawl collar. Accessories include hats and a practical bag for lunch and essentials.
The article previews an all-day dress for women that combines morning informal style with afternoon smartness, featuring a wool frock with narrow braid and angora trim, a belted front, and a semifitted bodice.
