The article details twelve new hosiery and shoe shades from silver to bronze, urging color harmony with outfits. It advises conservative patterns for general wear, highlights bronze slippers, and notes trend shifts toward lower heels while warning of arch strain from flat designs.
A feature on the lure of accessories highlights girdles and bags as key vanity items in women's dress. Girdles show varied materials from kid to suede with jeweled clasps, mother of pearl placques, and decorative vanity cases. Bags include embroidered suede and velvet pouches with monograms and beaded trims, reflecting rising fashion interest in decorative utilitarian pieces.
Fashion notes describe fall hat styles heavy with large velvet and duvetyn shapes reserved for evening wear. Draped turbans such as Sheik Bolshevik Hindu and Gypsy vie for attention, with bandana-inspired accents and bold trims.
