Fashion notes describe fall 1950 suits with narrow shoulder lines and straight skirts, three or four piece ensembles, longer jackets at least 26 inches, Paris inspired horseshoe neckline, arched hiplines with light padding, belted jackets, and new trims like braid and velvet. Deep gray flannel and checks lead suit preferences, with sheen gauards in tan and wine tones.
The piece advises coordinating stockings with outfits for fall using charcoal grey, mist grey, and pink tones to add depth. It notes spicy gold brown and beige shades, cooling skin tones, and contrast with red and black, including guidance for plaid garments and tonal variation.
Readers learn that choosing stocking color to match shoes and handbag completes a costume. The right shade provides a subtle, refined finish to coordinated outfits and accessories.
Inverted pleats sit near the hem to create added leg room while dresses described as matronly show a modified slender line. The text notes a design shift toward accommodating movement without sacrificing coverage.
Handsome rayon suits, fully lined and smartly styled, are being sold for fall and winter. Heavier weights replace the spring and summer worsted suits, with warmth without bulk, and moths stay away since the fabrics are entirely rayon. Capes and caplets dress the styles, including a blue grey striped vestee with a solid blue skirt.
The slender silhouette dominates fall fashion with versatile figures. Juniors showcase heel skirts and floaty net aprons with plaid wool overskirts, while misses dresses stay straight with concealed fullness and sharp slits, offering refined lines for the season.
