Fall and winter raincoats grow in popularity with bright linings and new fabrics. Styles include water-repellent hooded parkas, double-breasted and knee to fingertip lengths, and car coats. Built in or attachable liners add warmth for outdoors, with options from raglan business wear to formal black tails and sporty car-length coats for skating.
Bold fall 1956 sportswear highlights include action back jackets for freedom of movement, belted Norfolk styles, blazer options in solid and striped fabrics, and a parade of patterns such as checks, plaids, and herringbone. Slimmed slacks, hip pocket flaps, and varied outerwear from washable nylons to suede jackets define the season’s leisure wear.
Leather varieties range from polished browns and blacks to rugged textures with slim tapered lasts. Dress and casual shoes show refined stitching, narrow feather wells, and hand accented grains. Brown dominates now, with Continental Italian influence reshaping a classic American look.
The piece describes new fall styles with fewer eyelets and popular three and four eyelet ties. It notes intricate handwork and stitching variety from simple mal to v bow square and round chine stitches on many garments. Slip-ons move from casual to dress and business wear with coats, jackets, and wide skirts in smooth leathers and hipbone lengths.
Short, youthful formals feature baby-doll fullness and windblown panels. Sophisticated lines include long-sleeve Directoire dinner dresses, slim sheaths, and balloon silhouettes for the season.
