Luster and new shapes define fall hats with a relaxed look and varied silhouettes. Berets, turbans, beret-turban hybrids, and swagger hats in velour and fur blends appear with rich textures, trims, and bold colors. Jersey knits, satins, and feathers detail daytime to evening millinery as half-size sports wear expands for mature figures.
Fall bridal fashion leans on velvet and velveteen with dull satin and taffeta for texture. Gowns favor slender fronts and easy back-sweeps, empire lines, and simple cuts enhanced by scroll embroidery, jewel trims, side poufs, and fur accents. White mink and ermine touch sleeves and necklines as petticoats add volume and horsehair hems shape soft silhouettes. Off-white ivories and ice blues reinforce a soft, luxurious palette.
Fashion prints showcase a range from brilliantly striped evening skirts to boyish blouses with tiny animal motifs and tweed printed career dresses. Tasteful party dresses feature understated prints, with exotic paisleys in ensembles from fireside trousers to townwear.
A 1954 fashion preview describes leather looks for fall blending with tweed and wool. It notes casual coats and shadow blacks, tan tones, and dramatic silhouettes. Sport suits, double-breasted styles, and boxy spencers appear with pastel colors and practical features like extra shelves and working space.
