It may still feel like July, but when
the cool October air finally hits
campus, area stores will be bom
barded with students consumed with
a passion ... a passion for fashion.
Chapel Hill clothing stores are
carrying the latest looks for the new
season, and a quick look through
their racks can give the style
conscious an idea of what's in and
what's not. All a well-informed
college student needs to be a stylish
success is a free day to comb the
stores and Dad's credit card.
So here it is everything that's
new and different in lengths, colors
and styles for fall 1986:

is on comfort but not sloppiness.
Sweaters and sweatshirts are still
oversized but are paired with fitted
shirts, pants and jeans.
B Denim, both studded and plain,
and 100 percent cotton shirts dom
inate the casual look. Great acces
sones for the "blues" are big silver
hoop earrings and matching
bracelets.
B Simplicity is another fashion
theme. Black, white and red are the
dominant colors around which entire
wardrobes can be built. Especially
popular is a black and white hound
stooth pattern, particularly in wool.
Small checks or plaids in black and
white are another favorite.
B Sweaters, particularly those

I for comfort, simplicity
that are hand-knit, continue to be
popular. Carousels, playing cards
and colorful flower bouquets are just
a few of the elaborate patterns
featured.
B Knits are also prevalent in skirts
and pants. These are generally in
bright, bold colors, reflecting a
carefree style.
B On the dressier side, rounded
shoulder pads with tapering wais
tlines flatter the figure. Minis remain
quite stylish when worn with a full
sized sweater or accented with a wide
belt. Skirt length in general, however,
remains long generally mid-calf.
B Colorful, silky challis skirts are
paired with sweaters that pick up the
same pattern, and solid-color cash
mere sweaters can add even more

style.
B For a particularly chic look, this
season's jackets tend to be simple
with classic, tapered lines and elab
orate gold buttons.
B Accessories are daring, adding
a spice to an otherwise generic
wardrobe. Silver jewelry is making
a comeback, and thick, gold hoops
and large pearls are also popular.
Mock-crocodile skin is the "in" fabric
for accessories of all kinds, with belts,
handbags and shoes all sporting the
"mock-croc" look.
B The accent this fall is shifting
to the waistline. Oversized hip belts
are on the way out, although gold
coin chains wrapped loosely around
the waist appear to be a popular item.

Unique designs in

The fashion craze is generally
associated with frenzied women
racing through department stores in
search of bargains on th latest styles.
But recently, men ha , . . , jying
more attention to style.
"Men today are working out," said
David Salley of the Hub Ltd. "They
care about themselves, and they care
about their clothes."
B Shirts for the fall are bold,
putting a little daring into an oth
erwise plain suit. Stripes are espe
cially popular, as are English spread
and wing collars.
B In all areas, natural fibers
remain popular, with Sea Island
cotton and silk shirts selling well at
Julian's.
fl Pleated trousers are becoming
paisley and black and white from
en's fashions shake
quite stylish. They tend to be closely,
cut at the bottom.
B Sweaters are colorful with inter
esting designs. Alexander Julian
features a patchwork patterned,
Shetland heather sweater in two
different color combinations. It can
be paired with his solid-colored
pants, which have matching flecks of
color.
B Neck wear has probably wit
nessed the most dramatic change in
men's fashion, and ties can be found
in a multitude of colors. This addition
in a bright color or with a unique
pattern makes a suit stand out.
B Suit jackets and blazers tend to
have a lower button placement, and
some also may sport no vent for a
classic line.
B Popular accessories for fall
men's wear are bow ties with match

stuffy look
ing silk braces (suspenders). French
cut. shirts are being worn with silk
knot cuff links. Pocket squares are
seen on the suits of ' all fasionable
men, and scarves add class to winter
coats.
B Formal wear, which was almost
unseen for some time, is now comin
back, with if idition of paisl
cummerbunds and ties. Stripe
foulards are also appearing.
B Men today are paying more
attention to their shoes. Rather than
staying with the traditional loafers,
wing-tips and lace-ups, more details
are being added. Shoes have a lower
vamp and cleaner lines. According
to Salley, nice clothing without the
proper shoe ruins the entire effect.
Men's attitude about fashion is
changing. Style is coming back. Am'
for this fall, conservative is boring.
