"1 ''T'l-'y ,4The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, October 28, 1986 Fashion experts hang up doubts about what's hot for fall ty"y-ffymiiynn By JESSICA BROOKS Staff Writer The problem: trying to get as many wardrobes as possible out of a few articles of clothing. This fall's answer, according to fashion experts, is the oversized sweater for women and the navy blazer for men. Barbara Shane, who works at Separate Quarters, said oversized cotton-knit sweaters are practical and in vogue this fall. "Oversized sweaters can be casual or dressy depending on what you put with them," she said. On the casual side, an oversized sweater with baggy pants or a pair of leggings is the way to go, Shane said. At Separate Quarters, over sized sweaters range from $80 to $150. The more formal oversized sweater wardrobe gets a few extra touches, such as a colorful scarf or pearls. Black is very popular and a good wardrobe builder, according to Shane. "Sometimes it's hard to get away from how good black is." Angela Robbins of Benetton on Franklin Street agreed. "You should start with basic colors, like some thing you already have accessories for." She also advises customers to "start with something neutral and incorporate colors." Robbins said oversized sweaters, starting at $48, are also popular at Benetton. "Mohair sweater-skirt sets are really big as well," said Robbins. The price at Benetton is $120 a set.

However, Shane said Separate Quarters employees do not usually use color analysis when choosing wardrobes for their customers. "Ill try anything as long as people are open to it," Robbins said. "We have a lot of bright colors here and we just try to go with what the customer wants." Allan Cole of The Hub has a more color-oriented way of picking out clothes for the men that shop there. "I usually put colors up against a customer's face to see what matches the best." In determining what colors look good, skin tone is more impor tant than hair color, Cole said. "Hair color is not a major factor." With one pair of pants, one blazer, two shirts and three ties. Cole said, a customer can get up to 10 outfits. A versatile outfit from The Hub starts with a pair of charcoal-gray pants and a navy-blue blazer, according to Cole. "Blue and gray do not limit your other colors," he said. 1 After the pants and blazer come the shirts and ties. "Always a white shirt when you're going dressy," said Cole. The dressy tie can be red,, yellow or mauve. On the other hand, Cole suggests a blue shirt and a red tie for the casual look. This combination of clothing comes to a total of $375. Cole said the price is a good one considering "you're getting quality clothing. It's going to last for a long time." But what is the one essential article of clothing that every wardrobe should have? According to Shane, a cotton flannel dress is perfect for women. "You never have to worry about what goes with it. Just throw it on and go," she said. Robbins' idea of one basic essen tial is a little more versatile. She said every woman should have "some thing in basic black. It's the best thing to have." A navy blazer is a man's safest bet, according to Cole. "A blue blazer is classic, versatile and basic," he said. But wearability counts above most other wardrobe considerations, Shane said. Her advice to the fashion-conscious college student is, "Fashion should be comfortable more than anything else. Dress that feels good, looks good." - In K M - f M'JE ' " , " - & U At & : w- j ' in ii n i i ii hi .i. i ... . m, Mi i i .Ti iiin-i1 iViiViVi i iVr 1 1 r.-i Jjagjiw DTH Larry Childress Fashion retailers suggest black clothes for their versatility ' ... . . flH khm HiH HH HHi 'I 1 I I I j 942-1221 Tues.-Fri. 9:30-6 Saturday 9-1:00 Fresh N.C.
