TOP SHOP
a moving experience...
have a special DENIM Story to tell this winter. Iced Denim or Bleached denim, to use another name, is a very big story and encompasses everything in Fashion. Dresses and shirts in light weight denim. Huge jackets fashioned in Heavier Denim — can be worn over anything. Denim Skirts — some fuller in style but mostly straight. . .-mid knee for the younger buyer and calf length in the more- classic style. Blazers, jeans, and a new look very strong in Europe — ‘The Dust Coast.' This has a long slim look, basically plain with maybe one or two buttons. Black Denim comes to the fore and is selling very strongly, once again this is found in Jackets, Dresses and Skirts. Plain Denims and also those with a surface pattern. Classic styling in dresses... an enormous swing to dresses with a classical look. The fabrics are in Houndstooth, Prince of Wales check in poly/viscoes and lightweight wool/ acrylic. Other fabrics featured are Gabardine, wool jersey and striped knits. As in most fashion garments, shoulder pads are in demand. The pouch dress which comes into a bask at the skirt, is proving to be a very popular style. As is the double breasted shirt dress. Top Shop claim there is a definite swing
back to the tailored dress and suit also skirts and jackets. KNITWEAR — Softer yarns are being used in plainer knits for dresses and suits either 100% wool or Angora. Stripes are big news in fine knit or chunky. Top Shop keeps abreast with the latest fashion trends — to be well dressed this winter you must shop at TOP SHOP, Merivale Mall.
