Grey For Golf

Grey flannel suits are being worn extensively abroad for sports, particularly golf. A Paris paper states that at a recent competition at the Chantilly Club, nearly half the women wore grey flannel suits. Most of the suits were severely tailored on masculine lines, with hip length coats, slightly fitted, single or double breasted. The skirts Were plain and flared sufficiently to give an easy stance, just reaching to the middle of the calf. Two suits were noticed with swagger coats two-thirds in length, and swagger tweed suits were also worn, but these were in the minority. Many of the flannels were dark, and of weaves Usually used only for men’s suits. One or two suits were in lighter plain grey. A dark brown flannel suit had white chalk stripes, and was made without a collar, and had larger lapels than usual. The coat, too, was belted. Many light-coloured suits Were worn with dark blouses, navy being in the first place, with reds, bright or dull,

and browns next. Otherwise, the blouses were in bright pastels, light yellow or apple green, all attractive with grey.

They were mostly made of synthetic jersey, fine wool jersey, fine handknitted fabric, foulard, linen or shantung, and were mostly of the shirt waist type.
