COLOUR ECONOMY

TWO-COLOUR WARDROBE

It is always more economical to keep as much as possible to the same shades when planning a new season’s wardrobe. If you choose several dresses in distinctly different colours it will make your wardrobe expensive when you have to buy a number of extra accessories to match, states The New Zealand Herald.

’ Here is a two-colour wardrobe, which allows for the minimum number of accessories. In it are provided frocks, coats, hats, shoes and gloves for day and evening wear, the two colour motifs being brown and blue:— Dark brown cloth or fur winter street coat. *

Dark brown frock to go with it. Lighter golden brown frock to go with it.

Medium tobacco brown tweed coat for sports or travel in spring and autumn. Brown and white chevron tweed suit.

Separate skirt of beige homespun to wear with matching or dark brown pullover for country wear and under tweed coat.

Separate skirt of blue to wear with blue pullovers. A brown and cream dotted silk summer afternoon frock. An informal brown lace or blue lace dinner gown. A formal cafe au lait satin evening gown. A flowered evening gown, rather large figures of burned orange and brown on cream ground. A pale cafe au lait dressing-gown of crepe. A blue flannel bathrobe.

A blue felt and a brown felt sports hat and a beige natural straw. Brown suede pumps, brown leather laced shoes, brown satin sandals for evening (or blue). Brown gloves, pigskin gloves. Cream or white blouses.

White, blue or brown summer sports frocks. .
