Subdued femininity is a distinguishing feature of suits, dresses and play togs for the spring and summer months. Tailored, dressmaker, costume—all three types will be fashionable in suits. The classic mantailored suits have sleek but not severe lines. Rrvers are narrower, closing higher, while the jackets are longer. Jacket dresses seem tagged for popularity. Fullness in skirts remains but starts from the hipline. A "cover up” trend is noticeable in play clothes with some "outfits” made up of bra, shorts, skirts anti suspender skirt.
