Women W ear the Pants in Paris Collections
By ROSETTE HARGROVE . the day and on -into evening It was four years ago when he No matter how ideal your vital statistics mav be wear .
NIA Paris Correspondent % . showed a collection almost entirely, conceived on that theme
. Today his hunch has been proved right..
PARIS—NEA) — There were many disbelievers when
avant-garde designer Andre Courreges predicted that the time Since pants may be here to stay, it seems a precautionary
was not far off when women would wear pants throughout note is in order - 11 400 nary
No matter how ideal your vital statistics may be, wear a
top, be it jacket, cardigan, tunic or what-have-you that extends
below the derriere. :
You can never be quite sure about the view from the rear
And if it’s covered', it can’t be ludicrous.
Paris featured a bewildering choice of pants suits and en-
sembles. And it's a safe bet that this is a fashion which will
take, not only for sports and country wear but for city
dwellers, career women and students.
Most of the new pants have lost their masculinity. Some are
pipestem-slim, others widen at the hem Several are cuffed
and in many instances there are no creases down the front
The bottom of the new pants reaches the top of the shoes,
giving a long legged look The pants are worn with chunky
square-toed shoes with thick, three-inch heels.
- Topping the pants a category that also includes jumpsuits
—are many variations on the tunic theme, the long fitted
jacket and the pea jacket Slim-shirtwaisters, Mao shirts or
wool or jersey sweaters with enormous roll collars are teamed
. with these
Also part of the daytime picture are the culotte-dress worn .
under a seven-eights coat and the Bermuda shorts suit with
the longer jacket offered as an alternative to the conventional
skirt
Pants have invaded the evening scene with some very
formal numbers. They reach below the ankle and are very
wide as shown in the Yves-Saint Laurent collection.

wide bell sleeves worn, under a glittering tunic of gold lame •
brocade, belted in gold with a long black silk tassel
• Another equally formal model was a floor length tailored,
long-sleeved coatdress in silver and white lame over, wide
pants of the same fabric. : -

Typical of the pants suits shown by Yves Saint Laurent in his current winter collection is the model (left)
teaming a beige long jacket in heavy jersey with a jump suit in iron gray jersey, low belted and high collared
-----------------and fastened at the side. For country wear Jean-Louis Scherrer suggests the pants outfit (center) with sleeve-
less scoop.neck tunic worn over a turtleneck sweater and midi-length pants Jeanne Lavin's contribution to
the pants craze is derived from the judo jacket- and teamed with Bermuda shorts (right) Matching cop com-
pletes the outfit.

At Nina Ricci there was a luxurious pajama for evening
in white crepe satin The wide pants were topped by a long
tunic with full sleeves cuffed in glittering embroidery This
in turn was topped by a long, sleeveless coat with all-over
embroidery of raised gold flowers
The one strange note in the Paris pants picture is that
although all the leading sty Ie setters, headed bv Saint Lau-
rent. went all-out for pants outfits for the coming winter.
Courreges, who predicted their popularity, did not.
