AXOW HIGH fashion can you be— when you're in high school? The answer is— the sky's the limit! The trend is toward clothes as slick and model-ish as you can make them, even for after-school when you're just kicking around the house! For example, you don't just climb into your old blue jeans and boy's shirt when you get home in the afternoon, even if you're only going to raid the refrigerator, and then maybe clean up your room. Far from it! You put on pants, as you always have— but they're slick new pants. And you reach for a smart dark print blouse, which is the latest blouse there is! The idea is to be relaxed and casual, but good-looking enough not to mind a bit if somebody rings the doorbell unexpectedly. Of the four blouses shown here, three are chemise style, to be worn on the outside, and one is meant to be tucked in, which gives you an idea of the general ratio of overblouses to fitted blouses. All four are dark cotton prints, with designs running from small neat foulards (like your boy friend's tie) to tiny madder patterns (like those little designs in the middle of hard candy). The pants you choose can be anything from tapered knee-pants to the new wider slacks, to Bermudas or Jamaicas— but the very newest are not really pants at all— they're tights! The rage for tights began with the colored or black cotton lisle stockings that everybody's wearing. When they keep right on going all the way up to your waist, they become tights. They were originally intended to be worn as stockings that keep you warmer, because they're so much longer, and they are usually worn under your skirt. But now a lot of bright girls have decided that they look pretty dashing as is, and they do. Naturally, you don't go out in public in your tights, but they do look marvelous at home. And if you do have to dash out, all you do is slip a skirt over your tights, and you're all set with super-fashionable cotton or synthetic stockings. If you're brave, they're bright red. Of course, we think this print-and-pants look is exciting enough to wear for its own sake, i)ut there's another very good reason for changing your clothes the minute you get home from school. As any clothes-minded girl will tell you, you simply can't keep your school wardrobe looking smart if you wear it to classes and then lounge around in it all afternoon. Your chemises, trapezes and skirts and sweaters will keep their shape and their style a lot longer if you take them off, brush them neat and hang them up when you get home. Same goe% for shoes. Nothing is harder on shoes (and on your feet) then wearing the same pair all day, and the next day. But if you add some little flats to your take-it-easy clothes, you'll find both your home and public clothes will seem fresher and more fun to wear. Don't forget jewelry, even if you're not going any place. Dress up your pants and prints with the new long chains . . . if your friends deserve to see them, so do you! And if your hairdo is not yet wide and carefully tousled— why isn't it? After all, glamour begins at home!
