One would naturally suppose that all the furor and excitement which rages throughout fashionland in regard to the ensemble costume would react to the detriment of the separate coat. Just the opposite is true. The popularity of the ensemble seems to have proved an incentive to designers to inject more originality, better styles, a superior workmanship and handsomer materials into the making of the spring coat than has been noted for seasons and seasons past.
No woman with an eye to chic can possibly resist the wiles of the new coats. For that matter, a handsome quality-kind separate coat is the foundation,-or should be, of every dependable, likewise smart, wardrobe. This season's models are thrillers.
This model boasts a new collar the likes of which was never sighted before, that one a capelet of extraordinary lines-and so it goes on through the procession of swanky models. Then again never-before-heard-of furs trim these coats, and if the fur is not new, then the shape of the kerchief or cape collar is all that and then some.
And the materials! Man's ingenuity has surpassed all previous records in the creating of handsome woolens this season. Even with the will to do so, one cannot describe the new worsted weaves, some with borders, some patterned through marvelous interweavings, others with selvedge edges which in themselves are that decorative designers haven't the heart to cut them away so they serve as trimming. Self-fringed edges are also very popular. That is, basket cloth is raveled by hand, giving a clever trimming to pockets, collars and hemlines.
Perhaps the most all-around popular woolens are those of loose lightweight basket weave. Just such a basket-weave tweed has been selected for the making of the swanky coat pictured.
A modern adaptation of an old costume is this Napoleon coat modeled somewhat after the type worn by the famous general. It has the familiar capelet and the military collar.
Style-wise women are quite charmed with the idea of the separate coat of some such breath-taking material as a tweed or rough woolen, the interwoven patterning striking a vividly colorful modernistic key, with which is white collar.
