Wednesday September 20, 2000 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER D1 TheQakville Beaver SPECIAL FASHION FEATURE fflLL S i t By now, we've all seen some fashion news on what the models in Milan are showing oft for fall. The flowing and revealing silk dresses are certainly gorgeous and well worth the attention, and the mens' suits are cutting edge, but with a price tag that appears a little too cool for fall. So, for those of us who aren't quite comfortable wearing a $3000 suit every day, what should we be wearing this autumn? Well, from the store that's always in fashion, here's what to look for this fall at The Bay. W Colours you'll see around town this fall are blacks, charcoals, browns, plums, greens and reds. Animal prints are also popular this year, but worn sparingly. A piece at a time, making a bold, yet sophisticated statement. Knits are always a favourite, the epitome of living easy - simple stylish pieces that save you a bundle! And ladies, make a statement in ultra feminine blouses, plaid (again, used sparingly), and traffic-stopping high-heeled boots. Faux furs are fun, while defiant leathers are a hit. If the mere thought of the approaching winter weather is enough to give you the chills, take heart. Plenty erf new polar fleece fashions are ready to warm up the entire family. Fleece vests are being seen everywhere, while faux fur, 'pleather' and nylon vests are popular as well. Also, new menswear 'knit1 sports jackets are a welcoming change for men.
