SCENE ON THE STREET : FASHION FROM THE FARM

The overall picture is bright.

If people are returning to their roots and reveling in rusticity, manufacturers are making hay while the sun shines.

And even big kids dig the bibs. Hey, not only is your shirt clean after lunch, but there’s that loosey goosey feeling as the waist, constrained in tight jeans all these years, can expand with relief (and in secret).

The overalls here were seen in Pomona, West Covina, Altadena and Pasadena--none of them in pastures.
