"Coordinated Plan for a Woman's Wardrobe" McCall's 1964
I think the emphasis here was on Woman...this was intended for the mature, older woman. You were to wear muted tones and "handsome tapestry" while your hippy kids were wearing rainbows and afros.
"The whole trick is starting with a congenial, fashion right color (not necessarily a basic) and resisting all temptation to change your plan on impulse."
It reminds me of Tim Gunn who tells us all we really need are the ten basics in our wardrobe and lots of accessories. as if!
