Fall Wardrobe
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
NEW YORK (UPD Oh to be
a man shopping for a new full
wardrobe. No big decisions to
make 'concerning 'the- high waisi
linfi, the low waistline or the no
waistline.
For the happy male,1 it s mostly
a- ; matter of ' deciding which
stripes. This fall, the man who
dresses to the minute will wear
mere of them than a convict. :il
tl otigh the stripes will be subtle
and not cell-block bold.
"The man in the gray flaur.'.l
suit is through," said a stylist for
the men's and boy's wear inter
industry council. "This wiil be a
striped year."
Favorite combinations aie biack
and brown. A narrow black stripe,
for instance, runs -through a
brown suit bVown is leading
suit color for fall." Or, a brown
stripe is used on a black back
ground. The men don't suffer through'
all the fluctuations in fashion we
women- do. But this fall there are
some changes. First, a slight al
teration in shape.
The council said the Ivy League
straight lines have given way to
a silhouette it called the -"American
Ambassador" with some
indentation in the suit jacket at
the waist, closer spacing of jacket
buttons and some shoulder pad
ding. Plus, pleated trousers which
the true Ivy Leaguer disdains but
which help camouflage any waist
line bulge. - i .
The new silhouette is generally
slim, with narrow lapels and nar
row trousers. And any hat with
a brim wider than two inches is
an old hat. This fall, hats are to be
worn pinched at the fronts "cen
ter-dent," the industry calls the
crease. Hatband bows are on the
side, not the back.
' Topcoats, both wilh the casual
raglan shoulder and more formal
set-in sleeve come in a new length
or just below the knee on a she
40 male, which is about two
inches shorter than last season.
Manufacturers feature navy
blue as the leading topcoat shade.
One' coat called the "American
Warmer" is in navy wool velour
with a bright red wool lining.
Tweeds abound, but with a flat
surface instead of a rough and

"All I expected from my Phillips 66 Dealer
was ten gallons of gasoline and maybe the

Then the battery and radiator. 1 figured he

That's what he said . . . everybody! t
