N o r m a lly , when we
think of fashion, it’s in
terms of women s clothing
But this attitude is rapidly
becoming a thing of the
past More and more men
are giving serious rotund
erat ion to the way they
look.
S till, i t ’s d iffic u lt to
project long-range trends
in menswear
Taste in men s clothing
is more fragmented than
ever, which is a good deal
for the customer, the guy
who has to wear the dry
goods turned out by the
world’s designers and man
ufacturers.
This means that nobody
can point a finger at a man
and tell him he's not wear
ing the ‘‘right’’ outfit for
the occasion Unless he
shows up at his grandmoth
er’s funeral in something
better suited for a date at
an X-rated movie house
Change has come over
the years and. along the
way. much of the junk has
been d is c a rd e d fro m
m ensw ear
o ffe r in g s
Doubtless more junk will
be introduced - some in
every season — but it
doesn't last long
Thus, in the search for
something different from
the button down look of the
AOs, a lot of trash has been
thrown out
Among the casualties is
the once popular double
knit Baseball players still
are wearing double knits
(you II still see some double
knits at a few stores at
greatly reduced prices*
But the hard, plastic
looking all polyester dou
ble knits which can be
picked out in a crowd (rom
a low flying plane are fall
mg from popularity at
Wach speed
Going or gone with them
are leisure suits, which
someday will be right up
there with the Kdael, cran
hemes and the Nehru jack
et as one of the losers of
the postwar era.
Gone also are wide neck
ties and lapels that once
threatened to force a man
to tack so that he could
make headway Into the
wind Shirt collar» have
thinned, too
Three color shoes also

have gone the way of the
dodo bird and the Indian
head penny, in favor of
more quiet footwear and
heels that aren t stacked so
high (Sorry, little fellow )
Replacing these goodies
are practical fabrics which
have the look and feel of
the real thing Items like
wool-blend suits and jack
ets. cotton blend shirts and
pants which do not need
ironing and multi-blends
such as flax, cotton, linen,
silk and polyester.
Thus, the now popular
natural nubby look appears
very authentic
Lapels and neckties have
been slimmed to reduce
flapping in the breeze The
change is subtle — in frac
tions of inches — but ap
parent when the old and
new are seen side by side
V e rs a tility is e v e ry
where, even in the business
suit Major firms such as
Sears and Levi Strauss now
are offering suit pieces
separately, so that our man
may choose his jacket, vest
and pants as he wishes,
also mixing and matching
as he -tees fit
" It ’s kind of amazing
that the menswear Indus
try has taken this long to
latch onto the idea of sepa
rate components for men s
suits,'' said Paul Rogers, a
man who travels the world
as Sears chief menswear
taste arbiter.
“After all. the idea isn't
new Separates have been a
p a r t of the w o m en 's
sportswear scene since the
early '70s and then moved
on to men's sportswear
some yean ago "
The mix and match suit
always has been a bargain
lor the enterprising man
He can select a suit with a
jacket so that the jacket
can double as a sportcoat
to go w ith contrasting
changes They mean that
men s clothing lasts longer,
looks better and that who
ever does the family iron
ing doesn t have to spend
nearly so many long hours
over the steaming board
The blended fa b ric s
range from suits to slacks
to sweaters to underwear
and even to blue jeans
The chemists at Levi
Strauss have been doing
things to their denim
We ve developed a trad
itional looking jean that
feels like all cotton, but it's
a blend,” said Pat Gerber,
of Levi This means that
the jean lasts longer than
all cotton We've even
m anaged to m ake the
blended jean fade and age
just like its older cousin *
Who can deny that natu
ral aging is real progress,
whether in champagne or
blue jeans7
